Man, feel a bit sad for Perez but Verstappen nailed that.

 

[JDB]

Max singlehandedly redeemed the race. Amazing stuff.

 

[Nyx]

Hamilton did great, but Verstappen made it a very enjoyable race to watch even with all the SC's.

 

[scorcher59]

There have been several DOTD's today OCO, NASR, PER and of course VES

 

[Zeknurn]

Well after a complete shitshow by the FIA it turned into pretty decent race.

Nasr getting those points for Sauber is my drive of the day. It must have been hell to drive that horse carriage in these conditions.

 

[Aiii]

Nico is gonna buckle under pressure next race, I have this feeling.

 

[Scotch]

This is better than that 2nd place he would've got without crazy stops

This is true. Thanks Red Bull for fucking up

 

[Gareth Bale]

Nico is well overdue that DNF now

 

[SunhiLegend]

 

[CrayToes]

Would be amazing. Can't see him not finishing top 3 though.

 

[Pterion]

Time for reliability gremlins to hit Rosberg. You know, for fairness' sake.

 

[brotkasten]

A lot will be said rightfully so for the day Max had and it was INSANE, but my man Nico is mentally built like a motherfucking TANK. This was a rough race for him, he got lucky some but always stayed resilient. Quietly terrific stuff. One more podium to go baby!

Yeah, props to him. I honestly thought 2015 would break him, turning him into Massa or Webber, but it hasn't happened yet. Good for him.

 

[roytheone]

Man, how can you still say that Verstappen isn't going to be world champion soon after that performance? He only needs a car that is able to keep up with the best, and he will probably be the favourite to win it! No pot needed!

 

[Tempy]

Rosberg must be feeling that sense of dread coming up.

 

[Chuck]

So when Ham wins next race, what's the worst Nico can do and still win the championship?

 

[DrM]

VES is the driver of the day

Too bad for RBR mumbojumbo with inters, because he could won it.

Time for reliability gremlins to hit Rosberg. You know, for fairness' sake.

Engine blowout on penultimate lap in Abu Dhabi

 

[Ruruja]

Time for reliability gremlins to hit Rosberg. You know, for fairness' sake.

It would be 'fair' but that would be a terrible feeling in the final race, hope it doesn't happen tbh.

 

[Lach]

3rd I think

 

[brotkasten]

P3, I think.

 

[Juicy Bob]

Rosberg must be feeling that sense of dread coming up.

Nah. He's got an open goal here. His destiny is down to him.

 

[Nevasleep]

Those poor Brazilian girls waiting outside lol

 

[norinrad]

Max and Lewis seem to like each other a lot.

 

[SunhiLegend]

 

[Leonsito]

Holy shit what a day saved for Rosberg. Great race for almost everyone: Hamilton, Verstappen, Sainz, Ocon, Hulk...

 

[PatjuhR]

Rosberg so happy with RedBull strategy

 

[nature boy]

Sounds like Alonso was doing a bit of Verstappening off-camera.

Shhhh, don't piss on the parade

Gotta keep Heineken happy!

 

[Lionel Richie]

Yeah, props to him. I honestly thought 2015 would break him, turning him into Massa or Webber, but it hasn't happened yet. Good for him.

True that, he had to endure some bleak shit last year, it must have been exhausting and a lesser driver would not be in the position he is this year. Not even close. He kept his head down, kept working and just kept pushing. Beautiful stuff.

 

[Business]

ROS accomplished his objective, but I think he was humilliated today.

VES with a performance to remember. Gotta mention SAI too.

 

[krang]

Nah. He's got an open goal here. His destiny is down to him.

Indeed. Hence the dread.

Edit: Fucking fake App Store ads, every fucking click....fuck off!!

 

[Konosuke]

VES telling his elders how to race in the rain haha

 

[theignoramus]

Shit, Ive been critical of Mad Max, but that was one of the finest drives Ive seen in years. He may have won the race if it hadnt been for safety cars.

 

[Ruruja]

Max and Lewis seem to like each other a lot.

I think Lewis is the only one that hasn't shit-talked him lol.

 

[Jibbed]

Shit, Ive been critical of Mad Max, but that was one of the finest drives Ive seen in years. He may have won the race if it hadnt been for safety cars.

We never saw how quick the Mercedes (well, Hamilton) was in overtake mode so hard to say, but yeah he looked to be the only one with the pace to fight them today.

 

[M52B28]

What a great race. I'm glad they continued it despite the many problems.

 

[theignoramus]

It would be 'fair' but that would be a terrible feeling in the final race, hope it doesn't happen tbh.

It could always blow in Q3 so he starts 10th.

 

[Yagami_Sama]

Hamilton is now the second in number of victories. Only Shumacher has more wins than him.

 

[Tempy]

Right, what does Rosberg need to become WDC?

 

[sems4arsenal]

Rosberg not bothering his way into a world championship/tears

 

[FuturusX]

Max and Lewis seem to like each other a lot.

Natural racers...mutual respect.

 

[Lach]

Can't agree more. I'll call him out when he does dumb shit, but that doesn't mean he's not an incredible driver and today was a very nice drive. RB went risky on the strategy and he still got back onto the podium with some wonderful overtakes.

Anywhere on the podium

 

[aspiegamer]

Any podium position.

 

[DrM]

If Lewis wins, 3rd place is enough

 

[dakun]

Rosberg was always shit in the rain. He's like Massa with the exception of not crashing all the time.

 

[Lionel Richie]

Right, what does Rosberg need to become WDC?

Third place. Honestly, he needs to not break lol

 

[PdotMichael]

Right, what does Rosberg need to become WDC?

If Hamilton wins the next race then he would only need a third place.

 

[SunhiLegend]

Hamilton "You could have easily just stayed second"
Max "Sorry"

 

[JDB]

I think Max could've taken 2nd if RBR didn't try Inters, but Hamilton seemed pretty comfortable in front.

 

[Upinsmoke]

Hamilton is now the second in number of victories. Only Shumacher has more wins than him.

Great achievement. Won't catch Schumi though,
