Lewis Hamilton has won the Japanese Grand Prix at Suzuka, taking the lead through the first corner to never give it away again. Nico Rosberg recovered from a difficult start back up to second while Sebastian Vettel finished third.
What? No way.matt_b wrote:Rosberg finally stops the rut after being out qualified 8 times in a row, unfortunately for him its a track that is good for overtaking.
Lewis was just saying it's hard to be within 2 seconds of the car in front and still make the stint length. This is probably the hardest circuit in terms of following another car...matt_b wrote:Rosberg finally stops the rut after being out qualified 8 times in a row, unfortunately for him its a track that is good for overtaking.
Drivers will just take the corner wider next time.Moose wrote:That was a great example of why tarmac run offs are a good idea right there.

It is a good example of how you teach a driver to be focused and respect track limits.Moose wrote:That was a great example of why tarmac run offs are a good idea right there.

Lowe said the engine was worth 3 tenths, so if that's to be believed then Rosberg wouldnt have been on pole. It's all just speculation and all we know is that Lewis has a stellar qualifying record so far this season.iotar__ wrote: - He was out-qualified by Mercedes engines in Monza.

- 'This is probably the hardest circuit in terms of following another car." That's why it was very fortunate it was raining in '14 wasn't it?
- Fiction of Red Bull's driver program continues. Let's put it into Maldonado bashing thread's top 15 worst driving examples of '15 (without Maldonado and with better cars).
- Grosjean outqualified 3 quicker cars this time (Kvyat, Sainz, Hulk).
Shame the car stopped itself.Jonnycraig wrote:Verstappen gets a 3 place penalty for stopping his car in a dangerous position.
