Mercedes

While the stat books will show it was a clinic by Nico Rosberg, it was anything but in the closing laps of Formula 1's night race.

Nico Rosberg out-lasted the chaos of the first 10 laps to put on a clinic and score the victory at Spa-Francorchamps.

While pole sitter Nico Rosberg got a horrible start, teammate Lewis Hamilton got an excellent start and put on a dominating performance as he scored the victory at the Hockenheimring.

Lewis Hamilton is the points leader for the first time this season after a dominating victory in Hungary.

Nico Rosberg attempted to stop Lewis Hamilton's pass on him going into Turn 2, but the block backfired, he lost his front wing and his teammate and main rival for the championship drove on to score the victory in the Austrian Grand Prix.

There was no stopping Nico Rosberg this weekend as he took the pole, led the most laps, posted the fastest single lap and took the victory in the first race in the Republic of Azerbaijan.

In a season that started off slow with disappointment after disappointment, Lewis Hamilton capitalized on the pit road blunder of the pole sitter to score the victory in Monte Carlo.

What had been a "perfect season" for Mercedes turned into a disaster on the opening lap of today's race in Spain.

Nico Rosberg took the victory in a dominant performance at Interlagos. The driver of the No. 6 Mercedes AMG Petronas car started from the pole and led all but four laps en route to scoring his 13th career win in Formula 1, fifth of the season and second at the Autódromo José Carlos Pace in São Paulo.

The driver of the No. 6 Mercedes AMG Petronas car won his fifth straight pole with a time of 71.282 and a speed of 138.198 mph. He said afterwards that qualifying was "an area that I had to work on, so I have been working on it through the season. But I don't have a direct explanation, a precise thing I've done different."
