He also had Kimi on the last lap but it looks like he tried to take Massa in front as well and out-braked himself

Verstappen really was impressive. Good to see Grosjean getting his form back too.

This is a bit sad:

He was the one who tried to sell shares in himself to fund his F1 career. Never really worked.

I can see the semi-closed bodywork currently being used in IndyCar being put under close scrutiny after Justin's accident. A spectator was injured earlier this year (St. Petersburg I think), also by flying debris.

It seems to me that the cars shed too many large chunks bodywork in accidents, creating a significant hazard.

Good result in terms of the championship. I'm still surprised Rosberg seemed so off his game after impressive form on Thursday and Friday. He will be happy with 2nd all things considered. Vettel throwing his toys out the pram was funny. He'd have been very smug had the 1 stop gamble paid off. It's a risk you take, sometimes you win, sometimes your rear tyres blows up in your face.

Very sad news to hear that Justin Wilson passed away. I had the pleasure of meeting him at Goodwood one year. He was a really nice guy who was happy to take a few minutes to chat to the fans. RIP.

Another yawn fest of an F1 race ... judging by the lack of comments here F1 needs a real shake up, so dull
