Double DRS really made a difference there. I am sure after today the others will be working VERY hard to try and develop a similar system.

Hardest thing is trying to work out exactly where to put the air as there are so many places it could go.

Pretty awesome damage limiation for LH and his penality. Good chance LH can come out of this the WDC leader without needing to be on the podium.

That said, I think the Mercs will go backwards which is a shame - I'd like to see them on the podium or even winning.

Not sure what happened to Button, he just fizzled into nothing - maybe McLaren are putting some more eggs in the racepace basket.

Can't wait for tomorrow!

vettel has proper lost the plot. he is what hamilton was last year, a nervous wreck with bad luck and won't listen to his team.

so happy for rosberg, he was always a top class driver but never had the opportunities to challenge for pole before.

Just watched the 2011 China highlights for probably the hundredth time in the last year, hoping for a repeat of that

This has got to be best race for sometime! 23cars still going with 6laps left!

Kimi's tyres are fooked which is a shame as he's been brilliant!

Seb next to go?!

Rosberg, Button, Webber/Vettel for podium!

Great result for Nico Rosberg, faultless from start to finish, well deserved!

Awesome race, so close and all but one finished!

What a finish! China really is one of the best GP's.

Harsh for Schumacher, probably would've got a podium today, shame we didn't get to see if Jensen could catch Rosberg too. Still, steady points for the McLarens, that's what matters over the season, those two are looking favourites for drivers championship.

Awesome race, loved it

LH leading the WDC, consistent and steady with the grid this tight JB may find himself on a different starting row more often than not which means pressure will be on.

Wasa fantastic race! Glad I got up to watch it. One of the best I've seen in a long time. Great Job by Nico Rosberg, definitely deserved that win, nice to see him finally get 1 under his belt!

Hamilton and Button done a smashing job, was good to see Hamilton back in is balls out overtaking form & lol@ Vettel throwing his toys out of the pram again

Really enjoyable race today. I love the China GP.

Gutted for Schumacher. I would live to see him win/podium. Superb drive by Nico.

Would have liked to have seen McLaren V the Merc in the last few laps!

Also I like Vettel but one of the comments yesterday in quali by Jordan/Humphreys made me laugh

Where's that finger now?

He's using it to hang his helmet on

Started off as a bit of an average race imo, but then livened up during the second half Was great seeing something like 7 cars going for second place Was almost funny when Kimi's tyres went, how he just suddenly went down 12 places. Goes to show how much the tyres really do drop off at the end.

I'd like to think it would have been Button's win if he hadn't had that bad stop, but at the very least it would have been good to see them go at it. Getting back up to second was a good effort, though.

Numberwang!

Not really only works when using DRS and how many time did Rosberg need his DRS only good for quali

Agreed with Stu, I think Mercedes' advantage came from the track/ambient temperatures rather than the doubleDRS.

No question the DRS assisted the .5 sec gap in quali, but the Merc was still handy in race conditions in which they've struggled in the previous races as they were not able to get into the right operating temps for the tyres.

I think it was Ross Brawn who said in an interview that Rosberg came into pit during Malaysia saying his tyres were completely gone, yet when they inspected them they had loads of rubber left - they had just fallen out of the operating temperature.

If they struggle in Bore-ain that would add up to the temp theory, but if they go quick.... maybe they just genuinely fixed the car!
