      You must feel real heroic with such a comment. Real class.

   Don’t think it was a clutch issue this time, looked more like it was because of being off the racing line. So it’s fair to say Hamilton lost the race yesterday and not today. No excuses this time round. Will be interesting to follow Sky…

      @sravan-pe – David Coulthard on C4 said he was trying to avoid wheelspin but ended up bogging it down.

      I don’t think its a question of being off the line, as Ricciardo and both Ferraris went past him comfortably, so much so that they were having to use twitch reflexes to avoid Hamilton’s car.

      @sravan-pe – OK, Hamilton also said he made a poor start: https://www.racefans.net/2016/10/09/330230/

   Ferrai had the second best car this race, and even with Hamilton falling back to 8th at the start they still manage to miss a podium.

   They really should fire their strategists: they handed a place to Hamilton TWICE.

      @paeschli – well, Sebastian has now shown why he’s showing interest in areas outside his cockpit. They simply can’t be trusted. I look forward to Arrivabene’s comments in the post-race interviews.

         Seb isnt having the best season himself either, so he should focus on that first amd formost imho.

      Mostly agree, but this time the gaps were a significantly smaller than usual between teams. Look at the Quali first. It seems that the gaps kept in the race too. Look at ROS’ gap over the rest at the finish line. I know he coasted a lot, but I hardly believe he could have opened a 30-40s gap this time, like Mercedes did on most of their wins. Ferrari qualified well, but those 5-grid penalties were obviously bad news. Track position is quite important here, so giving up 5 places is a lot. Agree that Ferrari’ strategy is mediocre many times and they lost important points because of this.

      Yes please!

      I vote for Hulkenberg’s pass around the outside into the final chicane!

   With both Merc, Ferrari, FI and Williams drivers being only seconds from their teammate at the checkered flag, it surprises me how far RIC finished behind VES (30+ secs) today.

   They were both on a 2 stopper, no?
