Great race, was nice to not have the Mercs running the show and see the others really race. Hamilton is going to have to find something that works soon. I felt the crash was more Rosberg's fault for closing the door so fast and extremely. Though looking at it, if Hamilton hadn't been hit he would have had to be on the brakes really hard to make the next corner. He probably couldn't have held the place.
Poor Ricardo. No luck. Max was very steady, he did well in qualifying Q2 and Q3, showed a consistency you usually only see in seasoned drivers.
Not a huge fan of the course, given the lack of passing locations, and I have to wonder if it would have been better if Pirelli had brought super softs instead of the hards. Would have given a chance for some big pushes when needed to make some passes on the guys on mediums.
Kimi is in second for points in the drivers championship, though I just don't think the Ferrari's have what it takes this year. I have no idea where Renault...errr. Tag Huer got the performance out of that engine, but good job. The Renault team cars are arse.
Really, Really looking forward to Monaco. Will be interesting to see how the ultra-soft's hold up.
