And I'll totally admit that I didn't think Ricardo had it in him. I based that purely on his TR stint. He's got more fight in him than everyone else on the grid.

He's not the fastest guy in a lap, but he loves passing and fighting it out. It's great.

I thought Nico was going to cry when he was standing out side of the car in the garage
That was a good race.
There was a ton a great battles through out the entire feild.
The stint after the saftey car by Hamilton was pretty fun to watch. If he was 2 seconds slower and he came out 4th I dont know if he would have been able to pull off the win.

That was an unnecessarily long safety car period. They kept running across the track grabbing one or two pieces then running back.

Crews in Asian countries are terrible. Just don't know what to do.

That long SC period was on purpose to keep the drama up. Had there been no SC or the SC be any shorter, Hamilton would have easily walked away with a win. Had it been longer, Hamilton's win would in some ways be in jeopardy...

Now, had it been Rosberg, would he have done the same as Hamilton? I would like to believe so because of Mercedes power and Mercedes team.

Where ever the SFF1 crew decides to watch the GP live for the Japanese GP, I will be there. The atmosphere is second to none than watching a GP in person.

I assume with all of the motorsports Japan has, they're probably pretty good.

Vettel got paid $31 million during his first year with RBR?

Good race though. Kinda sucks to see Rosberg retire with his steering wheel problems. But now Hamilton is leading!

Verne was going ape****!
