@LTU_btc. There is a conspiracy against Max hehehe. Kimi himself has said in a post race interview that he had no idea why Max was punished. Or it might only be another instance of wrong decision making by the race stewards.
Redbull should still be proud. Max is an amazing driver.

I think that's it - Hamilton increased his lead by 7 points and only races left. I don't have idea what should happen that Vettel would win championship.
And Mercedes today officially won constructors cup.
Amazing performance by Verstappen - started from P16 and finished in 3rd position. But he was punished for leaving track when overtaking Kimi. Strange decision, because on that turn many drivers left track and nobody was punished. And I'm sad for Ricciardo that he stopped so early due to engine problems.
Alonso didn't finished again after usual engine problems. Well, 3 races for Alonso left to struggle with Honda engine. Let's hope that Renault will bring something better.

Looking good for Hamilton. This is part of the season that gets boring. We already know who's gonna win both the driver's and constructor's championship.
Notice how the sports media hypes the last couple of races by saying Vettel is 'still mathematically in the championship'. Pffft, please...
formula one always boring, because every season always dominate one team
in 5 year mecedes dominate, nothing team can compete with mercedes,

@cicciobtc. Lewis does not need to put more pressure on himself by wanting to try to win the world championship in this gp. He knows this is his year and nothing can change that. Sebastian however, will need a mountainous measure of luck to turn this around. The real pressure is on him.

There are just 4 more races to go guys. Too bad Ferrari faded at the middle of their campaign. I was expecting a hard fought battle between Vettel and Hamilton. It would have made a good start to F1 post Ecclestone era. But it ended up more of the same.

Hamilton can mathematically win the world championship this week if:
-he wins the race and Vettel is seventh or worse.
-It comes second, Vettel is ninth or worse, Bottas doesn't win the race.

What a Race that was, Dovizioso Conquer Marc Marquez at the last turn, the last lap is a very great lap. Although the track is wet, but these two riders show a very large passion, congratulations to Dovizioso who greatly took Motegi. Unfortunately, Valentino Rossi can not do much, it seems this will be the last season for him.
Marquez did a small mistake on the last lap, he might be the winner if he did not do it. Overall it was very great race although all riders could not show their best speed because of the wet condition. This result makes the competition becomes more interesting as Dovi still have a great chance to win the Championship title.
So exciting to watch races like this, much more than four wheels competitions.
Well, you do not have to be surprised at Marc Marquez's madness on the circuit because if he's been riding his bike he's turned into a madman. We are used to seeing the madness of Marc Marquez during the race, in the present era he is the most desperate racer. He always forced himself when trying to fight with other riders in front of him like no thought of the risks that can happen.
October 16, 2017, 03:03:40 AM
Beautiful race today and a great win from Dovizioso and now agains Marqez only 11 points difference. The last races will definitely be very beautiful to watch. The odd on Dovi today were big enough although I didn't bet as I feared Marqez would have win here also. Next week we go in F1 Austin ,Texas which will be a good race to watch although the title in F1 has been already decided I believe. I don't believe in miracles and in a come back from Vettel.
about MOTOGP in 2 race austalian granprix and malaysian , dovi must finish above marques, and point must leading
because last race in aragon spain, marques strong, if dovi want win world championship 2 race must good performance and finish must above marques
F1 hamilton unstopable to world championship
October 15, 2017, 12:56:39 PM
To be honest this was best race this season Marquez made maybe crucial mistake this season in last lap but he tried to make it in last corner but with no success, great for championship that dovi made win. Yamaha again was disappointing but they are bad on wet and ran conditions.
