Must give massive credit to Vettel. Been amazing all season and massively outperformed Kimi.

And Sainz and Verstappen. Toro Rosso have two brilliant drivers in those two.

Warmed to Vettel this year, seems a different persona with Ferrari.

What. A. Fucking. Race!!!
Well done to Lewis, deserved. Hard luck Nico but remember nobody likes a sore loser 
Vettel has always been the same, everyone just doesn't hate him because he isn't in a dominant car winning all the time. He's got a great sense of humour and is an extremely good driver

I just never believed he was world class. At Redbull, lets face it, Webber was pretty shit! I don't remember seeing constant battles like Nico and Lewis have.
Now Vettel is driving a half decent motor around but still has occasional dog like tendencies and an absolute nutter for a team mate, yet still managed to get a sniff at the championship (albeit extremely slight).

The way Vettel was able to punch out the perfect qualifying lap when he had that Red Bull was incredible. Just out of nowhere he'd absolutely smash it. Very meticulous when he's out in front (apart from Canada 2011). He controls a race so well. Shown that he's more than capable wheel to wheel too. Granted he's got better at that with experience.
I've tried not liking him but as Jambo says, he actually comes across like a pretty sound guy. I just preferred Webber, so it was easy to see Vettel as the bad guy at the time. Multi 21 and all that.

Some beautiful words by Lewis into the camera when being interviewed by Brundle and Co. Hpw anyone can say he's this or that is beyond me. Seems to be a lot of jealously around.

great race, and well done to Lewis on his 3rd championship
Vettel, like Jambo said, has always been the same and is much more personality, like recardo, than the rest of the pitlane IMO
Lets hope Ferrari can bring it to merc next year

Genuinely thought Manor would score a point at the end by default. Would've been great to see Rossi score in the US; great for the Manor team too but it wasn't to be.
The podium was rather odd, on one side you had a lesson on how to be gracious in defeat - Vettel. Then on the other you had a wonderful lesson from Nico on acting like a child, spitting the dummy out and throwing all your toys out the pram - Paddy Lowe even had to spray Nico's champagne for him. No much wonder the cunt was booed from the stands, miserable twat.

I think Vettel's PR issues can almost all be attributed to Christian Horner, the guy is a cock so I guess we assumed he was speaking on behalf of Vettel most of the time.
Even back in his RBR days, I found it hard to dislike Vettel when he did (rare) feature interviews with the various media companies, but again part of his problem was that he was so private outside of a Grand Prix weekend - giving us little else than "the finger" to judge him on.
Remember my pictures from Texas last year? (I won't post them as Ben G will be rage fitting again about his 56k connection ) but I met everybody in a Piano Bar in Austin. In all the post-race stuff, Simon Lazenby was interviewing Paddy Lowe and he asked where the party was going to be last night - the answer, the same bloody Piano bar. What a night that would have been to crash as a fan

I would agree with that Kyle
Be interesting to see how the Rosberg hamilton relationships lasts now
Rosberg should have been the better man, but I would have shoved that podium hat up down Hamiltons throat if he had thrown that to me. Can't blame him for reacting iMO - Paddy's face said it all - a very stern look at Rosberg
Interesting Hamilton had a bit of Sennna/Schuey approach letting his car into rosberg on the first corner - not a bad thing but exactly what they would have done - that killer instinct that make them multiple world champions

Really looking forward to the race this weekend. Had a couple of goes on the Mexico track on the F1 game and it seems like a good circuit. Should be several overtaking opportunities.

not sure all the drivers agree with you after seeing the practice track is like an ice rink even in the dry. High speed circuit with Monaco levels of down force

That stadiumconer looks abit of a bitch aswell. Very tight here and easy to crash out, as Verstappen showed.
360kph is bloody mental! Can't believe Bottas managed to only lose a front wing when he spun into turn

Been some great action in the practise sessions, low grip circuits are excellent - but I'm sure by race time it will be rubbered in nicely.

Yup - there was not a lot of action there. So many cars with completely screwed tyres able to stay ahead of others.
