    Swiss TV feed was all about the Alonso / Button battle, then suddenly, "oh look, Hamilton takes the lead, here's the replay"

    You watching SF? Was always good to be able to swap over to ORF and RTL during the breaks!

    At least it's live and free (provided you've paid the Billag;))!

    Can't see Rosberg getting past at this rate.

    That was interesting to watch - wondering whether Rosberg might come out ahead after his box - but it's gone the other way. Hamilton's to lose, then.

    From out there on the moon, international politics look so petty. You want to grab a politician by the scruff of the neck and drag him a quarter of a million miles out and say, ‘Look at that, you son of a bitch’.

    I wondered what Vettel's crew were thinking, pulling him in so late for soft tyres, but the way he's chewing up the mid-field has me going "a-ha". :cool:

    Bittersweet in that the drivers championship is now over (baring mechanical failures) but there was some fantastic wheel to wheel racing today through the field!

    Rosberg has been mentally beaten today and there is no way back for him.

    Well done Lewis. Some great mid field battles there a bit disappointing up front though. Ricciardo was mighty impressive again!

    Some great battles. Has to be one of the races with the most overtaking this season?

    Defo one of the best races this year with lots happening throughout.

    So for Brazil, if Lewis has a DNF and Rosberg wins, double points in the last race won't matter a damn!

    It's still amusing when Grosjean complains that somebody has made contact with him :D

    If Rosberg could get to the last race within 13 points of Lewis, then it would be down to who wins the last race and the second place guy wouldn't matter.
    That would be exciting.

    Excellent race, shame about the result. Cannot believe how bad Raikkonen was, hopefully there was damage to the car. If that was his best then I can't see him staying around too much longer.

    Great watching Vettel having fun.

    Rosberg was beaten fair and square, Hamilton just seems to be on a roll. Can't believe we're going to end another season with one driver winning every race. I'm a fan of Rosberg but if he somehow manages to win the championship due to double points it would be a travesty.

    Good midfield battles, but up front its very boring really, Lewis made that overtake look easy.

    ...and those double points.
