    Is Perez able to make it through that penultimate corner without locking up? <doh>

    That was a good feint by Button, prevented Vettel going in wide enough to take the place back on the exit.

    Hamilton weaving? They're very strict on that this year.

    Great move by Webber.

    Can't believe it's the last lap. That was ace.

    wow what a race, before anyone says anything hamilton made 1 change of direction to the inside and stayed there, great performance from rosberg, even with a perfect pit stop from jenson he wouldve still won

    Hamilton made one move. Initially moving left on the racing line, he then moves right to defend.

    For me the wrong action, only based on tyres falling off, thats not real racing, thats only a tyre managment game.
    In MotoGP for example tyres also play a role, but tyres can come back there, that would be ok, but in F1 its all over and out, see Kimi.

    What a dominant performance by Rosberg. Half a second in qualifying, 20 seconds in the race. Amazing.

    Great race for Williams, too, and Grosjean. Vettel did well to minimise the damage.

    I love these tyres. It hands control back to the driver instead of having it managed on the pit wall. <ok>

    Wow, what a race!

    Conratulations to Nico, was wondering if he had it in him. Well done too to The McLarens, Williams, Webber and Grosjean.

    On another note, how angry must Kimi and Perez be that they got screwed over by the split strategy? Massa too to an extent.

    The 2 stoppers were just lucky Raikkonen were there. The 3 stoppers deserved so much more than they got.

    Well done to Nico, bit gutted my each-way bets on Vettel/Webber fell through though! Grosjean p6, who would have thought it, and poor old Kimi not even finishing in the points!

    Well done Nico. I said yesterday that if Jenson can't win its always nice to see someone win their first.

    You have to wonder what would have happened without Michael and Jenson's pit stops, but in the end Nico probably would have had enough.
