He was 12 clear before anyone pitted, now only 4. His pitstop was fine

Lewis had an off plus the cars behind were going quicker on fresher tyres.

Vettels turn to be McBain

"Tough Luck!"

Go, Vettel.

Tough luck indeed!

[Simes205]

Yey!!

[Inertiatic]

Red Bull are quite fun this year aren't they

[heebeegeetee]

Ooh, I fear the Internet may explode.

So they've told vettel that DR is two stopping...

Why don't they now 3 stop DR and bring him in for the second stop before Vettel. When vettel queries it... well that's tough luck isn't it?

That'd be the most passive aggressive way to piss away a potential podium imaginable, short of stopping the car in the middle of the track and sighing at him.

Sky Go timing screen is rubbish. The cars can go in the pits, change tyres, come out, get to turn 6 before it is shown as pit in on the screen. And it is blurred slightly so you can't read it if it is a small window.

Agreed, they are carrying it as video rather than data, then compressing the crap out of it..

Looks like DR is in a better position to me for a podium either way..

[Crafty_]

Vettel also told to stay out.. now 1.8 sec off RIC.

McLarens look so slow.

Rosberg pace looks okay but still slower than Hamilton.

Depends on the tyres I guess, all very interesting though eh?
