Gonna be very hard for Lewis to make the podium. This track is hard to pass.

Hoping for rain and what did I say about the conspiracy with Hamilton's car blowing up randomly now?

Fastest in all 3 practice sessions. First lap in Q1 bam!! (not 100% sure if it was lap one but was very early)

Ferrari is a joke. If not for Alonso's professionalism, they'd be dropped from top team status.
Agreed. Alonso deserves a better team.

I can't wait to see how far he can get up the grid tomorrow.

What a race. Vettel must have went, "Holy, I didn't hit anything."

Riccardo got by Hamilton and Alonso, but yet Rosberg couldn't do the same and one was his teammate.

Maybe I missed it, but were Rosbergs tires just as fresh?

I feel like the mercs aren't braking as heavy, trying to manage the heat.

I believe so. At least much fresher than Alonso and Hamilton.

I was confused during the race.
Well not really but i thought it was funny how Rosberg kept crying about how Hamilton wouldn't let him by.
He was like a second behind.
Does he really expect Hamilton to slow down and let him go by?
Don't see what he was crying about.

Exactly. Theyre both fighting for the championship. Theres no way Hamilton is just going to let him by like that.

Best race so far this year! And Rosberg should of had no problem getting around Hamilton at the end he had everything going for him DRS, newer tiers, puting down better lap times (+4 sec fasters),could be wrong on the next 2 need go back and watch but I thought he was on a better tier compound and I believe Rosberg still had the ability to up the fuel rate mapping. In the end I'm happy Hamilton beat out Rosberg it will make for a better season.

For the last stint, Rosberg pitted on Lap 56 and I believe was on options. Alonso pitted on 38 and Hamilton on 39. Ricciardo pitted on 54!!!

That's still 14 laps on the softer tire. Probably having to push like hell to catch up he likely ruined them.

Daniel slightly fresher but also a bit better at just do ballsy passing trys just got it done.
