It was legal, definitely reminiscent of the Schumacher Chop (Michael's, that is. Ralf's was a chop with relish, salad and fries).
Yeah I know, but I have a feeling this will grow into some great moments for the rest of this season between these 2 drivers :-). Who will draw first blood though?
 
Rosberg lost big time in the pits, I think Vettel may be in trouble mediums are likely not the right tyre for this intensely hot track.
 
Safety car in this lap!
 
The SC does help Raikkonen and Maldonado since they get to catch up to the field again.
 
Ricciardo might actually steal Vettels position here by pitting.
 
Nasr to 16th :-) 4.xxx behind Kimi now.
 
Playing into Vettel's hands so far...
 
Sainz nearly chopped Hamilton off course into turn 1.
 
Vettel looks to have a Mercedes lead. Hammy is fighting back in 4th now. I think Vettel's and Ferrari's gamble might work out with not going to the prime tires on that SC
 
At the risk of starting a Rosberg/Hamilton fanwar... one of those drivers is showing their instinctive passing ability... the other isn't.

EDIT: I think Ricciardio actually has a brake problem, it looks to be yawing a lot on the brakes.
 
Already in NASCAR coverage form.
This, the worst part of it is that no one from NBC Sports comes into my bar anymore after last season calling out their bottom line ticker guy for ruining replays of races.

Man that was just lightly joking with them. This conversation of their darn Nascar coverage of F1 might get the Stamford PD involved too if I gave the NBC Sports guys a real piece of my mind over these commercials.

Seems more like the ERS kicking in and out and times that DR doesn't need it too
 
What a race this is

Possibly that's part of the problem, now you mention it, particularly when brake-harvesting maybe? Certainly a lot of dust coming out of his brakes now.
 
Rosberg up to 3rd, lot of brake dust coming from Ricciardo, loses another place..
 
Riccardos front wheels are Black from all the brake dust, the brakes maybe gone as he is struggling.
