    13 seconds behind Ros, pressure ok.

    8 seconds behind Ros, pressure issue.

    13 seconds behind Ros, pressure stabilised. Pull the other one Merc you sport killers.

    Points are there for McHonda if they can finish, but Alonso in 6th is 80 (EIGHTY) seconds behind.

    I don't think they'll be jumping for joy.


    Button was very explicit in confirming that fuel saving is a big issue for them still. Big work required by Honda still.

    I'm sure Rosberg will run out of pins for his voodoo doll sooner or later.;)

    I dunno, he had to ease off, the more you push it the more likely something will break, if you stop redlining the equipment you lower pressure, and Rosberg had plenty in the tank.

    Graphic just showed Perez has only used Soft tyres. Is that right?

    Rosbergs car to fail scrutineering.... always the optimist :)

    Another good race from him, got off the start well and just did what he did. Hamilton and Kimi ended up as expected and the Williams managed to not mess it up. Top 5 as expected really.

    Feel for Vettel but like for Hamilton, these things just happen. Hopefully we'll get a clean race one day for the lot of them.

    Verstappen ruined the race by sensibly parking his car.
