To mess up a race completely and still extend your WDC lead?
Fell off the track. SC helped him, he hit Ricciardo and wasn't out of the race.
Do the drivers get penalty points for any of the infractions today, because Maldonaldo would be running close to a ban after that?
Yeah, he was lucky that despite all that, he still extended his lead!He hit Ricciardo because of a simple and small lock up.
The safety car helped Rosberg as much as it helped Lewis - Rosberg could have gone onto the option and won this race. Instead he was too conservative, and then he gave himself a puncture by not paying attention to where Ricciardo was.
This race had nothing to do with any sort of luck for Hamilton. They just both had a very poor race day.
Maldonado needs to be banned, fined, and given a few hours of community service after that display.
Yeah, he was lucky that despite all that, he still extended his lead!
Jesus, it's the German EJ. Nice shirt.
Rosberg expects to finish 2nd though.But then you could argue Rosberg was just as lucky that Hamilton didn't have a storming race and extend his lead even further
Need to start some Maldonado Rule Break Bingo next race.I'd love to be a fly on the wall at Maldonado's race de-briefs, if they even bother...
