Even if you dont like Lewis, you cant deny this was an amazing race for him.
Amazing win, win number 101.

Erm yeah he was but of cnut as wellThe people whining about Verstappen clearly too young to have ever seen Schumacher drive
You are right.
Valtteri closing the gap but Max will take 2nd comfortably.
it’s up to the stewards to referee the race properly and they failed at that. max overstepped the line with the defence and only held the position by throwing his car into a ‘we either both crash or I stay ahead’ scenario.
Perez getting the fastest lap
I'll third it. He's the F1 equivalent of the NZ Rugby Union team
Imperial this weekend.
Yeah, but Max is a hypocrite who whines whenever someone does the same on him. The FIA being ridiculously inconsistent with their interpretation of the rules doesn't help too as it seems like Max can get away with anything for years and he never needs to learn the difference being aggressive and dirty.
Schumacher got away with a staggering amount over his career. The best drivers usually do.
Lewis got away with quite a bit of dirty driving against Rosberg and Vettel as well.
There's 3 styles to be fair, there's the 2 you mentioned and people like Alonso and to an extent Hamilton who give room, but still don't allow you to pass.
McLaren had a horrid weekend.
Very good race from Lewis, taking the championship to the wire, perfect stuff.
That was funny. Told he made up 20 places "it was actually 25"
Adding his qualifying and the race together, that's one of the great F1 performances

What a drive by Hamilton. Of course the new engine helped massively, especially on this circuit, but he absolutely nailed this race.
nah i’m not having that. his biggest mistakes either cost him (out of the race) or he got penalised for it.
Unbelievable effort by Hamilton this weekend. That was superbly tense through the middle to last third of the race.
That shit was intense
Probably one of the most complete drives from Hamilton this weekend, reminiscence of the infamous GP2 race in Turkey in 2006.
The stewards
That was as close to a gladiator battle we've seen to date. Phenomenal
Incredible drive all weekend. Brilliant race
Yeah it was tense, but Lewis had everything go right today after everything going wrong at the start of this weekend.
I thought the dirty air and Max getting DRS from lapped cars in front like last time would come into it again, but in the end it didn't work out for him this time. Mercs (Lewis) were just too strong.
if it was just the car then bottas should have won comfortably.
First race I've watched for a few years. Incredible from Hamilton.
Just brilliant by Lewis. Brilliant driving. What a season
That was an incredible performance. Tremendous driving and sheer persistence by Lewis.
not a bad one to come back to!
What a race. what a season. Why does it have to end
Bottas must be the worst driver ever in a top team?
No new ICU for Bottas though, which seems like it will be the determining factor for the championship.
Wouldn't say that. He doesn't have a brand new engine every week. Verstappen still has a 14point lead too.
I dont watch it now as much as i used, but how is it that Bottas is not able to do the same in the same car? Is lewis just a miles better driver, if not the greatest ever?
Kovaleinen for me
bottas engine isn’t exactly old. he was 7 places ahead and ended up how many seconds behind?

The drama this season has been off the charts
It's been gladiatorial. Would not have been the same if Max didn't get his elbows out.
Wonder how much wear that new ICE has now after 71 laps at that pace in that heat.
They'll hope it'll do at least the next 2 races and then maybe have to put one of the older ones in for the final race.

Heikki Kovalainen in the McLaren always has that title. Maybe Perez at McLaren in 2013.
