Race was crap, personality traits interesting.
Gained respect for Lewis. Class act to go through with the switch back, wasn't expecting it.
Lost respect for Ric. Sure it sucks to have been in his position, but to then use that to personally attack your team mate rather than just to say it's a racing accident? And to give him the middle finger from the sidelines on his next lap past? Bit of a poor show IMO.
Alonso had me giggling like a school girl at the end. Fantastic.
Hulk Vs. KMag - hilarious.

Heroes and personalities are good (e.g. the shooey is fun if a little childish, the Alonso deckchair is funny) but like football, kids look to these guys as role models.

Brundle's reply:
My point JB is that Fernando is not a comedy act under a podium full of Ferrari/Merc drivers,he deserves to be up there fighting for champs
Doesn't explain when he said that team bosses don't want him
Because he's difficult to work with.My point JB is that Fernando is not a comedy act under a podium full of Ferrari/Merc drivers,he deserves to be up there fighting for champs

With Alonso's age and demands for staying at Ferrari http://www.motorsportmagazine.com/opinion/f1/matti... you're better off dealing with fresh meat ie. Ricciardo and Max Verstappen

Lewis doesn't have a no.1 status in his team, and never has. History has shown this to be the case. He's always said so in public (with a straight face).
When was the last time you heard fernando or Vettel publicly come out and say they've never signed a contract without asking for no.1 status in a team?
Lewis has even gone as far as criticise those that do have no.1 status in their respective teams.
It's why I have more respect for him than any other driver on the grid.
If anyone has come on the forum and claimed the opposite are obviously delusional idiots.

Incidentally, can Kimi really think he's getting the rough end of strategy decisions due to sheer bad luck?
Can he be that thick?
He complains about it as if he hasn't twigged he's No2.
It looks like Di Resta took 'stepping into Massa's shoes' too literally

I think Kimi is just happy getting paid now.Incidentally, can Kimi really think he's getting the rough end of strategy decisions due to sheer bad luck?

I would love to see Ferrari offer Verstappen or Ricciardo a drive but Vettel knows he would be beaten so it will never happen.

What did Vettel do yesterday that was uncomfortable? Was it his decision or the teams?
Do you think it is better for the team to have a Hamilton<>Nico dynamic?
It is more just the way he has been acting since getting trumped by Ricciardo.Do you think it is better for the team to have a Hamilton<>Nico dynamic?
I am sure all fans would prefer the following
Mercedes
Hamilton, Alonso or Ricciardo
Ferrari
Vettel and Verstappen
But as a team it would cause headaches as both teams have a number one. More so at Ferrari.
Red Bull has the strongest line up but unfortunately they have car issues or Verstappen has a moment

Agree, I think they should have let Kimi go for it anyway fastest lap at the end for Alanso 
From Ferrari's POV, if they let Raikonnen go ahead at his full pace then Hamilton would likely have picked off Vettel for 2nd place and they'd have lost a 1-2 finish.By keeping Vettel in front, Raikonnen was able to hold off Hamilton and ensure the top two places for Ferrari.
Also of course, Vettel is very much in contention for the WDC and Raikonnen is not, so they want to help him get as many points as possible to build the lead over Hamilton.

You do have to wonder how safe it was having someone replace Massa with such sort notice.https://www.motorsport.com/f1/news/di-resta-willia...
Clearly not having the correct shoes would be a total nightmare.
When I raced Karts an accident broke my seat so I needed to borrow one which was slightly too small.
The blood blisters were fun for about a week after.

KImi's car also seems to have issues at each race.By keeping Vettel in front, Raikonnen was able to hold off Hamilton and ensure the top two places for Ferrari.

Must have been refreshing for him that it was Vettel's car this time out
BTW was Vettel's issues due to him hitting the curbs too hard or a fault?

If I heard him right, in the room of awkwardness, he felt something when his car was dropped off the jack and it felt like it wanted to go left thereafter.Must have been refreshing for him that it was Vettel's car this time out

The advice to stay off the kerbs was to stop whatever it was getting worse.
