I don't know what's going on with the BBC's post-race coverage but it's hilarious. They've waltzed into the Mercedes garage and already ruined RTL's live interview with Lauda.

e - Lauda just flipped off RTL :v:

You can put the pieces together. He also said he hopes the "project" will challenge Mercedes soon. McLaren are really the only option that fit what he said.

It's not the moaning it's the sullen silence and looking like someone just kicked his puppy. It's stretching it a bit to say that Lewis isn't a sore/poor loser when Lewis himself has admitted as such many many times and says he thinks it's partly what makes him a great driver.
Like all the greats, he's never going to dance around the paddock after a loss. When he's personally not been good enough or the car has clearly been off the pace, he's a no less graceful than anyone else. He only throws a wobbly when he feels the team have stupidly shot him in the foot (a common theme in his McLaren days) or there's been some other injustice than has denied him a fair shot (Monaco, Spa).

I really like Bottas, he's the typical polite, concise Finn, but not rude and "look how cool I am" like Kimi, and doesn't say "uhhhhhhhhhhhh" Like Mika

You gotta be kidding me. I thought the race started now. For some reason the F1 site didn't show local time for me like it usually does. Welp. :suicide:

For all the talk about double points doing Hamilton in, it ended up just making the final standing more accurately reflect the season.

I don't get the hate for the Turbo engines. Contrary to what seems to be the popular opinion I actually like the sound more, its more mechanical and varied as opposed to the scream of the V8s. Plus its a new emerging technology similar to how the original turbos were in the 80s.
