Great race by Hamilton, but the star was Ricciardo.

And the enmity twixt Rosberg and Hamilton was almost palpable.

Eddie Jordan's question to Toto Wolff was bang-on the money; Rosberg's gaffs were just too obvious.

No way Rosberg did those errors on purpose, but I think he'd resigned himself to coming second this weekend.

It was slightly more convoluted than my paraphrasing here, but "Why did he make the mistake? Was that Nico's penalty for what happened in Spa?" Is the gist of it.

Eddie Jordan asking a convoluted question, who'd have thought it?

Does anyone really think Rosberg would have complied with such a request, even in the unlikely event it was actually made?

General consensus on Sky from Brundle, Hill and Herbert was that the pressure applied by Hamilton was a factor in the second Rosberg mistake.

Also worth noting that both Mercedes were struggling with high temperatures in their front brakes, so that might also have contributed (Hamilton had a huge lock up at the same corner late in the race).

Laughing at the conjecture about Rosberg deliberately making mistakes, as I predicted he took a beating from Hamilton.

Ricciardo is superb, and really is embarrassing Vettle which I find very amusing too, all the RBR fan boys singing how great Vettle was, can't hear them now though

If Mercedes finish 1-2 for all the remaining six races, Hamilton needs to win all except the last OR must win three plus the last, which is a double pointer. But Mercedes should be due another failure or a puncture or two

edit: I was right about corners 1/2 and the chicane, just didn't predict the exact plot line. Typical Germanic thoroughness for Rosberg to practice it before he did it in anger tho

Then the Russki showed us how to really do it - what a save
