And here we go with this **** again.
edit
Forget it.
Moving on. Looks like Perez moved to the left in the last second, a bit like what Bruno Senna did to Michael at Spain a few years ago. Only Perez did it faster, sooner.
He didn't.
Mad skillz bro. 43 whole points? How the **** do you know for sure he was going to finish ahead of Rosberg?

True story, and a gift. And she was the hot receptionist in that weird Cornish doctor thing with Martin Clunes, wasn't she? Love that accent, "moiii luvverrrrr" On topic... erm... need to say something about the race....
Did we found out what happened to Maldozer? From the later pics of Grosjean's self-collapsing car I'm guessing it was a build issue?

The best race since Pirelli changed tire spec mid season LY, resulting in a Red Bull lockout Vettel borefest.
I thought Massa had a genuine shot at it, but he missed his opportunity to overtake Vettel when he spun the tires on the hairpin exit after establishing overlap. Of course, it ended in tears for him anyhow. But who knows what would have been if he'd gotten by Vettel there.
Also love the opportunity to watch my first live race of the year. 3 or 4 am just does not work for me on Sunday.
I know I'll have at least one more live race this year - I have turn 12 seats in Austin.

I don't
I almost never agree with Villeneuve, who thinks any slower driver should move out of the way. And i was never agree with Jacques Laffites who made TV comments before him. Prost replaced Villeneuve at Monaco because of him racing at Indianapolis, and unlike the other ones, he add pertinence to the comments. So i couldn't be more agree with you 
Edit: And Prost see this as a race incident

I'd ignore the lot of you but it's a big list to be honest. What gets me is that you're supposed to be the "professional" fans and I'm a fanboy. "Cutting the last corner at full speed".
@TenEightyOne
He didn't do it at full speed. He braked, he locked up, lost a bit of time there, THEN he had to cut the corner and gained an advantage. Cutting at full speed implies intent and a MASSIVE gain. Something like 2 or 3 seconds.Dude, he did. The advantage of such a technical sport is that we all have continuous access to the timing screens. You should have checked yours

He gained half a second on Lewis when he went off, and clicked the fastest lap of the race at that point. That's why he was investigated. It's possible it was a lucky accident. But the stewards gave him a stern warning for it.
Hamilton overtook Rosberg when their troubles began, and he was running faster before that. I doubt he would have come out ahead, though... since he was running more rear brake, he was always going to suffer more from the issues than Nico, who only had to adjust slightly and hadn't been pouring a lot of heat into those brakes before the failure.

Massa is having medical scans. I hope he is ok.
Edit: I think he is having scans because the g force sensor in his car has gone over the limit. He could have concussion.

Ricciardo: "Are the drivers OK, the crash?"
His Race Engineer : "I'll let you know in a minute, mate, they're still in the cars."
What a class act. Genuinely glad this guy won the race 👍.

Great race.
Good job from Nico for staying in the race and doing so well with an issue meaning he had 160 bhp less. Great job from Ricciardo for his first win. Shame about Massa and Perez as I thought they both drove well up until the crash. Great drive from Button at the end as well.

Yes. Maldonado had a bit of car cut off as well. Probably a bad build problem

Good race actually. I liked Perez and Massa but they both made a mistake and crashed, which was a shame.
Rosberg made an excellent race with all the problems and Hamilton got struck with bad luck again.
Button was lost throughout the race and somehow finished forth after passing a few cars.

Button did get in a few scraps, did a few overtakes...had a hard time doing some of them... but he stayed out of trouble and kept his nose in it.
Worrying for Ferrari that McLaren finishes ahead of them... given how bad McLaren's season is... but considering McLaren were absolutely nowhere compared to Williams (bar Bottas, who had no tires left by the end), I guess it'll still be status quo when we get back to tracks that don't reward big power.

Wow, what a race. Can we have problems for Mercedes at every race in the future? Without that we were heading for more of the same, a comfortable 1-2. Shame we lost Lewis entirely but it made for a good race, certainly. Not often you're wishing there was another 10 laps.
PS you guy should probably ignore him if you're arguing with who I assume you are. I can't see him, thankfully.

Hmm? He gained an advantage, but he didn't go "full speed", and it certainly wasn't deliberate.He made a gain of 0.6 seconds, that's OVER full speed for that corner. As I say, refer to your lap-on-lap times and see what'sa what
Lewis got DRS again within a lap. Couldn't get the job, still.
Both of them could hardly walk, and there aren't updates yet. Maybe it was just the adrenaline.
