Goes to Bottas. At least Hamilton kept him honest.

Interesting though if roles were reversed and bottas applied 50 laps of pressure on Hamilton that people would probably choose bottas over Hamilton too...

It has to be Mr Nice Guy: pole, win and fastest lap. I really rated him when he first came into F1, then felt disillusioned as he didn't seem to be cutting it, so now nice to see him rounding off the season like this.

Did Hamilton give him an easy time? No! They wouldn't have finished 20 seconds ahead of Vettel if they were going slowly.

Would Hamilton have passed him if the circumstances were different? If the track wasn't so difficult to pass, or the Mercedes was better at following closely, perhaps. But they were on this track, in this car, and Valtteri Bottas won.

Bottas.

Kudos to Sainz for not smashing into the wall in the pit exit tunnel when Renault failed to bolt his wheel on properly.

Nobody else really did much did they? Grosjean made a good pass on Stroll, Alonso put a move on Massa but that's about it. Hulkenburg may have got he 6th place but the penalty he got for passing Perez off track was a joke so he really shouldn't have finished 6th.

The Hulk. Bit naughty cutting the corner, but did exactly what Renault wanted by helping them to 6th in the title

The man whose name in Spanish means 'Boots'.

The boot was definitely on the other foot at Mercedes this weekend.

Agreed.

Massa out qualified Stroll 17 - 2.

Average qualifying position:

Massa 10.68
Stroll 14.9

Result: Fire Massa.

I thought that Hartley really excelled on the tight corners, he must have lubed up his axles nicely.
