Heck yeah!

Nico... such a :superghey: but I'm happy to see him win. Things are looking good for Mercedes!!! Very happy. :tup:

Most exciting race in many years. :tup: :tup:

Feel so bad for Schumacher, it could be a 1-2 for Mercedes otherwise....

And Raikkonen, I think he broke the record of losing the most places in a single lap...... :eekdance:

Yeah things really got fun from p2 on back at the end. That's what happens when everyone is on tires that have fallen off like crazy. C'mon Pirelli... make it happen! They should slide around like that every lap.

The tires are more like an on/off switch, it's either slot car or rally. The last 8-10 laps was somehow scary cos you never know will Nico lost the tires, you know, Mercedes...

They did really well on tires this race. They figured something out that's for sure.

I never thought Rosberg would win one... ever. I bet Keke's a proud papa.

Looks like Merc has the edge on RB for the moment. If Schumi finishes, it's probably a top 4 sweep :eek:

Just finished watching the race... Wow.. I was so suprised how close and paired up all the teams were. Kobayashi..wth happened?? Started up so high & then iceman at the end... Perez is impressing me more and more, but yup I didnt think Rosberg would hold onto pole position the entire time.

but perez' attempt to block kobi was not cool at all.

how 'bout schumi being a great sport about rosberg's win at the end? he seemed genuinely happy for rosberg. that shows a lot of class. no hate like vettel's been showing last few races.

Yowsers. I'm just now watching the race. And they say there's no passing in F1. Wild race.

What have I been saying forever? When they adopt the NASCAR system of super soft tires that give up very quickly THERE WILL BE LOTS OF PASSING!

There needs to be ONE tire. And it should be SUPER SOFT. If it gives up after a handful of laps the drivers have to work very hard not to wear them out too quickly. Get them sliding around a bit and you have great racing like we saw in China. :tup:
