Formula One - 2015 Season

[kiroquai]

I'm getting the feeling Vettel might be in the box seat here...

[mexos]

Ferrari pace...

[morcs]

Vettel owes a pit stop remember. Unless he's hoping to put late enough he can get hards to the end.

Ah I assumed Vet didn't pit under safety because they're on a 1 stop less strategy?

I'm getting the feeling Vettel might be in the box seat here...

The Mercs will be faster on the medium tyres, they are on hards at the moment.

Still Hamilton's race.

[mexos]

Maybe they just wanted to run in clear air and see what they can do.

[kiroquai]

Thing is, if they want to go to the end now on only 2 stops they might not be able to run those Mediums again.

[mexos]

Macca doing well.

[Dudley]

If the mediums can apparently do 20 laps I wouldn't be surprised if Hards can do to the end of the race.

Or if they can't, neither can Vettel.

That's largely the key at this point though.

[gospvg]

I think the Mercs will make only one more stop

[Dudley]

But do you think Vettel will make another stop?

[Sidewaysbob]

That bloody Ferrari will be fast then ...

[gospvg]

Yes Vettel can't do the remaining laps on these set. That's 36 laps.

[mexos]

Come on the finger!

[Dudley]

And there you go, both will apparently stop again.

[kiroquai]

Rosberg might have to play spoiler to protect Hamilton here.

Which he won't want to do, and I don't think he will be able to anyway.

[gospvg]

Rosberg is useless but good to see another team up & challenging the Mercs. Just wish Kimi was also involved.

[Dudley]

Apparently "Don't be shit" was too complex a message for Nico.

[morcs]

It's on now

[mexos]

A Mercedes being passed in a race by a different constructor...

Race delivers.

[gospvg]

Lovely overtake by the 17 year old

[makkuwata]

We have a season.

[morcs]

I guess the Ferrari should cruise past Hamilton too though, with such a tyre/lap time advantage and DRS

[Dudley]

If Lewis has to pit now he's not getting to the end. Then it IS on.

[gospvg]

Plan B for the Mercs now then. GAME ON !!

[kiroquai]

Vettel might win this by a significant margin - don't see Lewis getting to the end on Mediums from here.

Edit: definitely don't see it as game on - seems like game over to me, especially if Vettel can keep going for another 10 laps.

[morcs]

Both Red Bull front wheels are black with brake dust, isn't that worrying?

[MrPogo]

I like how all the commentators are now all going "I thought at the time it was the wrong choice for Mercedes to put the hard tyres one".

[gospvg]

Vettel might win this by a significant margin - don't see Lewis getting to the end on Mediums from here.

No I think he will take another stop

[Dudley]

Ferrari have completely out thought them on this haven't they?

[kiroquai]

No I think he will take another stop

Vettel should make the end on one more, which I think is what Lewis is going to need at his rate of deg.
