Rosberg driving very nicely! Pitting early helped him leap frog the Ferrari and that has enabled him to drive the Mercedes to its full. Hamilton is stuck behind Massa just as Rosberg was earlier. Rosberg for a podium along with one of the Lotus drivers.

I love how they FOCKED Hamilton in the pits. They pitted Rosberg 3 laps early to jump Massa, but tried to be too smart with Hamilton, waited too long and ended up pitting at the same lap as Massa keeping Lewis behind him for good. Good job lol.

that was short run for webber on options. also idiotic move to put on options in first pitstop instead of mediums. same utter bullcrap as in japan

Well there we go...no matter what strategy they use you will always call BS :roll:

Webber was just 13.8 sec behind Vettel. He was about to catch in a lap or two ....

Lewis is absolutely mediocre today, unbelievable. He'll even lose out to Perez due to not treating his tires properly. :roll:

This wasn't his fault at all. In the 2nd stint he was faster than both Rosberg and Massa (he had fallen 5+ seconds behind because he had to overtake Bottas but closed the gap to under 2 seconds by the pit window), and went 3 laps longer than Rosberg which tells me both his pace and tire conserving was fine. The only chink in the armor was the team trying to be too smart with the 2nd stint. Had they pitted him a lap earlier he'd comfortably come out ahead of Massa, and Grosjean wouldn't be a problem either.

In the end, Hamilton wasted his rear tyres too much in a bid to overtake Massa on the track which- unfortunately for him- was never on. He's a racer and I don't blame him for trying to overtake though. The bulk of the fault was on the team today.
