Nico rosberg still strong candidate world championship
nico rosberg only finish 2 and hamilton all race win, rosberg is win world championship

I just watched the replay.  Yeah after Austin I was expecting them to do well at Mexico, but no.  Button made the right decision to take a year off from McClaren.  They have become more incompetent as the years went by.

I think Vettel also needs a year off from F1 after his Ferrari contract expires.  His behavior is showing that he needs a break now more than ever.  It's really unbecoming of a 4 time world champion.

as expected, even in this Gp  first Hamilton and second Rosberg. The f1 is very repetitive

Yes, Hamilton and Rosberg this way gained advantage in 1st lap. So, why they didn't got penalty? And why Vettel got 10 sec penalty and Verstappen only 5 sec? Looks like Verstappen have protection from FIA. Remember, how many times he didn't get penalty after breaking rules.
I'm missing old times formula when drivers was able to fight for position. Now it become similar to simulator.

Agreed  they got punished for short track and Hamilton and Rosberg also take short track and they didn't got punished
I don't know what they do anymore

The best out of this race was this phrases between Alonso and his engineer. In case you haven't take notice of it I am bringing it here for you all to enjoy. Because Honda has been truly ridiculous in this race.

Engineer: Push hard now, it's time to push
Alonso: I am pushing hard, I think this car should not be in the race

I agree that Mclaren Honda deserve such bashing, but that's going too far from Alonso as he makes McLaren and Honda look ridiculous (they are) before of the fans, sponsors and by doing so he demotivates a lot the teams in Sakura and Woking which I think they are working hard.

This formula 1 is really ridicolus, the judges are incompetent and slow.
First, Verstapopen go to the podium, later 5 minutes, Vettel is on the podium and later 2 hour Vettel have 10 second of penality and Ricciardo is on the podium.
Like a football game, race get end with one result, and don't change more time, already for the betting

I think Mercedes (Hamilton) but i like bet to the first lap, for me Verstappen or Ricciardo overtake Hamilton in the start (with supersoft tyre). Now i search the best odds for Verstappen first later first lap

Who win the F1 Mexico Gp:


Lewis Hamilton @1.45
Nico Rosberg @3.75
Max Verstappen @11
Daniel Ricciardo @12
Sebastian Vettel @35
Kimi Raikkonen @40


I think that once again wins Hamilton, while Rosberg will be content with second place.

Yes Dovizioso won the Grand Prix at Sepang, and Rossi and Lorenzo followed. Maybe if Rossi had not made a mistake he could lead. In addition, many drivers who happen to be good luck for Lorenzo podium. Yes in the last two races Marquez crashed in a row, but he still will be a World Champion for pointnya could not be pursued by Rossi.

Dovizioso won the Grand Prix at Sepang in Malaysia! This season there have been 9 different winners (Marquez, Rossi, Lorenzo, Pedrosa, Iannone, Miller, Vinales, Crutchlow, Dovizioso). Marquez won the championship just because it made less mistakes of his opponents and has  more continuity in the results

In the qualify another disaster of Ferrari and i don't think why, in the first 2 qualify have a good prestation, in the last only 6th and 7th (and another time Raikkonen more fast of Vettel).
Tomorrow i think the race can is nice, because the red bull are very fast and start with supersoft tyre

in the first day of pratice to Mexican Gp the surprise is Vettel first with Ferrari (but wuith more supersoft tyres).
for the pole position i think is only for Mercedes, but for tomorrow i hope in the battle Rosberg against red bull

We have another racing weekend motogp and formula1 DTM  finished last weekend  so only in formula is something to taje still champion is not certain  so i hope we will enjoy this weekend  races

this will take time but i think that Ferrari dont have time for this they will have to develop really good car for next season if they repeat another season like this it will be disaster for them i think from how look thinks
i just hope that next season will be more competitive that we have more then one team in position to win

Here's the Mexican Grand Prix time table.  If everything goes as expected we'll see Rosberg become and win the driver's championship.  No more excitement there unless we see the unexpected happen.  Conspiracy theories anyone?  

I'm actually more excited to watch McClaren now.  I hope Alonso and Button double finishes in the top 10 again.

I don't think only Ross Brawn  can resolve the problems of Ferrari, are really more and Ross later have sell the Brown gp to mercedes have more money and i don't think return to work in f1.
Ferrari request a designer like Aldo Costa, like Newey, not a responsable like Arrivabene o Mattiacci
