Pretty stagnant race with no real tire strategy. Good thing it went the distance without the safety car because I probably would have fallen asleep.

Perelli's tire choice for this race wasn't the best they should have went with the super soft and the soft.

Glad to see HAM win again and helping clinch the constructors championship.

What a yawner of a race. Even if they had softer tires and more tire strategy, it'd still been boring. I really didn't care for the track either, felt like I was watching a auto-x on a flat parking lot. Doesn't help when you go from the awesome Suzuka track to this. I also had to LOL at Putin on the podium, what a attention whore.

My feeling is that LH will be the champion

He has the "eye of the tiger"

Nico does not, and that will be the difference

Agreed, but with stupid double points race coming up, anything could happen to erase and overcome the small lead Hamilton has built.

total snoozer.. there wasn't even good action on the back markers.

IMO, pirelli botched the tire selection. no way NR shoulda been able to set the fastest lap on his last lap with those tires.

Agree on the double points

What if the WC is decided because of DP ?

That will suck for the winner and runner up

Love the way Hamilton absolutely snubbed Putin in the back room of the podium. Just completely ignored him. Did they show it on the US broadcast?
