Some of the above comments are hilarious! Tax is divisive from an ideological perspective but it makes us all smile from time to time eh? Long may it continue to do so :D

Agree the forum will be the first port of call when the first jet arrives. :thumbsup:

Why would Ferrari deliberately crash out? that's nonsensical - even if with the way Lewis was driving it looked highly likely he would have caught him anyway - even then why throw away the chance of coming second or third and keeping the title hopes even .

if anything Bottas might have caught him on the restart with his fresher tyres if he hadn't been given team orders - either way after all Lewis did throughout the race he fully deserved the win - what is wrong with people - we have a British driver who is arguably the best we've had for decades and just because he's different he gets slagged off by a minority .

agreed ^, Lewis may well have had the pace to keep VB behind him without team orders, he was putting in fastest laps, one of the best GP's I've seen in a while although that does depend on who you are rooting for I guess.

The only 'fact' to take onboard from yesterdays race, is that Vettel cant drive for s**t in the rain

I'm pretty sure it's not the first time he's bailed out due to the rain aswell :lol:

Tbh, I'm gutted for him. Must be awful to skid out at what seemed like pretty low speed and not being able to do anything about it.

Once again, everyone's crying about Lewis cutting the pits and also being 'gifted' the lead. Pathetic really. Yet when Ferrari impose team orders, it's perfectly ok.

Agree with the last 4 posts :thumbsup: when Hamilton first joined the F1 championship he got slagged off for being a corporate robot now when he speaks his mind and dresses a bit trendy he gets slagged off again was the same for Mansell everyone moaning he was boring when being interviewed they cant win whatever they do

You can say what you like about his personality, his dress sense, his attitude - but honestly who cares ? The man is without question a phenomenal driver, which is kind of all that matters.

He is one of the most gifted sportsmen we have....for some reason however he seems to attract a lot of folk who can only be described as intolerant.....perhaps I should mention that he is also a practicing Christian.....this is also something he is doubtless disliked for by many....

Mega cringe moment with “Love conquers all”, but yeah - incredible pace! Last two GPs have been great.
