The battle between the Rb's and Mercs will be good today.
There wont be any battle with mercs and rb. Ros will jump both at start and then its business as usual.

Did anybody see the NBCSN post-qualifyng talk? Comedy gold.

"Nico Rosberg is still leading the WDC, but his teammate seems to have the momentum. Could he get that back?"

"Well, that depends on his intestinal fortitude."

With a straight face, I was in stitches!

I have this sneaking suspicion Fernando will jump both Nico and Seb before T1.

https://uk.eurosport.yahoo.com/news/for ... 6--f1.html
The delta on the dashboard is calculated by taking into account distance travelled and time in comparison to a reference lap. But as Rosberg had travelled 30 metres further on the lap in question than on the reference lap... the delta given was misleading even though the system was functioning correctly.
Rosberg: "coming out of the hairpin my time delta said to me that I was two-tenths slower than my reference time, which was the on I qualified on... ....I knew I braked a bit carefully, but I had lost eight-tenths looking at my dash, which was strange. It's so reliable normally that I believe it, and it was wrong. I was actually six-tenths up going into the last corner, so that was the problem... just take a risk at the last corner because I'm slower'. You might as well go for it and I spun.
? Explanation makes less sense than error itself. People complain about FIA/sensors and Pirelli when Mercedes can't even measure time properly.

I'm seeing an epic fight for second between red bulls, Alonso and Rosberg.
