Congratulations to Rosberg and Mercedes - breakthrough win!

I am happy for him.

He drove well today and got that all important first win. Alot of people questioned him over the years, but remember how Button waited a long time with no win and then improved dramatically.

As for Mercedes, they have the potential to maintain this level, the car has great Quali pace and has shown today the race pace can be there as well, so I think Mercedes are certainly in the championship hunt.

Shame about Michael today, beacause although he appeared slower at the start, he still could have finished on the podium, but it all bodes well for the team.

Interesting to note that both Rosberg and Button achieved their maiden GP win in their 7th F1 season.

Well, at least one thing has been made clear - Rosberg won't be a new Heidfeld by having a long career, but never winning.

And this is very nice, because a dedicated driver deserves a victory IMO. And I hope that more will follow

In the past people said that you needed experience in F1 to win races, but then Hamilton shook everyone up by going straight into a front running car and winning, then Vettel winning so many races early on.

Then in the last 2 seasons we have seen more older drivers return due to limited testing.

Now its clear you don't need a young gun or an experienced driver as such, you just need a fast one.

It's taken a while for Nico but this was a thoroughly deserved win built on an outstanding pole position.

Faster than MS sadly, but hopefully things will be back to normal come Bahrain.

Nico ahead of MS in Q and Race is the normal. At least the statistics tells us so.

I think it's great when a driver newly becomes a GP winner - congratulations to Nico, and Keke must be very proud.

I can count myself as one of the doubters of Rosberg, and today's race has gone a way towards silencing the doubts. But just a way: I don't think he would have won had it not been for the pitlane problems of Button and possibly even Schumacher.

I wouldn't say I doubted Rosberg more that he wasn't the radar all all. Quite anonymous; until today.

I'm surprised that it's taken this long. From watching him (and liking him) in GP2, I was expecting the first victory to have come some time ago. But some of that I blame on poor strategy calls by Williams and not having "the car" later on. He (somehow) put on a brilliant qualifying performance and then followed it with a great, solid race drive. Great job, kid!!!
