Both safety cars benefited Hamilton massively. First one contracted a ten second Rosberg lead and the second gave him a free pit stop and fresher tires when Rosberg was on course to win. That was a very fortunate win for Hamilton.@LMSCorvetteGT2 Nico's error gifted him the win and without the last safety car he wouldn't have won.
I can think of years where the WDC had been already won prior to the US GP, but I can't think of any US GP where the championship was won.
Childish Nico... Did he throw the hat at Lewis?
Rather the opposite. Lewis threw him the hat. Nico just returned it. Not really nice from Lewis, knowing that the hat clearly states "2nd" on the side.Childish Nico... Did he throw the hat at Lewis?
We have a capgate hereKinda had to laugh at the awkward cap exchange.
That's very unfair on Rubens, he was never the bottler that Rosberg is.Another fine second place for Barrichel...sorry, I mean Rosberg. He's lucky Mercedes need him only to be a solid number two driver, otherwise he'd be sacked quicker than he cracks!![]()

This was Mercedeses reaction to Rosbergs slip up, when Hamilton overtook him. Wow.
The stare from Paddy Lowe to Rosberg afterwards was pretty intense.Rather the opposite. Lewis threw him the hat. Nico just returned it.
Technically yes since it is US soil, but that was the Caesar's Palace Grand Prix.Keke Rosberg won in 1982 at Vegas, per the NBC announcers.
Granted, it was the last race of that year, so I'm not sure if that's what you meant.

Completely agree, I'm normally more of a HAM than a ROS fan, but that was just a douchebag action from HAM.Insensitive from Hamilton. Understandable that he's emotional, but that seemed completely disrespectful and ill-timed. I'm glad Rosberg lobbed it straight back at him.

Very true actually!That's very unfair on Rubens, he was never the bottler that Rosberg is.
