It was great to see the old man get a good result, but there may have been more to it than pure driver ability.

What about the parc-ferme rules after qualifying?

Parc ferme ends at the start of the race. Ross Brawn's not ready for retirement yet! Shame we didn't get to see what Nico could have done with that advantage.

I remember, years ago, "contract time" being used as an explanation for a driver producing improved performances as the season reached its end.

Of course, I wouldn't suggest that this is the case with MS as he has a rock solid three year deal until the end of 2012.

Just reminded me, that's all :p

As AndyL says the rules end once the race starts. Usually no team would make such radical changes during the race as the time penalty would far far outweigh the potential gain. But when all your rivals have also stopped....

He still wouldn't have beaten Rosberg...

The way those Merc's were going those first few laps, Rosberg may have been able to get the win.

Quite pointless point. It seems unlikely, but you can never know.

Precisely, I remember in Shanghai, when Button was following Rosberg for 2nd, and I believe because of an driving error he gave that position to Button, so you never know until its over.

It is amusing to see that MS haters need to devalue even a 4th place finish. Chill out, guys! Michael is old, it is unlikely that he will cause you much pain in the future.
