Great race overall. Sucks that Hami got another mechanical failure. He drove his *** off and was able to recover some good points. Ricardo vs Alonso was awesome.
That was really some of the best wheel to wheel racing we've seen in a while. RIC/ALO was great, VET/ALO earlier. HAM had a nice run up through the field, if not for the issue passing BUT wonder if he could have gotten to ROS at the end.

+1

HAM's "I had no idea that switch even existed" after they told him "magic switch position 1" or something to that effect, made me chuckle.

Then within the last laps I was on the edge of my seat waiting for him to attack the Williams car and he just couldn't get it which tells you something about both the Williams car and Bottas' skills.

That was a great race overall.

I think if Hami didn't damage the wing, he would definitely got by bottas. But no rosberg though. Rosberg was probably on cruise after he got a good lead. If Hami got passed bottas, rosberg would push again.

I'd like to see one of the Williams win one this year, maybe one of the more power circuits like Spa or Monza. That Fin is fast... But who knows, Massa might not crash. Lol

Damn. Hami can't catch a break. Hope its a wet race so he has better chance to get some good points.

If it rains tomorrow, it'll really make for a good race.

WOW. what an epic race. everything came together for hami. thought he was going to win it at one point. Nico gets on radio and needs a point by from Hami, go back to HPDE2 son.

Ricardo wins starting behind Vettle. weird.

Um..yeah. Safety car that effectively screws current first through 4th (who were past the pit entrance when the safety care came out) including vettel and rosberg....wonder why they didn't finish in the top of the field. Daniel has gotten the best luck on strategy differences all season when Vettel hasn't broken down. It was Vettel last year doing it to Webber. Sometimes things just don't go as planned.
