So thunder and lightning in Austin have put paid to much of the practice sessions. A bit of rain on Saturday and Sunday might spice things up a bit this weekend.
So even if Lewis doesn't pick up the crown this weekend, it's only a matter of time.
But that doesn't stop the die hard fans like me. Come on F1, give us a good race!
 
Looks like Vettel is going to serve a 10 place grid penalty.
Should we just give Lewis the title now?

Was there ever any doubt at any point this season? Haha. No contest. Hope they do something to F1 for 2016. I barely make it through the races anymore. Maybe rain will spice it up but Mercedes powered cars should steal the top 5 in Austin.

Ferrari have done an upgrade for more power apparently. We will see.

Well in the UK I only get a rerun at 9:45 tonight. But in the US it will kick off at lunchtime I assume.
I'll be watching it live in sky sports f1 hahaha

Well enjoy. Actually a rerun this evening suits my day better. I love F1, but with 20 odd races a season mid day Saturday and Sunday really eats into your weekends.
Well this race probably doesn't count so much since quali starts at 7pm for us in the UK, but I get what you mean (and also I still prefer the beeb coverage) :)
 
I have sky sports too but can't stand Martin Brundle so tend to watch the BBC. The rugby is on this afternoon too so F1 loses out for me lol.

Haha Martin is quite annoying. If I can find the BBC feed, I prefer that one. Like everyone else said, mid-day Saturday eats into my day. If I'm around and remember, I'll catch it!

Overall a great racing experience. Great win for Hamilton, but I was thrilled with Seb's performance from starting 13th. Also overjoyed for Rossi, who got strong support from his home crowd.

Great race today. Definitely the most entertaining this year. The footage of Rosberg and Hamilton throwing hats to one another post race was awesome.

Well done Lewis. This seasons title never really looked in doubt, but only because he has dominated the grid. Yes he has the best car, but so does his team mate. He's just made better use of it on Saturday and Sunday.
With Ferrari making progress, I'm hopeful next year will be a closer championship.
 
The hat throwing was amusing. Nico completely missed the fact Lewis was passing it to him like he had to Vettel and made himself look a little silly. All good fun though lol. :)
Yep exactly, the press have missed it too and blown it out of proportion saying its was a nose rubbing excersize by Hamilton which it most defiantly was not. Nico needs to grow up i think. Sore loser was an understatement.

The media do love a good spin. I don't read stories like that any more because it's creating gossip rather than reporting what's important. We all saw the little incident and it was simply a misunderstanding as far as I am concerned. Nico probably sees it differently now the adrenaline has gone. :)

It was great. I was really happy they continued to show the feed in this era of political correctness on TV. I would have liked to see Nico's toss back to have some anger or determination in it. Instead, it seemed like the toss was what a 5 year old does when he doesn't get his way - then an hour later he's happy and jolly again.
