Going to be Alo worst year in a long time in terms of WC standings. I really hope he can get 1 more. Same with Hamilton.

Overall, good race. But thoughts with Jules, his mark on the championship table is still evident ten races later.

Yeah apart from the condition that Jules has been left in, I thought it was a very exciting race. There were battles all up and down the field.
Thinking and praying for Jules tonight. Hopefully he’ll be okay.

Its a really good race as the backmarkers are quite competitive and exciting. but it began with poor showing and ended with tragic momment.

Awful race, no race start, two safety cars (The 1st one has no sense, if can not race do not start) two red flags, a quarter of The race following The safety car… And at The end a serious accident… Worse is impossible.

Yes, but at least the TV slots were filled at the right time. And that’s what matters apparently.

the only people who had an issue with the start time were the media and the teams. And it had nothing to do with safety. They were all concerned that they would be stuck in Japan during the Typhoon (which isn’t that big a deal for them), but it would delay them getting to Sochi.
Let’s say they start 2 hours earlier. Then the rain that came at the beginning of the race comes at the end. As Hamilton said after the race, he’s been in worse wet weather races. Brundle said as much afterwards as well.
F1 TV Journalists – trying to ask the “tough” questions and make all sorts of pronouncements. If there was no accident no one would be saying anything.

Always great when Nico and Lewis are actually able to race each other.

Mercedes have clinched the constructors’ championship, it seems to me.

Don’t forget the double points – even if you want to.
I’m not expecting four Red Bull 1-2s, though…
