That was a long race, shame that Rosberg had these issues with his car, it would have been great to see them go wheel to wheel, congrats for Hamilton, he's now on the top of the championship.

Great race by top 3 guys, especially from Vettel, who was the only one to benefit and gain positions. Too bad Mercedes is so much faster.

@tgruener: Pitstop practice this morning done with Hamiltons car. Mercedes clueless how Rosbergs problem occurred over night.

Interesting!

Anthony Hamilton seemed to spend a lot of time in the Mercedes garage this weekend

Kvyat was heard on the radio saying " Oh my god, without the drink, I'm dying here! " . He had problem in the drink system and couldn't drink for the whole race.

Vettel had a broken monkey seat on the car at the end of the race. It is possible that shreds of Perez's front wing did it.
And he almost lost consciousness during the post race interviews due to dehydration.

I really thought that Hamilton was toast for a win today, because of that very long extended safety car period. Hammer Time seemed to really work for Lewis today after he applied it when the safety car finally pulled off of the track. Lewis drove at qualifying speeds to the end of the race, for a tremendous win, but more importantly eliminating a 22 point defecit, and taking the lead in the WDC.

I really hope that we see him, and Lewis's step mom attending every race for the rest of the season.

Though it was not as dull as last year's race, it was far from the most exciting one this season...
Hamilton's pace was crazy. I remember last year everyone was off their seats shouting bloody murder at Vettel for pulling a 2 seconds gap in a lap... Well, Hamilton beat even that!

Anyways, congrats to Hamilton for the win - he just planted another blow for Rosberg. The best driver for me was Pérez, he had some serious moves. But everyone did well in such conditions.

Hi

Yes, the Merc's advantage is too big. But at least we have the Lewis-Nico battle to look forward to every GP, not that I didn't enjoy F1 races in the past few years

Well anybody could make 2sec in one lap when you have brand new tyres, while others have 35laps on theirs..

Let's not forget Hammertime previously enabled Lewis to have brand new tires, with 9 laps to go, while others had 35 laps on theirs.
