Definitely, his car going up 2 gears on up shift, can't see him getting into the points. It's an electrical fault apparently, nothing wrong mechanically with the gearbox. Nice to see Seb pushing in 2nd but Hamilton is just managing the pace.

Yup. And the rear light is also flashing, so no ERS either.
I'd say if they can't fix it with a pit stop he can retire. No Chance in hell to score a Point.

If Rosberg's car is upshifting 2 gears but downshifting as normal then why is he not dropping down one gear each time he shifts up? Surely that would be preferable for some of the changes and keep him in a better power zone. I may be being very stupid though.

Unlucky for Rosberg. If his problems could've been solved it would've been very interesting watching him climb.

A shame for ROS, but he should be fortunate since he is still in the fight for WCC whereas if this happened to HAM he would be really screwed.

I don't get it, the pundits at NBC say the SC plays into the hands of RBR, but I'd have thought that it would benefit Ferrari more?
