Wish we could see more of it. Vettel goes from 5th to 3rd during a commercial and they don't show the replay (yet) and then we have to leave the race to see Matchett's aero piece.

The Belgian Max Verstappen (The rain man) became 18 a couple of weeks ago .
Before he drove without driver license in F1 and now he passed here the exam and got it . His comment the day after in the Belgian newspaper was like... Max said => A driver license means nothing to me because..." I'm born to race " And probably he is one of the most talented F1 drivers in the world . Today he was on place 4 and hope one day he can get a good car.....Not bad at all for the young Belgian !

After such poor conditions and disappointing action, I'm glad the spectators got to see what is probably the best race of 2015 so far.
Congrats to Lewis! A well deserved victory and championship. And huge thumbs down to Nico for poor sportsmanship in the post-race events. Can't believe he threw the hat back to Hamilton. Yes, he was pushed wide at the start but he lost the race all on his own. |

Congrats to HAM.
Hopefully next year Ferrari and Red Bull will be better and make it a more exciting three horse race til the end. Also hoping RB will get the engine situation sorted out. Tifosi nation |

Nico is the poor sportsman acting like a little b*tch after the race. I keep trying to give Nico the benefit of the doubt as a fan. But he keeps acting like this after races, just going to have to give up on him. |

I think Nico's attitude was great. The hell with the PC and the hell with the Ra-Ra Hammy nonsense. What sports need are rivalries, not some BS everybody loves everybody lets swordfight with our wangs after the race.
The great sports figures in history all had rivals. Senna/Prost, Schumi/Mika/McLaren, Bird/Magic, Jordan/The entire teams of the Knicks/Pistons, Ali/Frazier, on and on. I've thought for the longest time Nico was too nice, too much of a gentleman. Hopefully now he'll get pissed off, realize the window of opportunity in his career is closing, and punt Hamilton off the track the first chance he gets. |

First off, congrats to Lewis Hamilton!! Well-deserved for a dominant 2015 performance.

That being said, I think he was the better driver today, with a questionable move by Hamilton at the beginning (who claims it was an accident - perhaps - definitely more so than at Spa last year) and an unfortunate unforced error. He should have dominated this race from start to finish. I guess you can call it bad luck... but this seems to happen to him a lot, so is it truly just bad luck Either way, he'll come back stronger next year, and with Ferrari hopefully more in the mix we're in for a better season

Easily the best race of the year...Austin is fast become one of my very favourite tracks despite Tilke having a say in its layout. Lucky win for Lewis given the way the race played out especially with the pit stops but he won with good grace and well deserved the DWC.
Bit disappointed with Nico, been a bit of a fan for ages but his poor attitude is beginning to grate now. He is a very fast driver, only a little behind LH so it was really unfortunate for him that Merc signed up LH just as the team was coming on strong otherwise it could well have been Nico with 2 DWCs at Merc. |

It's one thing if a car is slowing your lap times, or even if you can make a case for impeding (Rossi vs. Marquez), but on a pole sitter in first turn - you don't contact if there is a chance for a contest. This isn't Senna when they inexplicably gave Prost an unusual clean side if the track for the start, this was Schumacher knocking out Hill after the Ferrari ricochets back on the track after a self-inflicted off. |

Bottom line: Hamilton is a much better driver than Rosberg, who let's face it is and was a spoiled brat. I'm sick of him and his wasted talent. He should take some of that 'anger' that he is so full of on the podium and channel it to actually beat Hamilton on track. Except he can't. Bish |

^^^^ Bish I think Hamilton is good enough to bump a car off and not damage his own car, and the strategy is even if he damaged his own car this race doesn't require a win. I can't believe with the capability of the fresh tires along with his talent he inadvertently understeered into his teammate.
Rosberg was quick this wknd and that lap one tap was either brilliant strategy or a 'dick' move. |

I thought HAM deserved to win the WDC given he has totally outclassed ROS the whole season, let's hope for 2016 season for Ferrari and the others to close the gap to Mercedes.
