Firstly, quick mention to Kevin Magnussen, who has been demoted out of the points for pushing Alonso on the grass. Quite sad that it should end that way, as whilst Mags was indeed at fault, he gave a truly great performance otherwise that should have been rewarded with decent points. He needs the confidence boost, especially after that disastrous first corner at Hockenheim. He must be careful not to turn into Perez and get warned for dangerous on-track manoeuvres. I hope today doesn't harm his confidence again.
Secondly, and most obviously, the issues at Mercedes. If the claims by Lewis Hamilton are proven to be true, this is very serious depths Nico is venturing into. I thought initially it was a racing incident, but Mercedes (according to Will Buxton apparently) have confirmed Lewis Hamilton's remarks.
Personally, whilst I will always be a supporter of McLaren, I'm also putting my weight behind Lewis Hamilton for this championship. We've had some memorable on-track moments from the Merc boys, and I'm sure we'll have more, but after ALL that Lewis has been through this year, something in me suggests it is only right that Hamilton comes out victorious. I think we'd see a moment of serious emotions there.
