GW Rosberg. A good race. A 6.0/10.

It was an interesting tactical race for the first half/two-thirds, but it became pretty clear how the race at the front would play out once Vettel made his final stop.

Still, got some good action in the midfield between the Red Bulls and Lotus'. Massive shame for Maldonado, who once again loses a good result, though at least I don't think it is as much his fault this time as it was in China. Felt a bit like a classic 80's race in some respects, to be honest.

Meh. Glad I missed it.
