The track is horrible, this was a race without racing.

I don't remember prior races, but this is my overwhelming feeling from this race. It didn't matter what Massa did, there was no way an overtake was happening simply because of race design.

I mean the only reason there was 'tension' was because it was hard to get up behind someone and overtake.

Ferrari still screwed up on strat though, should've pitted Vettel when Bottas just about hit traffic early on for the undertake.

Edit: Still, props to Bottas for a brilliant start and driving a great race.

Vettel was not going to overtake Bottas even with another 5 laps....this track is awful for overtaking (did we even see one during the race?) and the Mercedes was too quick in a straight line

Vettel really should have maintained the lead at the start

It has always sucked.

It doesn't matter who we are, what matters is our plan.
His translator is saying "well done". But Putin is actually saying "Finland's next".

I hope Valteri can build on this win. This is one of, if not, his favourite/best tracks historically so it was the perfect opportunity to win.

It really must be an odd feeling accepting a trophy and handshake from a man who dreams of conquering your country.

Great points haul for Force India. Damage limitation for Red Bull.
Now to get some post-race interviews from Hamilton...
