Hope Lewis gets out the car and says something Like "I might go to Ferrari, at least I will be allowed to win in another team"

Hamilton was the defacto leader as per the strategy until they pitted both cars, but put one on the older used tire and the other on brand new SS?
Not for nothing, Rosberg's Championship is the only thing that lends credibility to Hamilton's recent success. Otherwise, he'd just be the guy who's had the best car. — bhall II

A strategy f$$ k up is a bit of a comedy, there is no comedy left in the f $$ k ups on the side of the 44.

Yup. Used softs vs new Super Softs with about 15 laps to go on a low degradating track

Do you know which tires each have left in the garage?
If you watch live timing, you can see Lewis was slower than Rosberg even when he had 10 laps newer softs.

They gave him the undercut in the 2nd pitstop? He had no super softs left. It could have been a faster 2nd stop but he also made a mistake on the outlap.
