Well won. Calculated and without a hint of panic being less than a second in front for a good many laps. Great effort :thumbsup:

A very mature drive and a well-deserved win.

He got off to a really good start and then managed the tyres so well.

Once a few drops of rain fell and the track became moist in parts, his careful driving kept us on the edge of the seat.

It was a very good race indeed.

My only problem is that I don't really enjoy listening to David Croft's commentary hehe.

That was a really impressive drive that had me too on the edge of my seat. Dealing with the variable track conditions, Rosberg less than a second behind, tires starting to go off required monumental skill and concentration. I loved every minute of it!:thumbsup:
