Red Bull & Mercedes domination killed my interest in the sport. Also the tv channels that used to have the rights that were showed on my country now shows a few races a year and not the others. Pastor getting out doesn't helps as well.

And you said Alonso was a drama queen hahaha. What a loser is Hamilton!
Happy for Rosberg tho, he deserved it. And now let's hope next year is a bit interesting.

He controlled the rest and tried that Vettel, Verstappen come close to Nico. If Nico would have been that great why didn´t he just overtake Hamilton? And Wolff honestly wants to talk to Ham because he "didn´t play by the rules"  LOL F1 these days is a boring pussy sport. Hope RB and Ferrari get strong for next year. Mercedes only is getting boring... |

If Rosberg had tried to pass him, Lewis would have just bumped him off the track (as he has done countless times in the latest three years), so VET/VERS and possibly even Ricciardo would have passed Nico. Nico had everything to lose. He did the smart thing and kept calm under the pressure of Hamilton's "dirty" tricks. |

Would have been too dangerous to be out himself and not win the championship. He lost the championship cause of a technical problem, nothing else. |

Would have been too dangerous to be out himself and not win the championship. He lost the championship cause of a technical problem, nothing else. Because that's what he usually does. Some drivers just can't be overtaken. They'll just move you to the outside of the corner until you get pushed out of the track. It happens almost all the time with Hamilton and Verstappen. That's racing, you say, and that's perfectly fine. I'd rather have clean defensive maneuvers and overtakes, and plenty of drivers do that (Ricciardo, Raikkonen, etc, have never done dubious moves when overtaking or defending their position). Also, I disagree on your last point. Hamilton did lose the championship because of one technical problem, but also because he was inconsistent in the first half of the season. In terms of pure driving talent HAM is probably better than ROS, but it's Rosberg who did the better work this year and he fully deserves the championship. |

True Ros deserves the championship? True But so would have Ham if he would have got it today. Clean defense maneuvers? F1 changes its rules every few weeks so who knows what that is. I prefer the old school F1 where the drivers could do what they wanted more or less and not getting told all the time to drive faster or slower. Why does Lowe need to tell HAM to go faster today? Sure P1 and 2 bring a lot of money but stuff like that is boring for the fans. If they want it all clean do it on a Playstation. Sorry for getting off topic, congrats to Rosberg he got most points at the end so he deserves it. F1 still is getting shittier every year because of weird rules (they plan standing re-starts after SC-laps next year...WTF?) |

I think this was the first season in many years when I didn't watch a single race, or even followed results. It's just so boring with small engines and everything. Offtopic, but I used to be a massive motorsport fan only couple of years ago. Mainly because I got hooked on to Simracing and especially after I became sort of "insider" in that scene and started knowing people. It's funny how small that simracing community actually is. Max Verstappen, for example, is a part of famous iRacing team, Team Redline: www.teamredline.co.uk/team/I've never seen Max but I've driven with at least 7 of those drivers and one of them is actually my old teammate from +3 years back. Other "famous" people I know are Dennis Lind who is a cousin of Kevin Magnussen and has driven in European Le Mans Series (he once asked me to join his simracing team but I declined  ) and Kevin Korjus (ex Lotus F1 test driver), who I've met couple of times in a game called Live For Speed. And many "friend's friend is a...". |

Fair play to Hamilton who has upped his game considerably but the way Vettel and his Ferrari have dropped off the cliff has really taken the tension away from what was turning into one of the great championship battles. |

Räikkönen was doing a pitstop, someone changed green light too early and one of the mechanics broke his leg very badly...

And he was quite a dick post it, because he did not even went to check on the poor guy. Thank god Seb managed to hold on. And amazing result of Gasly, and Ericsson i wonder what McLaren is thinking right now. |

Huge Crash At Spa's F2 Feature RaceWas watching the race and saw this happening live. The cars are not supposed to deform like that...i hope Hubert and Correa are ok...but i have a bad feeling. Ambulances are already on the scene.

Hubert has died as a consequence of the crash. I'm gutted, been following his career since he was in GP3.

Horrible crash. Not a lot you can do to prevent that. Maybe a bigger outlet zone could have saved his life. May he Rest in peace

I heard today F1 runners will change or even take out Raidillon for safety after this... They shouldn't do this. Raidillon is business card for this Grand Prix. But they should more gravel in this zone after crash

btw this season is boring - Ferrari are clowns because of Binotto and their tactics, Verstappen is okay but Gasly ruined the whole year, Bottas 2.0 is shit after Monaco I think?
but Germany GP was so epic, the second interesting race of 10s after Canada 2011 (as a personal fan of Kvyat obviously)
