There was a minute when I thought in a few laps it might get interesting for a second, but I was wrong

the red bull Ferrari battle was looking to get interesting but nothing came of it

Very excited for the race tomorrow in Singapore, I think it's going to be a great battle between red bull and Mercedes, about time.

Yeah I hope Nico keeps it up, and boy was that close, another lap and Ricciardo would have had him. Mercedes dropped the ball on tire strategy and got lucky

Oh Toto Wolff, your tears taste so sweet!

What a joke it is that F1 gave Rosberg a 10-second penalty for ramming Kimi. Practically F1 has given Mercedes a license to run all other cars off the track.

He didn't ram Kimi, but cutting in on the corner and taking it wide out was a shitty move, which is why he got the penalty (probably should have been a drive through penalty since they made contact). It was the same thing Vettel did to him in corner 1. Verstappen has done it too recent races, I wouldn't say they are giving Mercedes a pass. It was good to see red bull on the podium, will be a good fight between them and Ferrari for the number 2 spot.

Interesting defense of Nico's move on Kimi. Can you imagine the gushing of the F1 press had Max done this ?? Kimi was asleep - If Rosberg was too harsh F1 should ban overtaking - F1 - Autosport Plus

-----------------------------------

Amid so much talk about what people want Formula 1 to be, Nico Rosberg's penalty for his Malaysian GP move on Kimi Raikkonen basically amounts to an admission that hard racing is not welcome

F1's fight to enhance the show is ongoing. So it could do without discouraging drivers from doing things that are quite interesting on track.

Moments of genuine inspiration are few and far between in the modern age of grand prix racing, so punishing a driver on a rare occasion they were pushing the boundaries seems rather arse-about-face.

It was hard not to weep for competitive motorsport when Nico Rosberg was handed a 10-second time penalty for bumping into the side of Kimi Raikkonen while executing a bold move in the Malaysian Grand Prix.

Drivers shouldn't be completely carefree when it comes to to barging past rivals but on-the-limit passes are part of the spectacle. Clumsy, dangerous driving isn't - and this was very much the right side of on-the-limit.

It wasn't exactly a last-second lunge - Rosberg had gone deeper into Turn 1, held the car in the middle of the road as the corner tightened and the intention to dive to the inside was clear the moment he straightened up for Turn 2.

He would have made the corner had Raikkonen not turned in, so was not out of control by a long way. The contact occurred because Raikkonen turned into the corner and the gap disappeared - not that the Finn was wrong to turn in, he just had no idea Rosberg was down his inside.

That kind of collision is pretty much the definition of a racing incident. The fact Raikkonen was so caught out is the brilliance at the heart of the Rosberg pass.

Good point

It's not a great line if you run into another driver on the track. And I'm not so sure Kimi didn't see him. I wouldn't be surprised if that's why he turned in the way he did - sharper turn in to cut off the pass attempt.

If u see a replay when they touched Nico was already ahead of Kimi. He was asleep and left the door open. It was Nico's rear wheel that hit Kimi. Done.

Actually he plowed into Kimi's front wing first with his front wheel.
