    At least you saw 13 laps of nothing happening instead of 53.

    Rosberg for clawing his way back to 2nd spot after he flat spotted his tires in turn 1. Incidentally, he is also voted Donkey of the race

    Watching from Lewis' in-car camera, he was not working very hard at all. He was coasting into the corners and moving his hands smoothly in one swoop with very little correction. That car was absolutely on rails, but that's easier to achieve when you are at 9/10ths instead of 10/10. I think Lewis just cruised the whole race. He may have pushed at one point, but from the in-car, it sure did not look like it. To me, it looked like he had an auto pilot.

    He may have won the race, but it looked way too easy. If I am Rosberg's engineer, I don't let him watch Hamilton's in car footage. It would be too disheartening to see how easy Lewis had it.
