Shame though, the GP was his bday present but he can't make it. Agree though, probably not the day to see him!
Mercedes trying to ruin Roseberg's race by putting him on the primes already and not pitting straight away.
If he holds the pace he might yet jump Lewis at the end here, low fuel and option tyres. This could be Bahrain pt II
He isn't a proper German otherwise he would make sure his towel was on the pole position spot on the grid first..
