Perfect start from Lewis.

The only time Hamilton will be on screen now is when he pits and then the final lap.
And when his engine inevitably explodes 
.
.Unless he breaks down, some clown runs into him, his pit lane team let him down, he makes a mistake....
Nah, it's done.
Great racing!
Worst last race championship decider ever.
Agreed. That start from Lewis has him nailed on for the title now. When the moment needed it, yet again he stepped up this season. Deserving champion if he holds on. Remember even a second place is a championship victory and that looks easily comfortable.
Hamilton looks like he is pacing himself, he has a massive advantage in Sector 3 too.
Nice boring race, I don't ever care.

Tempted to put GTA V back on for an hour.
Rosberg's catching Hamilton. Massa's had good pace so far too, if he tries to two stop and the Mercs three stop that could get interesting.
You all saying how good Hamilton's start was, when in reality Hamilton's start was as should be, it was Rosberg that fecked his start up and allowed Hamilton to get past. Pressure.
If Rosberg gets up behind Hamilton, I expect his front wing to remarkably touch one of Hamilton's rears.
It was a good start though, look how far ahead of P3 he was by Turn 1. Rosberg bogged down and still was 2nd comfortably.
I really hope you're right!!
Interesting to hear Prost and Berger mention that Lewis getting in front puts a different pressure on him if Rosberg can get close to him and push him into making a mistake.
It looked to me like Hamilton pulled away from the rest of the field too. It was a perfect start.
Comfortably now, but he did have to protect his position going into the first corner due to his shite start, which in turn gave Hamilton that further lead over third that you mention.
What a letdown so far. I want Lewis to win but I'd be ok if Rosberg won in a hugely exciting race.
Hamilton pulled away because Roseberg defended his position well and backed up the pack.
This is a bit shit. Wish they could fast forward to the last lap.
@Summit is right, Hamilton did was he needed to but the gap was that size so quickly because of Rosberg bogging down and defending.
@Dante is right. The gap that Hamilton pulled on 4th before Rosberg started blocking was huge.
The Mercs always make the best starts. Every weekend I've expected Bottas/Massa/whoever is third to jump into second, never happens. Bit like how the Ferraris have always been great off the line in previous years.
I don't think the Williams are quick enough to challenge the Mercedes, Lewis can drop back to 2nd and cruise for the rest of the race.
Gotta say I find it strange that Rosberg isn't attacking now rather than waiting, if he has pace he should be trying to force an error, its a World Title fight Nico.
So I watch a race for the first time in months because it promised excitement and it's just the same uneventfull yawnfest as always. Where has all the action gone?
King of Spain has let slip that Alonso has told him he's joing McLaren. Officially the longest and worst kept secret of the season is out of the bag now then...
Ffs, kings are always the worst secret keepers. Never trust a monarch.
I hate this track btw. The races are always processions.
Shame that the championship decider is on such an undeserving track.

Rosberg is a fanny
The track layout is shite isn't it, not a single challenging corner on it. Off camber corners need to go away too, nobody likes them.
Rosberg's dropped back to 7 seconds.
Rosberg losing power
Rosberg with engine problems?
Rosberg is done.
Rosberg engine fecked.
GTA it is
GTA it is
losing engine power. game over.
Losing engine power on Rosberg's car
KERS is gone on Rosberg car.
Looks like the Mercedes engineers sabotaged the wrong car by accident. Get in Lewis!
