Nice win for Rosberg. Turns out he can still do it.

And a very nice podium for Bottas after a string of bad luck.

I honestly think we would see more of this Rosberg if he could handle the pressure better.

 

[LicenceToK1ll]

What a snooze fest. This needed rain so bad and a more lucky Vettel

 

[Ce-Lin]

nice one Nico ! ándale ándaleeee a festejar !

 

[hamchan]

Congrats to Rosberg. Nice bounce back after last week.

 

[Orbis]

Well deserved by Rosberg, he was on top all weekend. Disappointing circuit really though.

 

[Aiii]

Verstappen with his fifth points finish in a row, can we table this myth that despite the huge points gap, Sainz is "ahead of him in race finishes"?

 

[NewDust]

Maldonado's best consecutive points streak ended. It's stands at a whopping 3 races.

 

[Cheeseman Battitude]

With crowds like this and two Mexican drivers next year I can see Mexico sticking around as a venue.

 

[nny]

Neat place to park.

 

[Line_HTX]

Mercedes is pretty good.

Ehh, this race wasn't spectacular.

Yhis venue is huge competition to COTA, so good for them.

 

[ElTorro]

Really curious to hear what Ferrari has to say about Vettel's race. If the car didn't have some sort of brake or grip issue, then Seb might have had a few secret Tequillas with his buddy Kimi before the race.

 

[brotkasten]

As he should, considering he's been gifted by the team several times this season.

So that's why Ferrari and Mercedes want him over Sainz?

 

[dakun]

Last time both ferrari had a dnf (or crashed out) was Australia 2006 with Scbumi and Massa. (according to sky Germany)

Crazy

 

[nature boy]

Let's see how butthurt Lewis is.

So that's why Ferrari and Mercedes want him over Sainz?

If you believe the ballwashing Dutch media, I guess so.

 

[Line_HTX]

Rosberg brofisting the camera.

:Jnc

 

[Danielsan]

Incredibly boring race, outside of Kimi once again confirming that he should just leave F1, and Vettel having an awful race.

Sucks for Max that he made a mistake which lost him P8, but points are points, and once again better than Sainz.

The two Mercs were so on par this race. Glimmers of hope of a battle. Whenever one of them put in a quick lap the other responded, and the gap was only at its highest after pit stops due to the undercut being so strong (and even then I think 3.5 seconds was the highest). Circulating at a gap of sub-2 seconds most of the race.

Rosberg brofisting the camera.

:Jnc

Got me hyped for Need for Speed.

 

[gutterboy44]

Awesomen setup for the fans.

 

[brotkasten]

If you believe the ballwashing Dutch media, I guess so.

Sky does the same, apparently.

 

[Jezbollah]

They have Pirelli Sombreros

[TCRS]

oh well. happy for rosberg.

 

[Lemonte]

lol nico leaving his helmet in the car

 

[John_B]

Let's see how butthurt Lewis is.

From his perspective Mercedes changed his strategy to fit Rosberg's. It could have been a way different race had he stayed out longer to end his last stint on softs.

Oh my... Wouldn't that be something, haha

Looking at that final crash he definitely looked like he wanted out.

 

[Juicy Bob]

This is brilliant.

The race wasn't the best ever, but this event has been a fantastic breath of fresh air to the calendar. Great addition to the championship.

Viva Mexico.

 

[brotkasten]

Heh.

 

[nny]

Racing just for collecting different hats...Steam has ruined everything ;P

We don't know whether Nico could've gone to the end.

 

[Jezbollah]

GO ON LEWIS.

Chuck your hat at Nico

It'll be like Kung Lao out of Mortal Kombat.

It would have been way more interesting (even if just for the drama and mind games), but as soon as the SC came out it would have been a guaranteed Rosberg win regardless due to his newer rubber.

Will be cancelled in two years when Bernie gets bored with it.

Ok to be fair this was a huge success compared to India, South Korea, Turkey and the likes

 

[Line_HTX]

Love the celebrations here.

 

[brotkasten]

I hope the track stays for a while, just for the atmosphere.

 

[Aiii]

Nico not getting booed, that sure is new.

 

[Zaru]

The "ole ole ole ole, nicooo, nicooo" really makes this podium scenery special. Dat stadium atmosphere.

 

[Line_HTX]

Magnifico!

 

[dakun]

Must feel good for Nico to be cheered like this for a change.

 

[nature boy]

It's certainly a better venue than South Korea or Baku, let's see how the attendance holds up next year.

 

[Psychotext]

I hope the track stays for a while, just for the atmosphere.

Issue is that as soon as the track rubbers in each time it's going to be a snooze fest.

 

[Juicy Bob]

Dawwwwwwwwww.

Love Mexico <33333333333333333

 

[Souldestroyer Reborn]

Would be funny if theirs shouting Checo and not Nico ;_;

 

[thenexus6]

Lol @ the drivers randomly saying a few words in Spanish for the crowds

Viva Mexico !!! Gracis!! Si... burrito!!

 

[Aiii]

VIVA AMERIC... MEXICO.

Well that was smart, Mansell.

 

[skynidas]

Lol @ the drivers randomly saying a few words in Spanish for the crowds

Viva Mexico !!! Gracis!! Si... burrito!!

Rosberg can speak Spanish, the dude knows a lot of it. So it wasn't like that at all.

 

[Line_HTX]

This Mexican crowd is awesome. I want to see this venue again next year.

 

[Mobius 1]

GO ON LEWIS.

Chuck your hat at Nico

It'll be like Kung Lao out of Mortal Kombat.

Oh man I was thinking the same thing.
