2016 Formula 1 Season Paddock

Sainz is doing the douchey Verstappen late move

 

I said " why not mediums ? " out loud when he pulled out of the pit box

 

Could hardly see the late block by Verstappen coming

 

Good job Nico

 

Congrats Mercedes

 

Lots of overtaking in the race

McLaren was invisible

 

Hamilton's season just ended. I wonder if his starts will get better now that his shot at the championship is over. Vettel raced well, for a change. From the sounds of it he may have had fingers wagged at him by Ferrari management. Nico drove a superb race. NBC was trying to make something of the late-race catching up by Max and Lewis, but really Nico was just managing the car and the gap the whole time. Too bad for Haas after such a good quali. McHonda OMG; what is it this year with teams at their 'home' races anyway.

 

The Mercedes cars were running with the power turned down and heavier viscosity oil in an effort to not have another big end bearing failure like on Hamilton's car in Malaysia

Hulkenberg signs with Renault

How good is Renault supposed to be in 2017? Better or worse compared to Force India? I wish the Hulk would have got Kimi's spot at Ferrari. Out with the old, in with the new.

 

Yes

 

Force India caught off guard by Hulkenberg exit , will wait to announce his replacement

Nah, this season has been a snoozer.
