Formula One victory for Nico Rosberg, gambling on a two-stop strategy and managing to hold off the rest of the field on worn tires. The first Mercedes victory in 57 years.
Rosberg, who also captured his first pole on Saturday, finished 20.6 seconds ahead of McLaren driver Jenson Button.
Lewis Hamilton of McLaren was third, followed by the Red Bull duo of Mark Webber and Sebastian Vettel in fourth and fifth. Hamilton said at the beginning of the season that his plan was to be on the podium in every race. So far that has worked for him and he is in the points lead.
Thirty years ago, Rosberg's father, Keke, won the World Championship with how many races? Just ONE......could it happen again? I don't think so, but I think that everyone was happy to see Rosberg get this one. He has paid his 'dues'...so to speak.
