I can see Raikkonen going to the end with hard tyres.

I don't see how it can be anything other than 50/50. Nico pulled a rigid but legal move, but Hamilton was carrying too much speed to do anything other than hit the grass or lock all four wheels.


The way I'm looking at it is that Lewis starting heading for the inside before Nico. Nico defended too late giving Lewis the options of hitting the back of Nico, braking / slowing down or what we saw happen. Both were aggressive but it's rare for Lewis to make such an error versus Nico who has done this to Lewis and other drivers prior.

Didn't see on-screen, but probably - she is married to Christian Horner.

Which is the important part. The lead car cannot put somebody in that position. Rosberg had to make the move before Hamilton was already there. If you defend so late that the following car has to brake or go off track, that is bad. If you defend and the following car can go to the outside instead, that is fine.

Lewis was definitely side by side before Romberg reached the track limit. That's what counts. Then he just squeezed him out. So I do expect a penalty against Rosberg

Renault might have to once their suspension settings pop the rest of their tyres.


To dredge this up from page 4, K-Mag is currently on the hard tyres.

EDIT: And now Palmer is as well.

Yeah, I know he's mad and I don't care. I do not care. I did not care then. I do not care now. I'm here to race him.

Weird strategies going on.

Ricciardo has to come in now.

Only if it suits the stewarts.

Vettel will come out behind Raikkonen. He will get the overlap on Ricciardo and Kimi will let him through.

So after all the pitstops are completed the order will be Max-Kimi-Vettel-Ricciardo. So it'll have to be done on track.

Can't understand Vettel's strategy. Why not pit later if you're doing 3 stops?
