Vettel, once again, was certainly in a world of his own.
After that really nice overtake of Rosberg on lap 30, it was a pity to see Webber
later come to grief on lap 36 with Van der Garde, running last and with blue flags
waving, turning in on him.
Up to then Webber had been closing in on Hamilton and just keeping Alonso out of the
DRS. The collision cost one second plus the damage to the wing, that, as Webber
later said, "when you're fighting for podiums and you're racing Fernando he's
obviously going to sniff out any damage on the car."
Van der Garde later apologized but has received a five place grid penalty for the
later collision with Hulkenberg who was also lapping him.
Ricciardo apparently had "tyre degradation and oversteer issues".
Massa must be running up quite a repair bill on the Ferrari. He slammed into
the barrier in Monaco in final practice, again during the race in Monaco and again
during the race in Montreal. I can imagine it must take a toll on the body as well.
Just as the neck and back are healing, wham, you start all over again.
Thank goodness for the HANS device.
