Ferrari signs off yet another season second best to Mercedes, with a costly internal squabble.

I missed the first few laps .... when did Hamilton pass Bottas? Was it in racing, or during pitstops?

Hamilton closes in on another world crown. One of the UK's sporting greats, enjoy.

A non-racing, heart warming story. Classy by Lewis and Mercedes. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-surrey-49381413 RIP little Harry Shaw.

I always found Le Professeur irritatingly boring and calculated. Wanting Mansell and Senna to beat him. Button came across as a nicer human being, with more charisma.

I hope so. British engineering and German perfection, together unbeatable. When Ferrari last won, they went on a ManCity-esque shopping expedition poaching the best leaders, designers and engineers (Todt, Brawn, Stepney and Byrne) from across England and France, as well as the best driver...

Looking back, Hamilton was so right to leave McLaren when he did, despite their long ties and McLaren’s immense support to him as a kid. Sadly they were in unchecked decline. Hamilton’s fifth columnists in this country who slagged him off, were wrong.

What I do like is that Lewis and Verstappen seem to get on OK. (None of mind games and faux hard-man bullshit from Vettel, or weasel Rosberg). The stirring media would absolutely love it if there was aggro between the two. Plus it possibly screws Ferrari for a few seasons more. Happy days.

Totally agree with you on all points. The media love for sweet guy Button, often leads to a lack of respect for always honest and fiercely competitive Lewis. I missed today’s race, so I’m watching the full race Sky F1 just now on repeat. The commentary duo were, exactly as you describe...

That montage of grid interview incidents was good. Arrogant films stars and assorted other dicks, he wasn’t hurt by their pathetic snootiness.

Despite his lifetime in the sport, and us being just laymen without his gizmo’s, we seem to spot the key aspect of an incident whilst he’s still screaming. Is he trying hard to be a ‘character’. He can be a merchant of doom too ... banging on about likely penalties adversely affecting Lewis...

I love that colour. Football WC’s and Euro’s are so much better for the orange being there. Plus many of their ladies are aesthetically pleasing.

Everyone says that, including on NSC. I’m the odd one out here, I love the Dutch and their (mouthy) passion for their sporting heroes.

Martin Brundle on SkyF1 was a tit today. On the first couple of corners where Hamilton and Bottas were involved in a very brief ding-dong battle, Brundle was literally screaming it played into Verstappen’s hands time wise. Giving him a 2 second lead FFS, with 190 miles to race. Pathetic hype.

I like Verstappen a great deal, he’s also in a slightly inferior car on most tracks.

Hamilton and Mercedes are THE VERY BEST, yet again. Never believe the media hype about others after Saturday qualifying.

Vettel overtakes a load of drivers in vastly inferior cars and the Sky F1 team go berserk, pathetic.

I’m elated that we have young drivers on the grid by merit and would want them to win over everyone bar Lewis, if they can make that step one day to becoming the real deal. Obviously they need to be in an elite car too.

I like him and his confidence, reminiscent of the young gun Lewis. When Lewis retires, I can see myself rooting for Max (unless he joins Ferrari!).

Ferrari and/or Vettel seem to screw up every race weekend. This has been the same on and off for two or three years now. Not bad luck, but the relentless Anglo-Teutonic perfection of Mercedes has ground them down, as well as the best driver around in LH.
