Could easily have been a bigger lead for either team (driver), if not for mistakes by both when they each had opportunities to take a big lead in points...interesting, given that we're talking about two drivers who (by now) have experience (Hamilton one of the 3 most experienced in the sport, + Kimi) and previous success in race wins,... And, great teams behind them. Even those teams (and drivers) seem to be struggling with keeping it together as much as we would have previously expected. (11 second pit stop out of red bull? Really?!!!!)

This is one of the most interesting seasons for me, at least since Alonso was in a red car... Grab the pop corn
