Hamilton so lucky he's got that mercedes, otherwise he gets eaten by the field in seconds. Average. It doesn't matter how much you screw up yourself, car will ultimately carry you to the podium.

Ferrari have to make those chances count. If not for the stop, I think they would have had it, but getting the strategy wrong + reliability issues can't happen in a winning position if they're to have any chance of fighting Mercedes this year.

Shame, because I think it would have been more interesting if not for the crash, but there ya go. Still a better race than i think many were predicting.

For the forseeable future, the ideal race strategy is SS M S, turns out the medium tire was good, just like I said hundreds of times.

Ferrari botched it. Track position is king, especially with these new FW

Rosberg won the race over Hamilton at the start, fair and square, well done to him. Too bad Ferrari fvcked Vettel in the pits twice.

Keeping Vettel on used SS was a terrible decision, things were going well for them before the Alonso incident.

Great result for Grosjean and Haas!!!!
