Daniel Ricciardo has done it again, three wins this
season. A win in a race that saw many changes in all positions. If the race had
been two laps longer the results would have been different. Second went to Nico
Rosberg who was clipping two seconds a lap off of Ricciardo’s lead, two more
laps would have done it. Vallerti Bottas came in third for another podium
finish. He is having a good season and will be one to watch in the future.
Biggest disappointment of the day was that Rosberg
bumped his teammate, Hamilton, giving him a flat tire which cost him any good
position and he retired in the end. The story goes that Rosberg did it on
purpose. Whoa! This isn’t NASCAR where a bump and a smack can go unnoticed.
This is open-wheel where such a stunt could have fatal results. My
disappointment comes from the fact that I like Rosberg and this will cost him
the respect that he has worked so hard for.
