Ricciardo imo. He out qualified his team mate, got a great start and controlled the race until Red Bull put him on the complete wrong strategy. That was his win to take. The fact the strategy was wrong doesn't take anything away from how he executed the weekend. At the end, statistics matter. Peopl...

But those numbers have hardly changed in the last 30 years even when the top tax bracket was 70% (1980) vs 35% (current). The tax reforms of the 1980's and 2000's have resulted in an across the board reduction in tax rates. This kicked off an economic boom that lasted 25 years . http://www.stanford...

Webber was running 5th and the pitted him and he dropped back to like 14th at the second safety car. Another insane strategy. With the 2 safety cars he could have easily have stayed out and stayed 5th or maybe even gained. Vettel stopped just a few stops later and he had so much pace near the end. ...

While I agree Mark is looking pretty handy so far, I think we need another 3 or 4 races before we can start drawing any conclusions on the Vettel/Webber battle.
All I know is that I love seeing two determined drivers battling it out, makes it much more entertaining than when Vettel dominated 2011
