An going to bed early and watching it live with live timing. I unfortunately predict a pretty boring race

Nothing boring about this race.

Hopefully one step better!

Glad I got up for it, crowd very happy, must be Aussie.

 

[JessicaTam]

Go Daniel, go!

 

[markis10]

Wow Wow Wow

 

[markis10]

Not the way he would have wanted it but well done.

 

[JessicaTam]

What a last lap!

Brilliant avoidance by Vettel.

Brilliant win.

 

[moa999]

Brilliant finish

 

[moa999]

Brilliant finish... Thought the lack of top speed may have cost them but a great move on Perez. Vettel very lucky at the end.

Wow what a finish!

Agreed. After looking at the replay Vettel was more lucky than akillful I think.

D day in Canada?

 

[hummel]

Stoked for Dan, have been following him for years and so happy for him.

Time to go back to bed for a couple of hours!!

What an excellent race! Well done Dan and a very lucky escape for Vettel, he won't be sending xmas cards to Perez this year. Did anyone else wonder Williams pitted Massa when the wheels began to fall off for Mercedes? I reckon if Massa had stayed out he would have won the race.

 

[moa999]

Think Massa's tyres were going - same problem Perez had - cruised up to the back of Rosberg but couldn't stay close in first two sectors.

Whilst the pass on Perez was awesome,
The difference for Riccardo in the end was the over cut at the second pit stop. Went from Bottas, Vettel, Ric to Ric, Vettel, Bottas over three laps swift no passing on track needed - Bottas and Vettel got stuck in traffic and gave Ric the room to close up to Hulkenburg before pitting

Yep - that pitstop for Riccardo worked out really well - I couldn't believe where he fed out onto the track after that one. Nice pass though.
