I can't believe I never posted in this thread! Anyway... crazy stuff today. Russian Roulette's an accurate description for the tyre situation right now. What the hell?
Happy for Rosberg, he's a great driver (on par with his teammate) but damn Hamilton deserved to win this! My guess for the race was 1. Hamilton 2. Vettel 3. Rosberg and if it wasn't for the tyres and Vettel's gearbox I would've been spot on.
In the grand scheme of things Vettel is more than ever on the way to his fourth world championship. It's currently Red Bull > Mercedes > Ferrari > Lotus. Lotus is just bad when it comes to strategy and their budget is limited (which is going to show after the summer break) and Ferrari just can't keep up with Red Bull's pace - they're actually behind Mercedes right now. Alonso drove like a god last year (I'm not a fan but it's the truth) but this year his performance is more down to earth - not weaker than Vettel, Kimi, or Hamilton but "merely" on par. Mercedes could be a contender next year but they are still too inconsistent and their exclusion from the Young Drivers test will hurt them to some extend.
