Give Nico credit. He has been faultless really so far. 2 wins and his best chance yet.

Indeed. Some people assume that Nico won "by default". But in reality both times he run a very good flawless race. Yesterday, he had a fantastic start, while Hamilton had a mediocre start. (Don't they get to practice this part a lot?) Anyway, Rosberg deserves big credit here.

Wow, A mclaren in the top ten. Vandoone is looking like a great hope for Mclaren in the near future. What a racer!

Wow.10, 20, or 30 years ago Ron Dennis probably wouldn't have believed that every top 10 finish is actually great. My view of McLaren-Honda these days is .. mediocre. Praying to win a point? Is this what McLaren was about?

A marathon win starts with a first step. Mclaren will rise again and fly their flags high. Just imagine where Jenson would have ended up if he didn't have his DNF. Possibly 6th or even 5th. It is looking good, something is beginning to work. Reliability is still an issue, but that Honda engine is showing some hairy chest now. The next evolution of this engine would certainly be there or there about the Ferrari.

Is it though?
