Massa could have won if they didn't pit him or made bottas let him pass.......

[CookinFlat6]

Even though Lewis going out was gut wrenching, I was cheering and screaming for Danny ricc. I mean this season has already produced the best F1 racing we have ever seen. Well done Danny! Well done useless Massa, Nico grabs 18 points and so is ahead 22 - big deal, 3 1-2s for Lewis to gain.

I wonder what Luca thinks of the spectacle ( apart from Kimis spectacle)

[LiamCatterson]

I was cheering like hell when Ricciardo passed Rosberg. I like Rosberg but Ricciardo is GOAT

[Big Azza]

To quote Mark Webber: "YES YES YES YEEEEEEES!!!! FJAHLALHSALJHLKJSAHDFLJHASLJHDF!!!!!!"

Compare that to Ricciardo - "Wow."

This is a massive moment for the championship. Had some luck but also some solid driving from Rosberg.

Gonna be hard for Hamilton to overcome that.

Really happy for Ricciardo, that win has been a wee while coming for him, and so pleased that the first Red Bull win this season is for him.

Really annoyed at Perez moving in the braking zone at the end, ruined both his and Massa's race after they both put in such hard work to get where they were.

[LiamCatterson]

I think Ricciardo was gobsmacked Azza. He just said he's in shock and to be honest, Ricciardo passed Rosberg with laps to go

[Big Azza]

I'm surprised I cheered - I thought I didn't like Ricciardo - but I guess I do!!!!

A bit of involuntary patriotism. Really want Vettel to be leading Ricciardo at the moment - he copped a bad strategy call from Red Bull. Ricciardo has been the ultimate benefactor.

Great to hear the Aussie anthem again in F1... Let's hope his time in the sport proves to be more successful than the previous Aussie.

I think Vettel was very gracious as well.

Solid driving from Rosberg? The guy was completely rattled with Lewis behind him, and again stayed ahead due to some serious luck'

As far as hard for Lewis to overcome, its only 3 wins in a row to claw back the deficit

It makes the title a lot more interesting anyway

I think that's unfair - I thought Rosberg's move at the start was disgraceful, and extending his lead by cutting the chicane was very poor, but the way he managed his car through what should have been a terminal problem for 30+ laps to only miss out on the win by a whisker was phenomenal. I really don't understand without bias how it can be viewed any other way...

But you have just confirmed that he was only in that position to nurse his car home ahead of ultimately slower cars because of at least 2 questionable plays - you called one disgraceful and the other poor

yet you dont understand how he cant be deemed to have driven a soild RACE (race is over 70 laps)

And you tallk about bias?

Are you serious?

[myownalias]

I am so incredibly happy for Daniel Ricciardo; he deserved a win especially after being stripped of second place in Australia.

Rosberg was really lucky to finish second, not just because of his power and brake issues, but also getting away with not only cutting the final chicane, but keeping his foot in to gain an advantage on Hamilton while setting a significantly faster lap time.

You do wear rosy Vettel glasses don't you.

Yes I'm serious. I'm completely unbiased. Two questionable moves at two corners over the course of a 70 lap race with 600+ corners does not equal a poor entire race. I'm going to repeat - Rosberg overall drove a VERY good race under tremendous pressure from BOTH mechanics and competitors.

[vaptin]

I think the first lap defence was harsh but fair, Lewis would probably have done the same I think, and I don't see it as too different to Bahrain etc.

Cutting the cichane, honestly I think he got away with that one, if he had made the corner I'm fairly sure he would have been passed.

Still, really tough on Marussia, I think Chilton's defensiveness spoke volumes, that'll teach Bianchi to score points

Ah so its a very good race now? downgraded from phenomenal? So its with the realms of reason to have another opinion that he was rattled earlier and was competent at the end and so overall not a solid race. Maybe one could even have this opinion without the bias you mentioned?
