What a race! Maybe normal service will be resumed next time, but what a race!
Bad luck on Hamilton and Rosberg, but not half as bad as poor Perez. He really didn't deserve to have Massa put him into the barriers like that after driving like a hero for 69 laps.
What did strike me was how hard it was for the Red Bull to get past the Mercedes engined cars, whether they were down on power or on worn out tyres. In a straight line the Mercedes power got them out of a hole time and again.
Yes MM, well done to Ricciardo and to Vettel too. If I'd outqualified and outraced my team mate and my team's strategy had brought me out behind him, I don't think I would have been as magnanimous.
Still, as Vettel was nearly collected by Massa as he went off, perhaps he was looking at the positives! Better third than a DNF.
