This will be fun to see Lewis try to pass Max

As an F1 fan you'd want to see Kimi win given he hasn't in ages and probably won't get such a good chance but it will Hamilton as he's on the fresh rubber (who will win the championship anyway).

Hamilton seems to be struggling again. The soft tyres seem to be worse than the super softs which is so bizarre it makes perfect sense for Pirelli.

Pirelli upped the minimum psi prior to race and this will have had an impact on the set up on the softs.

Hopefully the Honda performs reasonably well next year, can't wait for the battle between HAM & VER in future.

Ham will have to wait until the next race.

Seems that Hamilton isn’t that great at overtaking people who don’t just let him pass..

Awaits.

Fun race that, good drives from the top 3 but poor showings from Vettel and Bottas. Could have been a lot worse for Hamilton with a clean race for Ricciardio and Vettel, a podium and two more points over Vettel is a pretty decent outcome all things considered.

Seriously dude?
He couldn’t get it done because Max didn’t just pull over and say “go on sir, off you go”.

Ham fans are to easy.

Congratulations Kimi, great drive! Excellent drive from Max as well, 18th to 2nd!

Maybe Ferrari should have backed Kimi as their No 1:D Well done to him.

You’ve asked that twice now. No, no it isn’t.
You didn't answer it the first time.

Still remains that he couldn’t get passed the guy who actually races when it counted or am I wrong?
Past, not passed.

No, you're not wrong - i wasn't disagreeing, i just found your opinion based on a bit of sensationalism. The guy has been head and shoulders above the field this season, so one race doesn't make a season.

I just don't know what your expectations where on Hamilton? It was clear to those with a more experienced eye, that Mercedes (with an overall increased PSI) on a used soft tyre didn't have the legs, on a line in turn 18 which had only one result in terms of going off track. With 3 laps to go, he was never going to get the 1-2 second gap close enough to attempt a pass.

He has also had a lot of help from his teammate. I’m not saying the bloke doesn’t deserve the title, in recent weeks he has blown Seb away who has simply bottled under the pressure but from a personal point of view I don’t like the bloke, never have and never will.
