    It could get interesting if Rosberg grabs the lead because Ham has looked quicker than him all weekend, so they'd have to make that decision when they go for the overtake- how far will they push one another?

    Ham tough to beat though either way. Some slight chances thunderstorm showers- that would be an intriguing spanner in the strategist works!

    So we are relying on Danny Ricc to make it close.

    If I hear on the radio "Okay Lewis, build a gap", I'm going back to bed

    That was a massive huna by Vettel. We should debate it for weeks! :p

    Well so far it's looking good for a race at the front.

    Depending on Rosberg's recovery drive, Vettel may have just decided the championship.

    Funny we didn't get any of Rosberg's team radio, I assume it was full of expletives.

    Rosberg was lucky to not get totally taken out there.

    Verstappen pitting in the VS car could be key here for an undercut when HAM/RIC stop if they get rid of this VSC quickly

    Could make things tricky for then end of the race with these early stops. Tricky can sometimes be interesting.

    Hamilton can't build a gap over Verstappen, I'd expect Max to take the lead in the next few laps.

    Whether Mercedes can do anything on strategy after that will be interesting, Red bull race pace was good in practice.
