Hate to say it, but you gotta hand it to them, RBR and Vettel are their usual flawless self.

Lewis two tenths faster than Vettel last lap.

Four tenths faster in S1, two tenths slower in S2, one tenth slower in S3 in the next lap. Fastest lap for LH.

The what?
In it would be better to see if Ham can take the points of Vettel, Ham in front of Vet and Alonso would -5 for Vettel and -3 for Alonso which would be damage limitation.
I understand that part. What I didn't understand was which Ferrari driver should let Hamilton by?

Seb pulls SEVEN tenths out of sector two alone, and another three in S3.

Looks like Red Bull have this in the bag/

Massa, before he pitted, instead of fighting him just let him by

Yer, they're doing the littlest amount that they need to to win.

They were saying that Kimi was having trouble with the clutch and the rear tires were spinning while they were trying to change them.

Thanks for clarifying, I've probably missed that.

What's wrong with Lewis? One time he is fast, then he drops, then again fastest lap.

I wonder what Jensons pace is going to be like on the option tyres with light fuel........funny enough he's not far away from Lewis after pit stops.

Rubbish, it was traffic. Pendulum has swung back the other way and now Lewis is back into the DRS zone!

Looks like Ham is inherently faster on the primes.
