Isn't that how it always goes? When your car is really fast - it's just about to blow up....I see this in Nascar all the time - guy running away from the field for 3/4 of the race, next thing you know he's killing mosquitoes in 4 counties.
Makes the championships a little more interesting at least, both the driver's and constructors although the constructors is pretty much over with. Wouldn't it be fun if the Mercs continue to have issues, allowing the Reds Bull to close in on them - keep the season interesting at least! Rosberg drove a good solid race to make it to the podium and salvage what he could after Vettel sent him spinning......
Yes Nico drove a good race. He drove his way to the front pretty easily, once he punted Kimi out of the way. I hate to see anyone have their car blow up especially while they are leading handly, but yes it did make the race more interesting. Wouldn't mind seeing Riccirdo win a few more & a nice DNF for Nico.
Nobody even talked about Bottas, he just quietly drove around all day to finish 5th, while Massa hung around the back all race. I think Massa's decision to retire is a good one.

Lewis is still the champion, but any more DNF's will see Nico on top. I think that is Nico's only chance.
