What's this angriness about Mercedes? The Germans win because the Germans are the best engineers and run the best teams and deserve to run the world. If only top German Super Seb drove for Mercedes and if only the car itself was built in Germany, no other team would ever win another race.

The germans employ cheating fat ugly british engineers who eat boiled horse meat sandwiches. Unlike the glorious Scuderia Ferrari who only employ hardworking honest Italian engineers who would never stoop so low to cheat.

Ferrari have never cheated, whereas almost every team that has had british involvement has been caught cheating.

I think Vettel got lucky they had a SC when he had to change his nose out. He's likely very close to a lap down if it wasn't for that.

For once Ferrari got a safety car strategy correct.

Seems like Vettel also caught up to the cars in front of him during the VSC, which I didn't think would be possible.

I thought he changed noses right after the SC, so it was maybe not as bad as it could've been, but still pretty bad compared to coming in right as the SC was deployed.

I was on a way too long flight a few weeks ago and they had the documentary The 24 Hour War on the plane, highly recommended. Lots of footage from those years, lots of interviews, etc. Only problem was that it ended and I still had 12 hours left :(

If Ferrari were a true Italian team there wouldn't even be a car just a half drawn rough figure of a car under some engineer's prosciutto roll while his mom is yelling at him to move out of the house he's 55 years old for god's sake!

I plowed through this over the weekend, it was pretty great! I wish they got more in to the cars themselves but I think it would lose some appeal to the general viewer. Anyone know when the F1 series is going to be done?

I like Max now. Having seen some behind the scenes sort of poo poo he's atually a pretty funny kid. Good on him.

Lance, though, is puss oozing out of a diabetic's necrotic foot hole smeared on the side of the Williams robbing Hulkenberg of his real home.
