Well I wouldn't say mercs strategy was that bad. Pretty normal stopping in a Safety Card period. Most cars in the field stopped as well. Ferrari gambled, took a risk and made a pretty good call. Could have panned out differently. It's obvious they're impressive pace comes from their tire degradation. Nice to see a race at the top of the field.

Think Lewis has got it... But can't see Rosberg getting Vettel with used Hards by the end of the race.

Hamilton should comfortably win still, don't think Rosberg will get there though.

Both Force India's get time penalties for causing collisions.

Fuel data popped up, someone took a print? :) think the Ferrari was close to the Merc in usage.

I think the penalties for Perez and Hulkenberg are unnecessary. Both were racing incidents, IMHO.

Vettel was 1kg more than Hamilton who was a few tenths more than Rosberg.
If you are more fortunate than others, build a larger table not a taller fence.

How do you figure that? He has to do one more stop than Vettel. It's going to be very close if he does manage it. I think Vettel will win because of his ability to hold off the Mercedes in DRS.

Hamilton's charge appears to have diminished - it's gone from 1s+/lap to a few tenths.

Hamilton will be faster because of the option tires, but by the time he reaches Seb, they will be very used. Then we will se how good Vettel will defend his position. Its gonna be an excellent fight. *-*

Perez: clearest wheel to wheel foul at rather high speed and 10 s? On the contrary not enough (see joke penalty for Magnussen at Monza for comparison).

Looks like the former atm. Rosberg has no chance whatsoever. Hamilton a slim one.
