Mercedes. What the hell has happened to them? If you told someone who knew nothing about F1 that this team actually won a race, they'd call you a liar.
Mercedes not Schumacher, outperformed the car in Quali, had high tyre wear and pitted extra and still only a few positions behind average joe Rosberg. Okay?
High tyre wear and and an extra pitstop about more than 20 seconds lost. Didn't see Rosberg out-perform the car all week end, stop grasping on straws you idiot.
Mercedes for me, or I suppose you could say the Lotus pit crew for having a poor stop when Raikkonen could have jumped the Ferrari, but I don't think the stop was entirely their fault.
Lotus pit crew - Ferrari messed up their stop, giving Lotus a perfect oppurtunity to jump Alonso....and they fail Mercedes - When all other cars were easily able to one stop, this was really embarrassing for them Vettel - I don't know whether he was complaining about Karthikeyan or Hamilton's overtake, but all he did was prove Villenueve right Di Resta - off the pace all weekend, then locked up badly which forced him to make a second pitstop. He would have been last of the midfield if not for super high tyre wear on Mercedes. I nominate him for both a poor race and his ridiculous comments about how him and Hulk and equally matched as drivers.
Gotta be Mercedes. I've said already but I hope they gave up on this year a while back and are pouring all their resources into next year's car. Please!
They had a big package as late as Singapore, it was just awful. They were trialing the exhausts this weekend and while they managed to get Schumachers tyres switched on for qualy they then crucified them in the race and Rosbergs version was just plain slow. Not really acceptable for such a big team. Seeing a lot of Honda in them right now.
Mercedes are beyond a sham now, I will give Schumacher the benefit of doubt because of how good he was in qualifying but to be honest with you he did not cover himself in glory during the race
