    Can't believe that Vettel has not passed Bottas yet.

    I think it might end the way it is at the moment with Hamilton in 3rd.

    Live long and Prosper

    Peace and long life.

    If Hamilton was on the Ultras until the end; could he have won it then?

    Hamilton had to go for it. Fair play to him for trying to win it on this lap. Max is a different breed though!

    Kimi finally wins in a Ferrari again, fair play to him, did exactly what he needed to.

    Hamilton went for it at least against Max, championship lives on for another week. Some drive from Max as well.

    Great race! Great finish!

    Delighted for Kimi.

    Fun fact, the last win for Mika Hakkinen was the USGP in 2001.

    Maybe another last win for a Finn in the US?

    Kimi’s first win since Australia 2013. Still swearing on the radio.

    You don’t have to get out of bed for it.

    Kimi wins it. That was very well deserved. He also got a bit of respect there from Hamilton.

    Good stuff. Hope Hamilton takes it gracefully... the strategy not good for him today, delayed the stop too long. Toto looks a bit sheepish
    Well done Kimi

    His tyres were fresher than Max's, Max got him with an undercut earlier in the race

    Great race. Delighted for Kimi. Great racing by Verstappen too. Also, I was delighted to see Hamilton make a second stop. He is great to watch when he is pushing. Fair play to him for having a go at Verstappen too. Didn't work out, but he is always willing to have a shot.

    Hamilton looked like he had the pass made... maybe a bit cautious giving Max a wide berth and he drifted out wide

    Maybe it was tactics from Kimi all the time so he didn't have to give extended interviews

    I think thats where max has been clever to give himself a reputation as a bit of a wild man. No one takes a pass on him for granted

    Looks like he got on the dirt a bit when leaving Max racing room.

    I was referring to Bottas, in response to Harika mentioning his tyre degradation
