Surprised so many cars are still running

Strange as well that fastest lap was on lap 19 by Rosberg.
So they may have been in saving mode, to save fuel to go the distance?

Have Ferrari been told to talk in English on the radio? Last season Alonso's messages were in Italian!

I blame Bernie.

P1 Kevin is not new to racing cars, and for sure he's doing incredible, but everything did fall into place for him.

Bottas has twice raced through the pack to grab some great points and very exciting stuff too

I thought Ricciardo was meant to be struggling?

You can!

Just as Red Bull just picked up message from McL to Kevin to save fuel, enabling them to tell this to Ricci.

Indeed. I was questioning Red Bulls choice of him, but he certainly delivered in spades here today!

think Button backed off a while ago, I bet he's thinking about his engine for later down the road

Yes I questioned their choice also.

Ok it is his home race but he has been impressive all weekend

Is that going to be the formula fir this season?

Build up a lead, then go into fuel-saving mode?

Let's have fewer laps rather than fuel restrictions!
