His ass may be on fire, but they have plenty of icy-hot in the garage to cure that and celebrate this win.
 
One of the sponsors on the car is Nova Chemicals. How appropriate. :lol:
 
Congrats to Hamilton and Mercedes, was a tight finish at the end :p

Wasn't a bad race really..
 
Grand chelem for Hamilton, I think?

Could have been exponentially better if the SC came when people wanted it or if no SC and Kimi caught Vettel.
 
Both McLaren-Honda's finish, and in the Top 15. Great job, they are definitely improving.
 
Lewis is a bit like Vettel when he gets pole position, in cruise control the whole way. Nico needs to step up big time, not good enough.

I think Rosberg has never won from P2 without Lewis retiring

It was a 16 car race

Edit: @RacingLine not surprised with that stat, nor can I see that stat changing.

I'm trying to soften the blow for us McLaren fans...

They were comfortably in the Top 15 anyway without the retirements.

Boring race but super impressive form from Hamilton, and nice to see Kimi finally showing some pace again.

Finishing a race is indeed an improvement 👍 I'd say pace wise Mclaren maybe as good as Force India.

In fairness to Kimi this is the first 2015 race where his car has survived Lap 1 intact.
 
Hamilton gets a giant shiny ring for his troubles...
 
Unsung hero award this weekend goes to Romain Grosjean.

Verstappen and Pastor seemed likely at the halfway point, but issues out of their hands changed that. I do believe the spins Pastor had were a growing brake issue.

Also even though McLaren had another tough weekend, if you notice how they tend to fight people at the end of the race and have long stints and do all these great defensive driving moves...it truly shows their racers have the spirit to challenge for a title but need Honda to make it happen.
 
Ed Moses to do podium interviews.
 
Some guy I've never heard of doing the interviews...
 
Now I sleep and wake up for WEC race.
 
Renault reliability is terrible, almost 3 failures out of 3 races for Verstappen (because in Malaysia there was also a water leakage and he could just make it to the finish).
 
The most entertainment I had in this race is Maldonado's shenanigans.
 
Apparently things got fiesty between Rosberg and Hamilton in the Press Conference.

And?

Are you saying Pastor shouldn't have turned in? Calm down.

I stated I'm calming myself down. And I stated Pastor had to turn in. Read my quote you quoted. All good.

Yeah Lewis is doing a bit of egging on but let's be fair her at one point when Lewis was full of frustrations during last year (Monaco-Singapore) Rosberg was the one doing it. So either way I find it fair that if you're leading and feel the power of everything behind you why not seal the deal by destroying the confidence of your main rival.
