The move in La Source was pretty good and unlucky. That he then continued to race on when missing half a front wing was dangerous and pretty unprofessional
Pretty good and unlucky? He's all over the kerb where the brakes don't work and without space to pass anyone doesn't make it a good manouver at all.
He went for the gap that was there. What happened then with vettel turning in was out of his control

Yes. Vet move was stupid, he should have stayed as far as possible. Ves and Rai would have crashed anyway, but this would have left Ferraris in the positions 2 and 3.

Kimi didn't give Max much room at all but there was then no slack available once Seb turned in on Kimi. Classic first corner incident really.

What tire is Rosberg obliged to use? Medium?

Vettel needs to get a grip on first lap first corner antics. Like wtf was he thinking? Cars would simply vanish? It's a first corner omfg.

Not sure...looks like the Merc is too slow on the Med. I think they go for S now and check if they go SS or M at the end. Due to the small number of laps left I think it will be SS.

And: As I said, 9 laps were easy on the SS, Hulk had good pace for his full SS stint before he pitted.

Ok so the soft is the tire you have to use in the race at least once?
Then he´s in much better condition than if he was forced to run Mediums.

What gap? The kerb isn't a gap and kimi was we'll ahead of max.

I like how hamilton took absolutely no risks whatsoever. He didn't even contest with alonso :lol:

Rosberg on the medium. Getting it out of the way now.
