It is the shortest lap of the season - 75 seconds odd.

Precession of a race though but Rosberg controlled the race as he should have done.

Like I said, definitely Abu Dhabi that will be the differentiator.

Which is interesting, because I like Vettel the person (more so since he joined Ferrari), but not Vettel the driver.

Don't think that's true. Not read anything about that anywhere. There was some article about how RB told the other teams to keep off him because he's on their payroll


I like how Hamilton was moaning about not being able to overtake whereas Verstappen showed nicely how that wasn't true...

I think you missed "according to E Jordan".

Brazil's got to be one of the easiest circuits to overtake. There's always loads of overtakes, nearly all in the same place, but still. Rosberg was just faster.

Ah yes, that's probably why I hadn't picked up on it yesterday when watching it because I never really listen to that what that man has to say

I wouldn't say Hamilton was moaning - he'd already mentioned it after qualifying - see my post above.

He's been pretty consistent about it, too - here are his comments from Japan: http://www.foxsports...hamilton-092615 and he also made similar comments in Mexico.

And again from Spain: http://www.nytimes.com/2015/05/11/sp...prix.html?_r=0

Of course, being a racing driver, he didn't mention it when it was him getting pole and winning races!

I know Hamilton was actually trying to get past (and couldn't) but surely there was some kind of team expectation to help Rosberg secure 2nd place in the championship. If Hamilton had come steaming through and touched wheels (as Verstappen did) but put Rosberg out with a puncture I'm sure it would have been frowned upon

Is Eddie Jordan on drugs all the time or just when the F1 season is in full swing?

Wonder what 2017 will bring, if the cars will boast even higher downforce.
Unless they bring back some serious venturi tunnels, it will probably be even more difficult to keep close to the car in front during technical sections.
