Well that's the racing over for the afternoon. Easy cruise to the flag now for Ham.

[TheLimla]

Great move by k mag

[Matt_N]

Ros and Max pit together then.

Looks like merc will have to roll out the old austria undercut for rosberg then.

Merc abandon the protocol they've used to hamper Hamilton when it works for rosberg AGAIN

Is Rosberg not able to race then? Surely, as everyone is always saying, anyone could win in that Merc. Rosberg now has to overtake people to race Hamilton that's all.

[Matt_N]

Lewis had what, 9 seconds over Rosberg before the stop so that should be safe and he's just engaged hammer time so stop coming up.

Possibly justified this time, for the first time.

I try to ignore the negativity, life is better that way.

[Matt_N]

Status quo on the gap from Lewis to Nico following both stops then but different tyre strategy now.

Track limits don't seem to mean anything here

[ClockworkCupcake]

Nice move by Jenson there.

[PompeyM3]

Good to see the McLarens a bit more racy now.

[cgt2]

Rosberg seems to be very cautious even when passing the McLarens. This is his weak point, he just lacks racecraft in close combat.

I reckon they will come together round about the point Jenson is dicked around on his seat in September through to maybe December, is finally dropped, and then can't get a seat elsewhere.

[Derek Smith]

NR's tactics will only be useful if he uses his SS tyres to get past the RBs. Or even on one them. He's got to do it soon.

[VolvoT5]

We need a rain shower to make this interesting now.

Where is the magical Ferrari race pace? And why do they always get their strategy wrong - leaving both drivers out an extra lap or two cost them 4 to 5 seconds through the pit stop phase.

[Matt_N]

KMag came from a long way back then considering the Renault is not up to the Merc unit in the Williams.

Guess his first lap incident has affected a few things.

I'm not a big Jenson fan but he has suffered a dog of a car for 2 years and as it comes good he will be ditched. Doesn't seen right even if it is.
