Last Sunday's Russian F1 race was fun to watch. Sad that Rosberg was side-lined by a mechanical glitch; was hoping the battle between him and Hammy would continue till the last race. I'm not so comfortable about Kimi's penalty for the last lap incident. I feel it was a lot closer to a "racing incident" versus someone being at fault. As much as I like Bottas, his comments afterwards about not knowing where Kimi was before the apex don't ring true with me. He knew...... Plus, if they had to give Kimi some sort of reprimand, it should have been a grid penalty at the next race, versus handing the Constructor's Championship to Mercedes after everyone had left.

And is it only me....or is it a bit creepy that Putin was handing out the trophies? Hammy may have gotten a bit of champagne on Putin before Putin left the podium; he'll need to watch his back for a while. Pretty good birthday week for Putin I guess, including scoring 7 hockey goals on Wednesday. I hope Putin doesn't try to displace Kvyat in the car next year.
