Safety car came out out at the wrong time for Rosberg, meanwhile Hamilton spins off on the first lap but has still managed to climb up to 4th!!!

Great race and great win for Riccardo. Hamilton just about finishes ahead of Rosberg after he rejected team orders.

Looks like it was a decent race at the weekend. First one I've missed in a while.
We will have the youngest Grand Prix driver in history next year as it was announced that 16 year old Max Verstappen will race for Toro Rosso (he will be 17 when the season starts). F1 fans of a similar vintage to myself might remember his father Jos who's F1 career was probably best remembered for this incident

Great to be back after the summer break. It will be interesting to see if any teams have managed anything to catch Rosberg/Hamilton.
