Would've been nice for DC to at least finish the race but, as you say, WELL DONE LEWIS

I quite agree with you, it was the best race this season. I usually sit in for the beginning and end but this time I stayed glued to my seat for the whole race.

He is a lot better when he is running away at the front with marshals waving blue flags at the other car's .
A bit different to the last race where he started in 10th place it ain't so easy when the marshals ain't helping i am sorry but i do not rate him jacob marley

Sorry!! Blue flags are to warn tailenders to move out of the way???Surely this applies to all drivers.
Did you see the start Lewis was on a mission

i am sorry but can not agree with you but blue flags are to tell them to move out of the way .
They do not have them in american racing Nascar or Indy cars the drivers race for the place's .
I have given up on grand prix these there is far more enterainment in Moto Gp with mister Rossi and friends them bloke's race and they over take without nudging others a mans sport jacob marley

Mr HF works for one of the F1 teams.... he watches with one eye closed. If they crash his work load goes sky high!
We had F1 then Nascar, then Indy cars....fab weekend for us! off to goodwood next weekend

"i am sorry but i do not rate him"

He lapped everyone bar 2 other people. That doesn't happen very often in F1 these days, and clearly shows how close to the edge, without going over, he can drive a car. Massa in the Ferrari spun, I think, 5 times. That's going over the edge Massa said, of himself, at the end that he hadn't done a good job ...

Crashing into things and making elementary mistakes lets Lewis down.

"blue flags are to tell them to move out of the way "

Blue flags are only to tell someone being LAPPED to move out of the way, and are not used when fighting for a place.
