Rosberg? I thought Bolshies were sposed to root for the working class hero Lewis, like me?
And wazzup with Toro Loco hiring a 16 year old for next year?
I don't care how good he is, that's just crazy.

Haha, yeah poor Lewis had such a rough childhood, I mean it musta been miserable hanging with his rich friend Nico. Then he had to race against him, god how miserable.
Lewis has the best radio tantrums and pissy interviews, though Seb has given him some competition this year. Still can't believe how Lewis won his championship, he better have bought Glock a few beers after that race. Lewis is one hell of a driver though.

I think I was hoping to see Hamilton get squirrelly after the contact. Was relieved when I saw the puncture. Eddie was right to back Rosberg, I can't believe Hamilton is such a fan favorite, to me he is the whiniest, little, bitch in the sport. And it takes one to know one, even if I'm not in the sport. Thanks a lot mom and dad.

I thought Rosberg admitted that he did it on purpose? I'd say Lewis showed
great restraint in not responding in kind.

Hamilton's
I'm gutted with the result - not just for my own championship hopes but for the team, as we really should have had a one-two today," he said.
"I didn't fully understand what had happened until I saw the replay just now, but I gave him plenty of space, took the corner like I usually do and suddenly felt a big hit from behind. There was nothing I could do about it and that was effectively my race over.
"What happens next is not my call - that's one for the bosses to make. But I'm now almost 30 points behind in the championship so that's the main thing on my mind. It's a big gap and it will be hard to recover from here.
Ha, like Mercedes might not win the championship, so gutting.
Rosberg's
“[Going] inside was not possible so I tried around the outside. To ask ‘should I have waited?’ is very hypothetical because who knows what happens afterwards. The opportunity was there and for me it was not a risky situation.”

If Mercedes had Vettel this season, they'd be undefeated.
Pretty strong statement....

What a race? How impressive was Hamilton today? He pressured Rosberg into
those gaffs IMHO. I bet Ferrari are thinking they goofed in letting Massa go.
And Vettel's mojo must be totally gone, eh?

Bad start, but great race by Hamilton... And cudos to Rosberg who has no problem admitting that the pressure made him lock up the brakes... Rosberg second and still leading by 22 points.

And how do the stewards justify slamming Magnusson for the second race in a
row while that bonehead Gutierrez gets away with something far more egregious?

Ferrari goofed by getting it wrong this year. i like Massa but Ferrari just is off power, off areo and off pace this year. Glad Felipe is running well.

I tried to get up earlier this morning to watch the live stream of The Italian Grand Prix...
I watched...
I'm always amazed at the advancements they have made each year with the cars.
The race is great to watch though too.
This mornings race had me wondering where all that sound went to this year. Then I remembered that movie about the 24 hrs of Le Mans featuring the Audi team using the sound to propel the machine equaling more power to the ground...
Audi... Where not even sound is wasted!
But the race the morning was great showing off the vast talent of Hamilton on the Mercedes Team...
Fell asleep due to the late night and early rise with only the race to watch meant sleep came first after the race began...
Anyone know where to catch a replay of that?
Cheers

Besides the top three spots, there was some good racing. Yeah Rosberg cracked, but still got good points. His average qualifying position is 1.8.
Riccardo is fun to watch and crazy seeing Vettel bested by his teammate again and again. Webber is loving it I bet. Wonder if Vettel will be in a new ride soon. Mercedes?

Horrible crash at Suzuka. Jules Bianchi flew off the track and hit a crane vehicle that had been deployed only one round earlier to pick up Sutils car who had crashed at the same spot.
Latest news is he suffered severe head trauma, was operated and is breathing on his own, which would be amazing considering the situation.
After seeing the pictures earlier today I have to admit I was sure he was not gonna make it. First thing that came to my mind was Senna. The wreckage, the looks on the doctors faces, him beeing unconcious on the way to hospital, it all felt so similar.

Just saw the video footage on YouTube that my brother sent me. Wow, I can't believe he is still alive, it would be a miracle if he makes it. Good thoughts his way.
I read earlier that he was not breathing unassisted, but who knows.

Really sad after such an exciting few days. Took the shine off of Lewis'
brilliant schooling of Nico.
Does Ferrari suck or what? Can't blame Alonzo for bailing. Not too sure
why Vettel wants some of that other than for 'prestige'? Ferrari can't
pay him more than Red Bull, can they?
