Official Not606 USA GP Chat and Predictions

It gives the anti-Hamilton's something to cling onto that it could all go spectacularly wrong for Lewis at the last race.

 

a weird race, kind of enjoyable yet in ways kind of not :s

 

I really enjoyed it. Action all over the field.

 

If he loses this championship through reliability at the final race then that's a **** take. Rosberg is not championship worthy.

 

Lots of action, I don't understand my niggling feeling. Enjoyed it anyway

I agree. It could be 11 wins for Hamilton to Rosberg's five.

 

I really hope next season is better. It's really frustrating watching a one sided championship

 

Bernie wants Rosberg to win it by a point.

It will justify his double points rubbish.

Watch this space.

 

Yeah, lets all watch Vettel win 9 in a row. So much better.

At least there is a championship battle going on this year and it will go to the final race.

 

Same. It was dull and exciting at the same time. Can't pinpoint it.

 

It is... At least the championship fight is still open though.

 

To be honest, given the ruling in Spa, Rosberg may as well just take second in the next race, then nick one of Lewis' back tyres during the race. There's literally no incentive not to do that.

 

Got a feeling Nico has something dirty lined up so he wins by default. Just an honest gut feeling.

 

Sorry I meant watching a one sided championship for multiple years. 2010 was probably the last enjoyable season

Lewis was smarter today, looked after his tyres better and beat Nico fair and square. I rate Rosberg highly but Hamilton has an extra ingredient which gives him that fine edge. An entertaining race and good to see Ricciardo on the podium again - a future champ with a great personality.

 

I'll be gutted if Rosberg takes the title on double points. I can't believe they're sticking with the ridiculous idea. It won't exactly be good for the image of the sport. Not that Bernie cares about that.

 

Well there's the question... given a world beating car, are you going to love Ricciardo's personality as much? Let's face it, we cheer for and enjoy the underdog as a neutral, but when one man becomes dominant, everything they do becomes annoying. Vettel went from being admired as a cracking Toro Rosso talent, to being booed for being boring and stinky and German and being overenthusiastic about winning a race with a car miles better than everybody else and for being too humble stupid humble bastard and for having curly hair I'm always suspicious of those types and for driving an energy drink that tastes like scrotum sweat and for looking smug and possibly being arrogant depending on your perspective and irrational hatred of the smug arrogant bitch.

 

He may be a WDC but he'll have no drive for next year and a very bad reputation I'm sure of that.
