A great win from one of the greatest drivers to have ever lived. He made everyone (apart from Lewis Hamilton) look like an amateur failure today.

It's wonderful to see the sport dominated by the two most talented F1 drivers that have ever competed in this sport.

He said "Grazie, grazie, grazie" at the end of the race. That's enough Italian to get by I think.

Raikkonen drove well today, probably the best I've seen him look in a while.

4th place is pretty bad when your team mate drives flawlessly to first. He should quit now before he gets sacked.

Nope, he is just a bad driver. He can only beat F1 has-beens like Webber and Raikonnen, but completely melts down when facing a rising star like Are Dan.

False. Vettel let Dave Rickydingo win because 4 WDCs was enough for the cheats RedBull. Now Vettel has returned to his true form, that of a driving God.

If only he and Hamilton could both win this year's WDC then the world would be a better place

I was enjoying that story until "an apparently stung Rosberg shook his head and, despite the evidence, twice said: “That’s not funny.”"

What the hell???

Hill was so far from a national institution it's hilarious. He was a bland, mediocre test driver who only lucked into the title fight in 94 because of disgraceful FIA bias. If people think Vettel's championships are worthless because of the dominant car he drove then Hill's one championship in 1996 is even more worthless.

The only British people that saw him as a national institution were the fat, teamwear-wearing, bandwagon people who blindly support any British driver in the sport. The same mongs that cheered on Paul Di Resta, Ralph Firman and Allan McNish.

Pretty sure F1 needs to rebrand itself after "F1 race winner" Pastor Maldonado's showing this weekend. A few other thoughts from the race:

1. The Honda's seem to be getting less awful, I assume they're running closer to full power now.
2. Verstappen is looking pretty good so far, pretty poo poo luck up to this point, though.
3. Williams is as boring and effectively irrelevant as Red Bull is bad this year.
4. Jenson seems to be on the verge of laughing hysterically at all times whenever he is near a camera.

Verstappen is awesome. I was a huge fan of his dad in the 90s and am happy to continue the support.
