Fantastic from Hamilton and well done for not letting Rosberg through

Interesting isn't it?

[RichC]

Corrupt to **** but it's a German legal loophole so you can't blame him.

[CJ]

it shows how much f1 is worth to him.

[RichC]

Is in sentiememt or financially!!

SSNs making a big deal of him being guilty of nothing and would have been found not guilty, money talks I suppose.

[CJ]

Its been worth a lot financially. I pressume that in his eyes f1 defines him so there will be some sentimentality there.

I am not sure even if your that rich you pay 60m because your innocent. Sky want to keep the f1 rights I'm sure. He does like doing deals so perhaps he knocked them down a bit and can write it off against tax?

16 year old Max Verstappen gets a race seat at Toro Rosso next season. 16! Not even old enough to drive a road car.

He is seen as the next hot property though.

He must be supremely talented to get a drive that young, he'll be 17 on the grid. Look forward to seeing him.

Was reading about him a couple of weeks ago.

I seem to remember kimi needing some dispensation for a super license when he got his first drive for sauber.

Rosberg is having all the luck in that team, i think all things being equal Hamilton would be 75 points ahead by now.

No points likely for Hamilton today, Rosberg of course will score something, maybe even still win.

[RichC]

Awful attempt to overtake which has left Rosberg looking pretty for big points.

Don't like him at all, used a few questionable tactics this season, he knows he's not up their with Alonso, Hamilton and Vettel

[CJ]

He is mentally stronger than most thought he was.
