All we are missing is Eddie Jordan giving one of the drivers a friggin' rose or something...
BMWs are fun in the snow too...
Seriously cannot stand that guy.
Congrats to Bottas.
I think the best part of the race was Kimi on team radio wondering how he got passed by Bottas.
As soon as Rose walked out I automatically and audibly groaned.
Was happy for Bottas and looking forward to his future races. He seems to have a no BS attitude. I love the Finnish, so legit.
Kimi likes to keep it short and simple when he's asked questions. He doesn't like to go into detail like Vettel does (or used to) about what happened, how was the race, what did he think of this or that, blah blah blah ..... He's the sort of guy that doesn't really give a damn, is least interested about worldly affairs, or what others have to say about him. He's only focused on the job, get in the car, race, get out, and then disappear. I guess people kind of like his odd nature.
Bottas and Hamilton take points off each other all season, Vettel wins WDC, Mercedes takes constructors.

A few things:
I don't understand why people get upset when lap traffic messes with a battle. News flash, guys: that's part of the game. You can't work through traffic, you have a skill to work on. I hate the blue flag rule and especially the whining about people not leaping out of the way when the leaders come up behind them. Dumb.
Most of the race was kinda boring, although I liked the tension re: Ferrari's later pit stop and whether or not the race would come to Vettel at the end. I was very happy for Bottas, and especially happy to see he objectively outclassed Hamilton all weekend.
The crowds seem to enjoy the podium interviews. The closed-door ones were always dull, and when they aren't being led by Eddie Jordan the podium ones usually go pretty well. (There's some European show host who does some, and he's not great either).
Not sure why you guys have the SkySports crew so much. I only watch the race broadcasts, but they do a good job of being excited and adding good information throughout. The NBC broadcast is a lot more lethargic overall, although I like Hobbs and Matchett generally.

You don't remember the Trulli Train caused by Petrov that caught Alonso out - costing him WDC? That we have a name for it: Trulli Train.
You don't think that the cars are difficult to follow? Even far superior cars find it almost impossible to overtake.
If the cars were easier to pass then I'd say do away with the blue flags but they aren't easy to pass. They aren't even easy to drive behind within a second. Have a look at the average gap in China. Even cars that were within a ten of a second in lap time cannot even drive within a second of the car in front.
I believe that if it wasn't for the blue flags people would get stuck for ever behind back markers. Imagine Alonso hanging at the back of the field, he knows he isn't going to score points, so he just drive a little defensively. They could literally block anyone from overtaking them. Team mates (who had a bad race) could fall back and totally change the outcome of the race by blocking for his teammate. I hate to say it but we need Blue Flags.
