I agree. Being able to hear the crowd here and in earlier races is a big plus.

They both lost ERS at the same time though, it's just weird.

Vettel won, he won the last 9 races of 2013.
IIRC he started complaining about brakes after SC restart.
I think that something went wrong with braking energy recovering system and that also affected ERS

The gods really are on Rosberg's side. Two mistakes where he didn't come off badly and then Hammy's car going to shit and his somehow limping along to the end with the hapless Perez unable to overtake with a 1s+ a lap lead.

Oh look, it's Perez again. Him and Maldonado are the worst.
JJJJJJJJJJJJEEEEENNNNNNSSSSSSSSOOOOOONNNNNNNNN!!!!
No idea how he got 4th, wasn't he behind The Hulk and Alonso on the back straight before Perez caused the crash?

Yeah, I read the pole column in Wikipedia as if it was the win one; you're quite right.
Let's ignore the fact he was in third place with a Force India before he got shunted by Massa.
-edit
Oh wait, Perez caused the crash. Carry on.
This has to be the most positive and satisfying podium interview to watch all season. Hamilton's bitterness in the last couple of races was really souring the victories. Funny how after his retirement, everyone is now all smiles!
Nobody should be happy about a DNF. That is the very definition of bitterness.

Pretty damn happy about that result for all sorts of reasons. Fantastic job Danny. Might have taken a bit of luck to get position on Vettel but that pass on Perez earned you the win and then some.
On that subject though, poor Perez. =/

Albert Park, Spa, and Interlagos are my favorite tracks for seeing spectacle.

Perez did make a blocking move. Massa was already commited. It's Massa's fault as he was coming from behind though in his defence, it is really hard to anticipate a move like perez made.
Awesome win for Ricciardo, much deserved. Super intense race.
Rosberg has some sort of amazing luck to even finish this race. Nearly collided with Hamilton in the first corner, escaped the wall after his first pit-stop by a miracle, cocks up a corner and cuts 80 meters of track, remains first and gets no penalty, PU trouble hits but gets shielded from harm by Perez for 13 laps. Hamilton second DNF.

Perez had brake problems, so Williams should have warned Massa to expect him to brake earlier than usual. Also, he didn't exactly move to the left out of nowhere - to me it looked more like he was simply drifting in towards the apex of the corner, as you would expect. The difference in speed between his and Massa's cars at that point makes it look more pronounced than it might otherwise, but I don't think it was a sudden movement.

Huh interesting. And still, Hamilton couldn't get close enough to even dream of passing.
That might just end up being the story of the championship.
Yeah, he had great reflexes!
Rosberg would have been a clear fourth if not for the Perez wedge.
I give you Spa and a rainy Interlagos. Canada is the absolute best tho, it always delivers.

One thought: How the hell did Rosberg have enough fuel to race however many laps that was without ERS? He was high on consumption before the problem even!
You answer lies in safety car - 8 laps of fuel saving.
Commentator on ORF said that he had 50% of ERS power, but probably it died right at the end. But this is still major handicap in Canada, because you will get eaten by other in S3. On other tracks, this defect would prove less costly.
Oops, I said Albert Park, but I meant Circuit Gilles Villeneuve; although Australia is often interesting as well.

Force India and Williams would horde lots of points today. FI would even overtake Ferrari at 3rd place!Williams wasted a lot of points. Looks like Bottas also had issues with brakes today.
A tenth of the race was safety car.

He should have been using something like 20% extra for 30-40% of the race? Also, he was told his consumption was too high after the first safety car.
Obviously he made it, but it must have been a close call.
Still wonder what triggered this on the same time for both cars. Probably night shift is already at Brixworth to reproduce it on the bench.

He probably used the same amount of fuel as a normal race. Fuel flow is limited.

Not having ERS won't increase fuel consumption it only makes you A LOT slower. They're still on the 100kg/h limit for the ICE
