The amount of fuel and tyre saving Rosberg has to do is correlated to the distance he's to Hamilton.

- I hope now everyone learned how later pitstops work (in 2014 it was even more - tyres)?
- Rosberg on Raikkonen and Vettel were great. Then mercedes put him back of course with pitstop
- "brakes problems" = team orders by Merc :-)

Don't you think Nico was lucky that they favored him with an early pitstop? Imagine if they'd pulled Hamilton in first!

Not to mention HAM lost 1.2s with his pit stop.

Watch RAI in the last leg of the race. He's on the mediums now and keeping up nicely. If he's on the softs when HAM, ROS and VET are on the mediums, things may just get interesting.

So this race is all about whether Vettel can hold of Raikkonen at the end.

No, it's all about ROS having to get past VET again and again and again.

Depending on how wide the gap is, I don't think RAI will have trouble getting past VET.


On a different note, kudos to NBC Sports for their impeccable timing. They manage to go to commercials just before every overtake.

Great by Rosberg to not follow Vettel off track. You have no idea how easy it is to simply follow the guy ahead off track :)

Or not, third time lucky for Vettel. Deserved tbh. Worst driving in ages.

Nice of maldonado to stall his engine as he enter the pits.

Kimi might get 2nd, his engineer estimating kimi catching nico in about 5 laps. Interesting watching the vettel v bottas battle. Nico seems to be getting flustered by being told the gap to kimi!

I wonder if Vettel's car has issues again. Seeing how he cannot get by the Williams..... or maybe he was expecting to be further up the field and is unmotivated. Whatever it is, this is one of his weaker races after the very good qualifying yesterday

More like Kimi might pass Rosberg, hard to tell if that even will work out.
