My take away from a very messy race is simply;

Good for Sauber!

Vettel!!!! Just when I was starting to lose faith in him, he puts up a great drive for Ferrari.

Vettels win was impressive but I have to give a lot of credit to Kimi having his tire blow right after the pits, doing a lap on three tires, and still finishing 4th.

I can't imagine both Hamilton and Rosberg being with Mercedes next year.

I feel like Hamilton got lucky in qualifying today. Rosberg choked away poll.

Would have been interesting to be the room with Hamilton and Toto Wolff after the race.

They're lucky he already signed that extension.

Yeah!
I would imagine Nico is gone after this season,

Its been interesting that nearly everyone has already decided that Bottas will be the second Mercedes driver next season?

For all this talk about which Toro Rosso driver will get Kvyats seat next season with Red Bull;
Maybe Horner and Co should consider trying to add an experienced driver beside Riccardo who is only 25 for goodness sake!

Maybe Jenson Button or Kimi if Ferrari doesn't pick up his option?

If they do drop Kvyat Verstappen will be next up, another year with Toro probably wouldn't be the worst thing for him but I doubt he'll have troubles driving with the big boy team.

Red Bull's got much bigger issues than figuring out their driver situation though, they got power unit issues that needs attention asap. Renault's clearly not capable of giving building them a competitive or reliable power unit under the new regulations but it's also clear that it's very tough to win consistently in F1 if your not directly attached to your engine manufacturer. Going to be interesting to see what happens with them and Renault.

Anyone watching the race now? I'm a big Ferrari fan and we're sitting in 3rd and 4th at the moment, so that's a good position to be in to make a push later in the race.

Grosjean had a pretty gnarly crash earlier, but is reportedly fine.

So Rosberg huh.

Ferrari is looking fast....
I guess we find out Sunday if Merc has been sandbagging during testing.

Bottas Winning? or Alonso not losing his mind?

Bottas win. He really showed he can fight for the championship. He went to school in my hometown, so there's a bit more emotion because of it

Cheers to Haas for having a competitive car on a shoe string budget
