    Nico lead only 35 seconds....he's probably singing along to music by Elton (John)

    Yep.....there's just no other answer!!!

    of course his tyres have done 21 laps....and will be getting hugely punished behind massa.

    Lewis can't overtake Massa!

    Nico would have flown past him IMO....he's driving so much better than Lewis so far. Lewis will be having kittens!

    Judging by his lap times, Elton appears to have settled for staying as is unless massa misses something, both have the same laps on the tyres

    Not gonna bother you're just baiting me. Unbelievable bad luck but he will need 6 or 7 1-2s ahead of Rosberg to catch him up again

    NBC is reporting the tray is damaged (from when the wing collapsed under the car) so the front downforce is compromised.

    Like I said all last year, all Nico had to do was get in front of everyone and the wins would come. Now he's doing it.....6 races in a row.

    Lewis crushed or still full of self belief?

    That would explain his crappy front tyre degradation.

    Nor me, just stating facts. The ferraris are damaged, Kimi probably more than vettel. That's it mate. I've actually been appreciating the new toil

    Tires can't last a decent stint, have to keep replacing and hope for grip.

    Nico says his car was the best balanced ever. Easy when you don't have to push.

    Good to see rosberg proving himself. His psyche must be improving all the time. Few more results like this and the mind games won't be an option for Elton, and he will be very tough to catch. Maybe Ferrari will end up inadvertently helping out though, if we could just get some clean starts. I think they have the speed to keep merc honest, if not beat them in a straight fight
