This looks like another dogfight between Rosberg and Hamilton as Mercedes is having a homecoming. Ricciardo is bringing in the third spot.

 

[Retroram52]

Hamilton wrecks during qualifying and Rosberg takes the pole.

[Retroram52]

Looks like Rosberg, Bottas, and Hamilton. Hamilton had a huge comeback after the wreck put him in the back of the field.

Absolutely stellar effort by Lewis.

And I don't care if Massa qualifies on pole and has a 2 second head start on the field. He is not finishing a race well this year. He just has no manner of luck at all.

Concur.

I suspect they thought a safety car was coming out for Sutil and they changed up their tires too early at the end, thinking they'd have a couple of slow laps.

He just didn't have enough left to get by Bottas.

And Ricciardo vs Alonso was pretty good TV.

Hey now!

 

[Hank Kingsley]

Hey now!

Yup.

 

[BoiseStateFan27]

I really don't get how the safety car didn't come out there

going without one was just far too risky, avoiding that situation was one of the main purposes of a safety car

 

[BoiseStateFan27]

the race was definitely an interesting one everywhere beyond the first two, battles all over the track, with Hamilton and Riccardo slicing through the field.

 

[Retroram52]

Hamilton did have a fast car and moved up through the field but fell a bit short to take third.
