Really happy for Force India
I mean lap 52, stupid fat fingers!
Gave it a 6, was much better than last years race.
After Nico’s retirement, first was already decided. Some really good action in the midfield with some nice overtakes, best of which was Bottas on Perez.
My driver of the race would’ve been Sainz had he been able to finish in the points. But for me it goes to Perez, drove a faultless race, but notable mention goes to Pastor, he didn’t hit anyone and brought it home in 8th and also the McHonda duo for the teams second double points score of the season.
Bone head of the race can only go to one man, and that’s goes to Kimi. How the hell he thought he was going to make the pass coming from that far is beyond belief.
Edit comment:
After Kimi’s penalty, only one McHonda scored points today, and that was Jenson. Alonso won’t be pleased with that. Kimi getting a little bit of revenge on the samurai…😉😉😉
You do realise Alonso got a 5 second penalty, that’s why he is now 11th. Nothing to do with Kimi…
Only saw it after I posted the comment..
gave it a 5, better than last year, crashes were the big excitement.
Anyone know what “Mode 1” on the Williams is? Is that Quali-mode where they leave the waste-gate open?
My recording had no sound. Still, I managed to stay awake. It was fairly funny to watch, although I like proper racing more then stupid crashes.

Didn’t watch it live. But was really entertaint. Gave it a 7. Much better than last year’s.
I voted “What race?” Tomorrow I’ll let it play on iPlayer as a slight distraction whilst I sort out my untidy sock drawer. I wonder which team’s car came first?
I voted “What race?”. Tomorrow I may watch it on iPlayer. Or I may tidy up my sock drawer.
Not a bad race all in all, spot of battling throughout the field. Probably in the 6-7 region, unless a certain someone winning causes you serious discomfort. Could have been a cracker had Rosberg lasted the race, that was a bit of a shame.
Best Russian Gp in a century
