Best race of the year so far! It had great overtaking most without DRS which is very refreshing, good drama although rain was expected I didn't expect it to come as early as it did, Williams got to lead at the front and I actually had no idea who was going to win it was so unpredictable until the end of the race.
Nico Rosberg was about to catch Hamilton until divine intervention nullified his attack. Great pit decision but if it was purely on the track it looks like Nico was about to have him. Luckily for Lewis his pit team got him first on the podium and a win is a win and that's all the records will show and now the gap is up to 17 points between them.
I feel a little bit sorry for Williams, they deserved more from this race, Williams had a much better result in their hands. Too bad they were too scared to tell Felipe Massa that Valtteri Bottas was faster than him.
F1 Races between Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg are decided by 2 major factors: Pole positions and Pit stops calls! The driver who goes to the pit stop first wins the race, as it gives him a massive advantage. For example, had Rosberg been called first for the pit stop, he would have won the race. This championship will go to the wire, and it will be exciting if Williams can strike more fear in Mercedes' hearts to give us more drama and exciting races until the end of the 2015 season.
