So for the fifth time in history the winner of the election did not win the popular vote.
Next year scrap the juries, bring back televoting 100%!!

Oh wait.

Just got back from nearly four months of travelling, I seem to have more of a culture shock coming back than I've ever had going away.

I've not seen it. I'm guessing there's a fox in it?

Zzzz... Congrats Nico. Wake me up when it's over.

Dreading next season. Basically going to be the same, but 4-5 seconds faster.

Sick of being told in the interwebs that I should want Lewis to be WDC cos he's British, innit - and all this twaddle about 'moral victor' 🙄

I personally think he's an arse, and it's lovely to find a little corner where I can say so 😁

But yeah Lisa, next year is going to be the same, there's precious few real personalities out there

I am a fan of Lewis, have been since his GP2 days, but yeah he's not covered himself in much glory this season. Nico's had his moments as well, but some of Lewis' behaviour has just been plain weird, almost breakdown-esque.

I'm also done with races being all but decided after the first corner. Thank god for Max and Daniel actually engaging in racing and overtaking and not just acting like it's a glorified test session in Barcelona...

I just don't see how things can improve next season. More downforce = more problems in turbulent air and overtaking. More life in the tyres = again more problems overtaking since the main bulk of rare overtakes that do happen come when the tyres start falling apart. I just miss the old days when racers actually raced instead of all this preservation crap.

My thoughts exactly! Add to this the oil-rich nations having the cash to hold races and the older, more impressive race circuits being kicked to the kerb, well - it's a very different sport to what it was at the turn of the century ...

Who's gonna win Verstappen of the Day?

Hamilton backing Rosberg up so that someone (or Max) could take Nico out? Surely not

So chuffed for Nico being able to wipe that smug look off Lewis's face! Incredible driver but God he's an arsehole!
