My enjoyment of the race was frustrated by the highlights package.  Channel 4, like the BBC, try their best with them, but, for the European races, they don't have enough time, and have to chop too many laps out.  It really spoils things.

The first half of the race was very exciting as Ricciardo built up that massive lead before Rosberg let Hamilton by and battle commenced.  I think that Mercedes did pull off a great strategy for Hamilton, but even so Ricciardo would have still won had Red Bull not messed up so badly.  That's twice Ricciardo has lost through bad strategy or mistakes by the team, so no wonder he is frustrated.

Scott, you were spot on about Verstappen this weekend, congratulations to you :).  He was fast, but I think he was trying too hard and paid the price.  He wasn't the only one.  There were a lot of driver errors during the race, not least from both Sauber drivers, neither of whom covered themselves in glory for a team which cannot afford inter-team collisions.

Pérez was superb and I was delighted he held off Vettel for the final podium spot, and Alonso did very well to hold on to fifth and finish ahead of Rosberg, whose lack of pace was odd.  Even more strange was the fact that he couldn't hold off Hulkenburg on the last lap.

Hamilton made a massive inroad into Rosberg's lead as a result of the latter's rather lacklustre race.  The championship is most definitely back in the balance now.
