If they say what happened to Rosberg please let me know.

Twitter says

Nico Rosberg pulls up and is out of the race! A puncture for the Mercedes driver. #skyf1

Thanks

Commentary mentioned a puncture i think?

Not a puncture, Brundle did say that, but clearly not and he went back on that.
He did have gearbox issues in was it fp or quali.

kimi does a 1:35, traffic?

 

[Flibster]

I can't see any reason why he would retire due to a puncture. He could get back to the pits and then continue.

More gearbox issues?

Exactly, you don't quit for puncture.
It's not a puncture, it was a Brundle speculation, then he saw the rear of the car and they started talking gearbox issues.

 

[Flibster]

Ouch. Huge lockup.

Well that ruined it.

Only person who still needs to run the other tyre type is Sutil in 4th.

He's only stopped once and hasn't run the option tyre.
