After a wonderful drive down to Goodwood at sparrows fart this morning, enjoying the lovely spring sunshine and no a couple of pints of cider I can honestly say that everything worked very well for Nico there. The pit crew, the team and the management all contributed to him maintaining this amazing streak of wins dating back to when they changed the mechanics round. Good luck to him, it's obviously his turn to win the WDC this year. Doesn't make it very interesting for the viewers does it, seeing as the only guy in the only car capable of challenging Rosberg is constantly hobbled by spurious gremlins. Ah well, let's look forward to 2017 when maybe we'll see Hamilton, Vettel and Rosberg able to race side by side for championship.

Rosberg now with 43 point lead.... almost two clear wins. I would like to see Nico win but he needs to be challenged a bit.

Ferrari once again just flattering to deceive. They are nowhere near the Mercs.... Same can be said of Williams really, they had no race pace it was just a qualifying fluke to start it in third.

Nico was terrible with Putin. Didn't say anything, didn't ask any questions, left Putin and his aide to do all the talking.

Putin adds something special to it that I think only President Trump could outdo next season wink

That wasn't entertaining, it was painful... Nico's grimace as he stared down Pootin trying to think of something to say was quite funny though.

Good for Nico, WTF's he meant to say? He's a racing driver not a diplomat. He's probably glad just not to have put his foot in his mouth and have his first born son sent to Siberia.
