It seems Lawson will get another race or two at least. This could be a plus or a minus for him, we shall see. Personally I'm fine with Lawson keeping the seat, but I also think RB wants to see if RIC has it or not before the end of this season, then decide what to do longer-term in the off-season. ...
Jump to postGreat historic win by Max, first driver to win 10 races in a row. Amazing achievement. Mind you if Montoya had not run into the back of Schumacher in Monaco back in 2004 Schumacher might have won 13 races in a row that year. Another historic element to Max' victory is that he is the first driver to ...
Jump to postAnother superb weekend for Max, mastering all conditions. Competition is getting closer though, Marko correctly pointed out that Ferrari had excellent race pace on both compounds. Expected Perez to overtake both Ferraris when he switched to the mediums but he was never able to do so. Kudos to Lewis ...

Jump to postAnyway, Monaco was great with another masterclass from Max. One of the best qualifying sessions in F1 history with a brilliant last sector by Max. On Sunday he mastered all challenges, truly a joy to watch. Excellent results also for Alonso and a very 'appy Ocon. Verstappen himself said he was luck...

Jump to postSpeaking about the Indy500: also watched it last Sunday and IMHO Monaco was more exiting. Watched a 200 lap race which was effectively reduced to a 1 lap race. Newgarden won but that was because he was lucky to be on the right place at the right time. With all the yellow and red flags at the end it...
Jump to postAbsolutely superb race from Max. What a majestic performance especially on the hard tyres. That should bring Checo back to reality.
Jump to postMax had a superb season. Was on a different level to everyone else. Enjoyed every minute of it. Winning 15 races in a season with 2 technical DNFs is an amazing achievement. For sure he is going to be one of the legends of the sport.

So happy with Max as the amazing new world champion.
What a driver and fully deserves the title this year.
Hopefully more titles will come but his career is now already successful.
If the agency's creative briefing was to go for boring, lifeless and bland they absolutely nailed it.

Great drive by Max!! Faultless all weekend and a fully deserved victory after all the bad luck he has had. Also amazing to see that he is outqualifying Ricciardo, who is widely seen as a qualifying expert, by such a wide margin (11-4). This win will do wonders for Max to get rid of the frustration h...

Jump to postThe - 31% for Antalya really sticks out in a negative sense. Is that purely due to political events / situation in Turkey? Also interesting that traffic increased almost 9% at Moscow's Sheremetyevo Airport but decreased almost 7% at Domodedovo and even 11% at Vnukovo.

Amazing drive by Verstappen in the wet, deserves to be compared with the great masters (Schumacher at Barcelona '96, Senna at Donington '93).
Hamilton was faultless under pressure.
scbriml wrote:It would now take a cataclysmic change of fortune for Rosberg to lose the 2016 WDC.
Thought this year's WDC was done and dusted after Hamilton's recent results but Rosberg's spell of form has at least made it interesting again.
Jump to postNot a very interesting race but it does make the championship more interesting. Very poor starts by Hamilton and Verstappen. I love Monza and its history but that long straight in combination with DRS makes overtaking way too easy. Almost like a leisurely Sunday trip on the motorway, only thing miss...
Jump to postFirst corner crash was clearly Vettel's fault.
If a driver says "I arguably should have given a little bit more room" (Vettel post race interview) that's as close to an admission of guilt as you are likely going to get from an F1 driver.
We saw in the last race Verstappen moving twice under braking as Kimi tried to overtake him, resulting in Kimi losing his endplate. As always with Max, the stewards refuse to sanction his dangerous maneuvers and thus he keeps pulling them again and again. After the Monaco 2015 when Max escaped pena...

Jump to postMeanwhile a nice summary by respected F1 journalist Peter Windsor on the real big story of this Grand Prix.
Max makes F1 history
As usual Lauda nails it with his verdict that it was a boneheaded stupid move by Hamilton who was annoyed that Rosberg overtook him. Rosberg was entitled to defend his line.
[Edited 2016-05-15 12:37:08]
Historic race by Verstappen to become the youngest ever driver to win a F1 race and the first Dutch driver to do so. Superb achievement, particularly to stay so cool under the pressure from Raikkonen!
