What a drive from Vettel, amazing!!! Great recovery! :)
Also, thrilling end of the race.
Mercedes is just too dominant, more than RB ever was.

We've now had a full year with only 3 drivers having won a race. First time since the 80s that's happened.

Ferrari disgust me more and more as every race goes by. He's not happy and rightly so. He would've easily beaten Alonso if they were on the same strategy. I wonder if the race being in Spain has anything to do with it...

When the sun will rise from the West then Rosberg will try one, he is not the kind of driver Vettel and Hamilton are.
By the way, with this kind of dominance Mercedes shows, any retirement from their drivers will cost them very dearly.
Who would have thought that a driver who won 4 out of 5 races leads only by 3 points from the second one instead of cruising for the championship.

How do you figure that?
They're already 2 wins clear of the rest of the field.
Or by 'they' do you mean everyone else?

They are both cruising for the championship. It's just a question of which one will get it. But it's likely to be Hamilton imo. Rosberg looks psychologically beaten to me.

I'm sorry, I didn't make myself clear. By saying "will cost them dearly" I meant regarding the championship battle these two have. No one else can challenge them, at least with the present status quo.

I think its unfair to say that Rosberg doesn't give it a lunge, you only have to look back to Bahrain to see that he's not afraid to throw his car at Lewis.

Where I think he's lacking is his mental game, off and on track. He doesn't seem to have that spare mental capacity during the race, the capacity to know how things will unfold during the race, to get the race craft right instead of trying the same move over and over again.

He hasn't had enough experience in race-winning situations, but all the greats have hit the ground running in these sort of scenarios, which is why I've always been skeptical about him.
