First race I've watched this season, albeit on replay, but I liked the look of Verstappen above all else. Some real talent there.

Hamilton's a bit of a dick as well though.

Hamilton may be a dick but he doesn't sulk and make excuses about other drivers when he doesn't get his own way.

Memo to Rosberg : become a better driver.

Hamilton does like a little whinge from time to time.

Moldanado had an absolute stinker today.

If Vettel did half the things that Hamilton does people would be having a fit.

Hamilton is a tit and always has been, hence why the British public haven't taken to him that much. But he's a better driver than Rosberg.

Agree with GG again.

The point isn't about Hamilton, which we've discovered is a dick too. Rosberg though is a petulant c***, no?

To be fair, most top drivers are. I think you probably need that selfishness and arrogance to get to the top.

Rather than just accept he lost the Malaysian Grand Prix, Hamilton instead whinged about his team and tyres.

Are we really having this discussion? Rosberg has complained non-stop for the past what? 3 months of racing season, because Hamilton is quicker and better.

If it's not the way Hamilton is driving its the team, always. We're fully aware that Hamilton criticises his team down to failures/tyres but Rosberg is on a different level.

I agree Rosberg is worse and just needs to accept Hamilton is a far superior driver but you said Hamilton isn't petulant when he has shown on more than one occasion that he can be.

Most drivers are the same though to be honest.

Just read it back, you didn't.

Sorry mate, misinterpreted your post about Rosberg being petulant.

To be fair on Hamilton, the commentary teams also stated the team had cost him with strategy that weekend and Lewis was aware of this and stated it to them on track, Lewis knows his stuff at same time as been a quality racer !

I don't doubt that Mercedes got their tactics wrong that day but rather than just accepting it and moving on, Hamilton preferred to publicly whinge about a couple of different things.

As I say, it's not a slight on him as all drivers are pretty much the same.

And I can't disagree that Rosberg is the worst for it, you can clearly see on his face every time he goes up to the podium that he is unhappy.

Another P1 for Hamilton then.

If Rosberg can't even beat Hamilton in qualifying then he's got no chance on race days. He'll probably complain that Lewis was driving too fast this week.

Alonso isn't doing badly though.

Ferrari competitive again but there were a few errors and drama.

There've been so many driver errors this race, Vettel got himself off the podium and Rosberg let's Kimi in at second.

I think it was Ricciardo's car that started to blow smoke on the final straight to the finish, just barely crossing the finish line.

Red Bull aren't doing well at all, getting beaten by their junior team week in week out.

Rosberg gets the better of Hamilton who had to rely on a change of strategy to beat Vettel.

I can't remember an F1 season where I've had less interest. Watched the first lap this afternoon and turned it off.

Well that was pretty boring again.

F1 really is in dire straits, although the corners aren't bad ;)

No mishaps for Lewis and nothing from Ferrari.

Canada can be a decent entertaining race but besides Vettel and Massa coming through not much happened.

One of the worst seasons I can remember. We're 7 races in and not one decent race and I can't see it changing.

A very boring race on one of the more exciting tracks. Says a lot about F1 these days. Terrible.

First race I've watched all the way through this season...even the over-taking was boring, DRS down that back-straight is just pointless. Also finding it increasingly horrible watching two great drivers in Alonso and Button suffer with an awful car - just not right.

Highlight of my race was getting to hear Will Stephens speak, seems like a nice bloke. But yeah, one of my favourite tracks and it was basically scalectrix.

Is F1 experiencing massive viewer turnoff over the last couple of seasons?

I'm the same as the comments above in that I've gone from the races forming part of my weekend to forgetting to checking the results on Sunday evening to completely forgetting about it till Monday.
