Red Bull Excels While Mercedes Self-Destructs

Great win for the new kid, Ricciardo, for Red Bull but the race smelled after Rosberg and Hamilton, both racing for Mercedes, had a bump and that took Hamilton out of the race.  Such things happen but it's rare for the team manager to rebuke a driver publicly yet he roasted Rosberg for making a poor move at a bad time.

Well.

Formula One got a lot more interesting than it has been in previous seasons.  It's difficult to watch but news of it is varied and it's unpredictable what comes.  Any of the three of them is strong enough to win and there is talk of Machiavellian team strategy to favor one driver over another.  I have no idea how much reality is behind that but we've seen 'unusual' things in various teams over the years that give some credence to the theories but do they tell me who killed JFK?  Nooooo....

With three out of six wins for Ricciardo, he may well own it if Rosberg and Hamilton don't stop fighting with each other.
