Formula One 2016

Red Bull one-two. Very good result for them. Good recovery from the back of the grid from Fernando Alonso.
Disaster for Lewis Hamilton. Wouldn't count him out yet but he is running out of races and points to get back in front.

I don't like that Max guy. Good he was kept behind.

Also, good to see Mark Webber.

Always a fan of him.

McH did a great job, both drives on the points.

Not sure what happened to Button as he was in front of Fernando the first part of the race. Strategy?!
