Totally deserved, what a bad move by Rosberg

[langwadt]

Ham was on the outside but just turned into rosberg?

Rosberg didn't turn in at all he just kept going straight into Ham

[SunsAnvil]

RTL commenting that it was a bit disrespectful for Lewis to spin his cap around his finger during the German national anthem as far as I can tell

[GoranF1]

Is Alonso "dead"...has is time passed?

[foxmulder_ms]

Yep, Rosberg in trouble with stewards because of 2 problems...causing collusion and continuing with broken wing.


Also, those spectators are SOUR losers.

Well, he was trying to stop the car?

[SchuMassa]

So satisfying... BRAVO HAMILTON!!! That was an epic pass. 100% deserved!

100% deserved? Nico had the edge over him till the last 5 laps.

Too bad that the result when you cross the finishline is the one that counts

Don't be childish, noone stated the opposite.

[ripper]

I hope he had a brake problem, because what did on that turn is really rubbish

[Phil]

Hamilton lost more given how long they kept him put on the first stint.

Ps: i think Rosberg will have the team on his side. Unfortunately.

[diego.liv]

You guys should all apply for Chief of Tyre Management, even Manor (GJ Wehrlein!) won't accept your applications..Soft was the better one, at least on Hamilton

Possibly, he had a lot of brake dust coming out during the race!

His team mate had the outside of the corner which was the better line.
The clue was the great big silver thing to his left. Rosberg decided to ignore it.

Interestingly last year we were only 3 seconds off the actual proper lap record - I.e. The one set in the race.

On a short lap like this we probably won't see the same lap time improvement from last year we would at some circuits, but if this is a two stop with relatively close battles at the front and a reasonably late second stop, we could see them within a second I'd say.

This is kind of along the same lines as what I was saying:

[don't know why they bother with lowest lap times - depends entirely on length of lap]

Much more interesting for me though is the proper, in-race, lap record, which could potentially be in jeopardy given the resurfacing that I wasn't previously aware of.

Last year fastest lap was three seconds off pole, so if they can do a 1:05 in qualifying then Michael's 1:08.337 (which was done on very low fuel because of his refuelling issues/fire) could potentially be achievable.

Given the difference in refuelling it would be a heck of a thing to see the lap record go (albeit not running here in 2004 has made all the difference to the current record).

1 tenth off the lap record. I said it would be close.

(An entire conversation I had with myself )

[kaller]

Lauda says Nico had a problem with his breaks. So far he did not blame anybody of the two.

[SectorOne]

brake-by-wire failure for Rosberg on the pit straight.
