vettel shows who's boss on this track. Mercedes gets destroyed as soon as an engine is not worth 0.5s advantage over the rest. good.
Jeez how you guys thoroughly embarass yourselves in public like this is beyond me. Showing childish 'beef'. Have you seen the Mercs in the race now? In the wet (not about engine power). Have you seen the Merc in the same race in the dry on race pace. Pulling away and leaving an absolutely beastly Redbull this weekend in same race you say they don't have .5 engine advantage. But yes their one lap pace wasn't there yesterday
I clicked the username and it's a common theme. Nothings changed, so no point arguing.
It's amusing that the Merc pulling away from the Red Bull was put down as "nothing" though.

Let's all take a laugh at Ferrari fanboys... 2010 to 2013 asking for free engines choice because they "are the best engines makers", and now crying for a Formula One based engine...

Massa penalty for hitting tyres under safety car, like vettel? Looked identical...
Identical ? At least you bring something to the forum. Good old fashioned comedy

You assume that a similar DNF can't/won't happen to Hamilton...the season has lots of races left.

Start crash or not i really think Hamilton would have won this anyway with that great start and his great pace throughout the race! But we will never know...

Christian Horner said something about seeing a couple of issues - that's the only thing that makes any sense to me; I thought Ricciardo would be all over him and he's absolutely nowhere.
Gearbox issue apparently. That would reason enough for his relative lack of pace.

He now has a DNF in his pocket. This was THE Ferrari track too.

Only an absolute idiot doesn't know the Mercedes is a great car. So is the Ferrari. Even the Ferrari engine is great. Something did not go right for them in Monza.

I'm just glad after a few walk over seasons we're getting real competition, however you guys try to frame it. And because of the tight competition nobody can dominate EVERY track.

And who really cares anyway where your speed comes from? Only on this forum they run a downforce championship. You want to be WORLD CHAMPION you have to make a great car and chassis. That's the standard that is set now. It's not magic, it's engineering.

Now try to stop being silly. If you can manage it.

AND I feel bad Vettel crashed out. It would have been epic to see Lewis behind him in this race and in the conditions. Would have made for great viewing
The Mercedes ran less fuel for the race, that's why they had better race pace than the Red Bulls.

- Perfect :D , Vettel buried himself and this season with a little help from poor start by Verstappen.

- He should get a grid penalty for a stupid chop, collision and taking out 2+ cars.

- Rain, 3 x safety cars and still a boring race with no one competing

Fair dues to Mercedes and Hamilton because they did everything just right but it was a gift from the others.

Such things are championships decided by and it's one of those things - turning point in the championship and something Vettel will probably look back on at the end of his career.

If you look massa was looking in his right mirror trying to find Stoff but at that time stoff came round the outside and passed massa. Vettel on Ham was all intentional. Move on please.

In other news: I fell asleep for the last 15 minutes or so of the race - don't think I've ever done that before!
