Sky isn't free.

I know, but I got to watch some of their broadcasts and can compare. They are way better, also better than Sky Germany.

 

[Zeknurn]

Are Sky F1's pit lane reporter(s) always this biased?

They're usually far worse.

Lol at hitting the sign.

Yeah we need a gif of that.



So this is a repeat of last year. Rosberg wins through drama and a backmarker gets its first points.

 

[Grikker]

No podium here....switched to soccer are you kidding me

 

[Norwegian Rudo]

Holy shit Hamilton is sore as fuck.

Strange, I don't remember him complaining when the team fucked Nico hard in Hungary last year....

 

[Staab]

Awkward..

 

[Omiee]

this shit is to funny lol. weve had some amazing drama filled F1 years from webber and vettel to lewis and nico now.

love F1!!!!

 

[massivekettle]

Strange, I don't remember him complaining when the team fucked Nico hard in Hungary last year....

Not even close.

 

[Aiii]

Miles and miles ahead of Dutch commentary and production, at least.

Was good to see Button gets points.

Blame the long SC period. It's on NBC's website.

 

[MrKaepora]

Well...I almost fell asleep during this race. Thank you Mercedes for this drama.

 

[Lach]

Oh some nice "Lewis" chants....

 

[Ryne]

Hamilton luck?

Wow, what a shitty mistake.

 

[Deadman]

Hamilton needs to learn to say no to pit instructions, it's cost him more than once during his career

 

[Kyougar]

lewis going home

 

[Aiii]

Strange, I don't remember him complaining when the team fucked Nico hard in Hungary last year....

So you're imagining he would be cheering and happy after this, come on, let's be reasonable.

 

[Norwegian Rudo]

Not even close.

No, Nico should have had first and ended fourth...

 

[Omiee]

lol lewis is like fuck this shit!!

 

[Massa]

That was nice of Ricciardo and Kvyat.

 

[massivekettle]

No, Nico should have had first and ended fourth...

Nico should not have had anything... he compromised his race with his inability to pass JEV. Stop with the revisionist history.

 

[mangochutney]

Did Vettel say "you should have won"? My stream got a bit choppy then.

Definitely sounded like he said 'won', or one, but volume too quiet here to hear the rest.

 

[theignoramus]

No, Nico should have had first and ended fourth...

Bullshit. He couldn't get past Vergne he had no business being in first place. Some of us actually watched that race.

 

[Ark]

No, Nico should have had first and ended fourth...

I swear to god, you can't seriously be this ignorant?

 

[DrM]

Mercedes is hiring! A place on the pit wall is empty

 

[Mohonky]

Wtf Australian coverage isnt showing interview, gone back to Channel 10, are you shitting me?

Is Mercedes running the fucking video control room aswell?

 

[Norwegian Rudo]

Nico should not have had anything... he compromised his race with his inability to pass JEV. Stop with the revisionist history.

So you're saying he wouldn't have been able to pass Lewis and Alonso despite catching them at something like 5 seconds a lap?

 

[massivekettle]

So you're saying he wouldn't have been able to pass Lewis and Alonso despite catching them at something like 5 seconds a lap?

He tried to pass and failed. What's your point?

 

[Aiii]

Class act, Lewis.

 

[Hasney]

Fair play to Lewis, he's not the whiner he used to be.

 

[Vivalaraza]

Lmao the way he just walked off :lol

 

[Mohonky]

So you're saying he wouldn't have been able to pass Lewis and Alonso despite catching them at something like 5 seconds a lap?

He couldn't overtake Hamilton and Hamilton said I will move aside if he can catch me but I'm going to be racing him at the end, so I'm not going to slow down and lose time either.

Hamilton was right.

Get over it.

 

[Norwegian Rudo]

He tried to pass and failed. What's your point?

He had one lap. If the team had been doing their job he would have had 4 or 5.

 

[Omiee]

lol vettel!!

 

[BearPawB]

Vettel is great

 

[Deadman]

Hahahahaha vettel

 

[Ark]

Class act, Lewis.

And by Rosberg, really impressed actually.

Vettel is hilarious

 

[Juicy Bob]

Hamilton handled that phenomenally well.

 

[TheLostBigBoss]

wtf, where can I watch the ending stuff, fucking NBC is showing soccer shit

 

[Zeknurn]

German Jesus is the best.

 

[jey_16]

bahaaa.....Seb is great

 

[PjotrStroganov]

Hammilton staying classy and getting respect for it from the prince.

 

[DieH@rd]

lol @ vettel

 

[paskowitz]

Meanwhile Vettel is like lolz.

 

[duckroll]

Rosberg is happy but almost looks embarrassed to be there as the winner, Hamilton is bitter as fuck, rightfully so, and Vettel is bouncing like a newborn baby thinking "LOL ALONSO MADE THE WORST CHOICE OF HIS CAREER YAY ME!!!!!!!!!!!"

 

[massivekettle]

Fair play to Lewis, he's not the whiner he used to be.

A lot of drivers would whine in this situation, and have whined for less.

Props to Rosberg to recognizing he was darn lucky.

 

[theignoramus]

Situations aren't even close to being comparable.

 

[dakun]

Fair play to Lewis, he's not the whiner he used to be.

He knows that without merc there wouldn't be a championship shot for him. His career didn't end up like Alonso and he can be happy with that.
Sucks for today but it's in no relation to the opportunity he gets with Mercedes

 

[Omiee]

Rosberg is happy but almost looks embarrassed to be there as the winner, Hamilton is bitter as fuck, rightfully so, and Vettel is bouncing like a newborn baby thinking "LOL ALONSO MADE THE WORST CHOICE OF HIS CAREER YAY ME!!!!!!!!!!!"

these were my thoughts exactly lol.

 

[aspiegamer]

US broadcast cut off at the top of the hour to, ironically, in their attempt to continue asserting themselves as the sports network of "international sport", show all the Premiere League games. Gonna have to catch this all later.

 

[McNum]

Well this was 60 laps of "Eh, alright I guess..." and then one onboard shot of "Wait... did his wheel just fall off? Oh my." and a big, but relatively safe crash later and it's all open again thanks to Hamilton's pit wall dozing off.

So, thank you Max Verstappen for making a dull race interesting. And, um, hope you're alright. That was almost a Looney Tunes caliber hit, burying the first third of the car in the wall like that. That had to hurt.

This was Hamilton and his team's race to lose... and they did. Someone is going to get in trouble over that.

By the way, was this the first Virtual Safety Car, or did I miss one earlier?
