Ohh the tension....Merc making Nico vulnerable by pitting Hamilton.....what was the gap Raikkonen vs Hamilton before the stop? And in comparison the gap between Rosberg and Ricciardo?

Great try from Red Bull but that Mercedes is still fast even on used soft tyres

What a race, that was thrilling to the end. Makes you wonder how it would have played out with Vettel in the lead pack. Hamilton was lucky to be third today, could easily have been sixth pace wise....

You are pushing your engine agenda yet again at a track with a 3 second straight.
That info is redundant at singapore, much like your agenda.

Must be a real bummer having it brought up so starkly... 0.5 second gap at a track Red Bull were meant to shine... and you point to... engines! Hahaha
Lul, like I've said renault was at fault RB is behind merc. So far you've the only one who said that. I've just said merc pu it's still by far the best. Bye.
What does Singapore teach us about Mercedes chassis?
So far, you wont say diddly squat about this instead of focusing on engines at singapore!

Whats this say for your analysis? :lol:

Classic Rosberg luck...no brake or tire problems...just one more lap and maybe we could have got a pass from Dani! There's no explanation to Rosberg's form this year! His luck is just unbelievable...it's got to be his year!

If I was a racing driver and I had an engineer that did that dog howl thing when I won a GP I'd have the tool moved on sharpish.

It's actually quite fair everybody is at maximum drag...


Somehow the race took a turn for the best after looking very boring for most of the night.

Great performance for Rosberg and Ricciardo.

I'm as big a Rosberg hater as any, but come on. He did an amazing job all weekend, and most definitely had brake issues just like Lewis. Luck had very little to do with his success lately.

Lap 8: Nico brake situation is very serious.

Have you REALLY watched the race?

Brilliant performance from Rosberg, managing all the pressure from Ricciardo. The fight for the champs is open once again.

So what? Did you see any drama? Instead he opened the gap further to Dani...Hamilton on the other hand had to slow down a lot! Ok the race picked up a bit at the end with all these pit stops but nothing changed in the end...Dani got close on the very last lap (not even in DRS range though) but there was no way he could have past Nico! So i don't see how the race was so good!

Maximum DF... but drag will be different across the board, especially with rake(ben, my apologies).
