About time that Hamilton's bad luck transferred to Rosberg.

Was a pretty good race. Williams is looking very strong, can't wait to see how they do in the rest of the season.

Rosberg's DNF means Hamilton fans won't be able to say "Oh Rosberg only got the title because Hamilton had bad luck". For that I'm grateful.
And you're right about Williams! Bottas's drive was epic. That bloke is a star.

Hamilton has still had more bad luck than Rosberg.

Not true. Rosberg was born with that face.

Montoya winning an Indy car race. Ah, the glory days of the sport are returning.

4. IndyCar: Um, if a car is illegal, it should be disqualified. Period. Even if he had tons of fuel left at the end, Huertas might have got to that point because he had long runs early in the race. An oversize fuel cell is an oversize fuel cell. An oversize rear wing is an oversize rear wing. He had both, and all he got was a paltry $10,000 fine. Not disqualifying him is like saying, “That’s okay Lance, I’m sure you didn’t mean to take those drugs.”

+1 - I'm a big fan of utter and complete disqualification for breaking rules, even if the result likely would have been the same.  How can you really be SURE that it would be?

In any event, I love your analogy!!!

F1 would be more exciting if it were more competitive. The best/richest teams win but Rosberg and Hamilton are podium hogs! Some teams will finish the season without a single point - could they not award 1 point for just finishing a race. Could new management level the playing field?
