The best thing about the 1.6 turbo engines is that one day some one called Bazz from Essex will try to put one in his Saxo

1989 has one of the all-time great drives in the form of Mansell's win in Hungary.

Not a classic finisher, but it's pretty fair that Hamilton had an easy win because of a Rosberg mechanical failure, the only reason Rosberg was still in it was from Hamilton's car breaking more times. He was able to be a reasonably gracious loser and Hamilton wasn't unbearable in victory. I'll be pretty sad if this turns out to be Button's last F1 race, bit of a dull one for him to go out on (although at least better than Coulthard's!) Incidentally the only driver who gained a WDC place from double points was Perez, at the expense of Magnussen.

Are double points going to be a thing next year too, or is it a one time only deal?

What kind of idiot puts the final deciding double points race in a dry butthole of a "country". Oh, right. Cheers to Lewis, nice finish for Williams and I feel for Nico but props to him for not quitting. Phwoar that start by HAM though, amazing.

Scuttlebutt has it that if Lewis lost the WDC he was going to leave Mercedes, and Alonso would move there. That's why Alonso hasn't announced where he'll be next year and why McLaren won't make an announcement for a few days either. Now that Lewis did win, he'll stay at Mercedes and Alonso has to go to McLaren.

Ron said something cryptic this weekend about potentially a 4th driver being in the running as well. Brundle took that to mean that it's possible they think Alonso+Button is too expensive, but that maybe Magnussen hasn't done enough and they've got Stoffel Vandoorne eyeing up a place on the grid. EJ was hilarious today turning every subject, however unrelated, into talking about how McLaren should keep Button.

Read as "Alonso and Button is too expensive, but I'll look pretty stupid if I fire the driver who scored twice the number of points of the driver I kept on, so Vandoorne it is." I'd have put Vandoorne in the car for this year, to be honest; there wasn't much between the two of them in FR 3.5 last year, and it was Vandoorne's first year and Magnussen's second.

I guess there's a chance Honda are pushing for one of their Japanese drivers as well, but I can't imagine Ron would OK that for anything other than maybe a test driver role.

Supposedly its more Eric Boullier that keeps delaying it because he doesn't want to sign Button. Would make sense considering all the nonsense that went on when he was at Lotus.

if they sign alonso and button for 2015 they could conceivably have neither in 2016, on the off chance that they somehow produce a title-winning car. i don't think they want to be forced to sign two new drivers in 2016.
