Nico Rosberg has secured his first ever Formula One race win in dominant fashion. While his closest competitors had trouble in the pits or abandoned, Nico stayed out of trouble and won the race comfortably. Jenson Button finished second, Lewis Hamilton third.
Yet SV achieved TW WC in a row with MW as a team mate....Vasco wrote:Traction wrote:Stunning race from Rosberg, well done on the win!
Solid by Button.
Great stuff from Webber
Superb fighting race by Vettel until the end when the tyres faded.
Hamilton ok shown again that JB is number one at Maclaren.
Webber showing that he should be no 1 at red bull...Vettel just does not have the skill for overtaking other cars.
How many cars did we see Vettel pass on track ? Did anyone take any notes?Giblet wrote:Vettel passed a lot of cars, but tried to make his tires last too long.
If he made another stop, he would have been around where he started. Solid race from him.
They get slaughtered at the straights. Quite a bit down on top speed.jamsbong wrote:Fantastic race - Rosberg! He is completely flawless today, and amazingly making the a two stop strategy to win.
Bad strategy for Raikkonen meant he didn't get any points, otherwise he should have been on the podium too. Same goes with Schumacher.
Clearly, RB8 is way behind Mclarens and both Webber and Vettel did well in damage control.
I suspect he only overtook Raikkonen, who had just gone over the cliff with his tyres. Other than that it was all down to pitstop strategy.NathanOlder wrote:How many cars did we see Vettel pass on track ?

He got past a Sauber early on as well when they ran wide (I think). Other than that I don't remember any replays showing him pulling of any overtakes. Indeed his race was pretty anonymous until the three stoppers suddenly dropped behind him and had to make their way through.Vasco wrote:I suspect he only overtook Raikkonen, who had just gone over the cliff with his tyres.

Yeah maybe, I think he overtook 1 or 2 in the first few laps, as he was back in 15th at the first sector on lap 1.Vasco wrote:I suspect he only overtook Raikkonen, who had just gone over the cliff with his tyres.

Yes this is true. However, they are not related in China at the speed trap.bhallg2k wrote:Problems with low-speed traction and poor top speed are problems confessed by the team. The quotes are everywhere.
