Amazingly both McLarens still running. One in the points in fact.

I think the only question left is whether Lewis' softs will hold on until the end. No real battles anywhere else.

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.

"Let us know what you can do"

Not-so-subtle hurry up for Lewis.

So the devil's deal was that we could have an end to Mercedes dominance in exchange for all excitement...

I get the impression people are going to rave about this race simply because it's not Mercedes winning

....Vettel took the lead via pit lane.

*sigh* FML :slaphead:

If I was Mercedes, I would pit Hamilton for new tyres.

It's wonderful nostalgia. The German in the red car built by Italians has won the race through strategy.

Not me. It's been a dreadful race. Passing during pitstops is even worse than passing with DRS.

That would almost certainly piss away the double podium. He might get past Max with ultra-softs on but I don't think he could get Kimi as the cars are too evenly matched.

there has barely been a pass at all, even with DRS

Raikkonen and Alonso would both deserve to switch seats

hopefully MotoGP is better than this rubbish - the grid alone suggests it will be

How come in Barcelona Kimi showed very good pace? Maybe we have to wait till China to see, if this weekend is just an exception.

Now that the cars are faster, the races will be over sooner. Good in this case.

Traditional Kimi inconsistency? I just checked out his record here for some kind of indication of form, and there is no pattern :slaphead:

This is f1 though, not some feeder level where you can get away with exceptions. He's significantly slower in the race winning package.
