why not? He's got to use it at some point

Usually try and use them in the last stint where your likely in your finishing position so only have to race to the line and look after the car rather than choose the pit stop strategy, pass opponents and so forth...

Stormrider - Alonsos changed strategy or is it me? Was on a 3 stop like Hamilton but that fuel stop looks like a 2 stopper...

McLaren have played their hand...

ps3ud0

yup looks like hes 2 stopping. Lewis may switch to a 2 stop as well on the next stop. Short stinit on the softs to get them out of the way

But you could argue that the others will be struggling when he isnt.

Up to 11th from 17th in what, 4 laps?

Corking drive so far, given that it was a mechanical failure that put him back so far. With the mistake he made he would have been up there again already.

His laps aren't quick at all from Hamilton, on the display which popped up a bit ago, he only has the 7th quickest lap, with the leaders on low 1.13, and hamilton on 1.14.

Could be because of traffic e.t.c, but at the moment he's not super quick.

Afraid it looks all over at the moment, usually 18-10th is very easy to get past, due to the field being clumped. After that the cars are spread by seconds,

Gilly · 21 Oct 2007 at 17:38

hilly, he doesn't need to challenge Massa or Raikonnen

[edit]What a move on Barrichello! But fair play to him not cleaning Hamilton out.

Bennah · 21 Oct 2007 at 17:40

Yeah its no big deal to get 4th.

Except for the now poor tyre choice and fact the BMW's are still running.

My god, i cant remember the last time i saw a pass from THAT far back :eek:

Stormrider · 21 Oct 2007 at 17:40

oh dear, James Allen having spasms, but good move from Lewis

Glad that was Barrichello and not someone like Michael Schumacher.

knip · 21 Oct 2007 at 17:40

Oh jesus christ hes going to give me a heart attack!
Even the dogs run off due to my screeching at the telly now!

Bennah · 21 Oct 2007 at 17:40

Kubica is flying.

lol

Hilly · 21 Oct 2007 at 17:40

no, he needs to get to 5th at the moment, but with the mechanica failure of 30 seconds, he'd still of dropped to around 14th or so, and I repute that he'd be near where he'd wanted to be.

Sharknose · 21 Oct 2007 at 17:41

What a nutter!!!! :-)

Fantastic, yet crazy!!!

Hats off to him though (still, go on Kimi)

Depends on if these softs actually allow him to get to a position to utilise the harder tyres...

Afraid looking at this season its probably not the percentage play...
