Even though it was an extremely boring race this year, it achieved its main purpose in boosting the local economy. It attracted thousands of tourists to the city, the local businesses made a lot of money, and it was a great start to the summer season.
As i predicted, Lewis Hamilton easily won the race. Easy if you discount the presence of second-place finisher Niko Rosberg. Rosberg had team orders not to pass Hamilton when he could have. It was the right move. Hamilton leads in points and was shafted by his own team last week in a race he should have won, which was won by Rosberg. The team decision evened things out.
