Vettel's problems this season have been exacerbated by his unsporting behaviour.

 

Vettel, you reap what you sow.

 

I'll leave it at that!

 

Vettel just really has been poor since the summer, he crashed in Singapore, and crashed in Malaysia causing further issues to his car and title hopes. Hamilton on a different level

[Super_horns]

Pretty much title number 4 for Hamilton.

 

59 points ahead with 100 to go and I don't think he will have a Vettel/Ferrari type melt down.

Championship is ruined, shame

It was great until the summer break, since then a mix of Hamilton being ruthless and Vettel having a meltdown it's very quickly swung massively in Hamilton's direction. I'd say the first half of the year has made it a decent championship, they can't all go down to the last race or two.

I agree, it did have great potential but I think in reality it was done since Singapore unfortunately.

also, on a side note, still laughing at the people who thought Bottas would not only be a good replacement for Nico but a better one

He started reasonably well, but is another who's dropped off after the break. Just a solid driver though, nothing spectacular.

Hamilton’s got it in the bag. Congratulations Lewis. Shame for Vettel because you want a tight championship for tough racing between gladiators.

I don’t follow F1 that closely anymore and I don’t particularly like Hamilton. But his record is incredible really. 

To be fair, Hamilton, has matured in the last 2 yrs.Both he and Vettel have been jerks in the past, but both come over

as showing more respect, to others around them. Not forgetting any off cuff remarks get picked upon, positive

Or negative, alot more today...Like some old docu s show, Gentlemen in this highly dangerous sport depends on old

Journalists perspective at the time....Years ago we looked for heroes, today we make the hero, then  try to kick

the pedastels from under them...

. Vettel showing respect! Have you heard him over the radio this season screaming at other drivers like a petulant child? Did you not see him ramming Hamilton behind the safety car in a fit of anger?

If anything he's even worse this year.

[Nalis]

Think the reason Lewis Hamilton is dislikeable to some is not his superb driving ability but his personality, particularly as he comes off as really smug sometimes.

 

For example, the vegan diet he started and publicised by citing hard hitting environmental reasons. Bit hard to swallow when he drives a car for a living, takes countless flights around the world with his team doing so, etc...

[The Bear]

Yeah he can be quite preachy at times. At the other end of the spectrum he gets very sulky and moany when things don't go his way. He's been better this year but then again he hasn't had the pressure and in-house arguments due to his team-mate challenging him for the title.

[iamafox]

Wouldn't be surprised to see Palmer in Formula E soon, where some of the poor to average F1 drivers end up.

[The Bear]

Or Indy Car.

This driver introduction 

[Rocket-Ron]

WTF is going on? ?

[Facecloth]

"From Switzerland, multi podium winner, Frenchman Romain Grossjean." 

[VinceNoir]

Wtf is this shit? Did he say Dani ‘The Torpedo’ Kvyat?! Hardly a term of endearment ?

[iamafox]

Alonso has retired at the Indy 500 and USGP in the same year

[isaidno]

brilliant pass by Max. 

[StanSP]

superb from Verstappen going 16th to 3rd. 

[Super_horns]

Multi Champion of the future .

[isaidno]

 5 second penalty for Max 

[VinceNoir]

Gutted for max  F1 would be shit without him 

[Facecloth]

Had a feeling when I saw a replay of the pass that he might get punished for leaving the track. Don't agree with it, but thought it might happen.
