The driver of “Mercedes” Nico Rosberg has confidently won on the circuit of Suzuka and closer to their first League title.
The key to victory Rosberg was a solid start – German without any problems, confirmed in yesterday’s qualifying and began to break away from his pursuers. Meanwhile Hamilton fell back to eighth place, Vettel stormed into the top 3, and Verstappen is located behind Rosberg.
Hamilton failed to return to a familiar position than Rosberg coolly enjoyed. When the British finally dealt with Raikkonen, ricciardo and Vettel, Rosberg was already too far away to count on a direct fight with him.
Hamilton has sights on second place, but was unable to break the defense Verstappen. Perhaps if Lewis went Dutch for 3-4 laps to go, we would try to get closer to Rosberg, who had to save the tyres, and the German still 10 points away from his partner and is now able to become champion even if Hamilton wins all the remaining races.
“Mercedes” ahead of schedule won the constructors ‘ championship, Red bull still four points away from “Ferrari” and 99% secured the second line.
