Spanish Grand Prix 2012, Catalunya - Race 5/20

Yep he's running a sec slower than the cars around him
Aye, I'm not sure the two-stop (if they even manage it) strategy was worth the second or more he's lost every lap. He could have aimed for three stops and still end up where he is, imo.

Heh. If you'd said to me last year that Hamilton - Button - Vettel - Massa would be 7th to 10th in a dry race, I'd have told you to lay off the drugs.
 
Hard tyres hit the cliff at 25 laps.
Hamilton has to do 30.... Errrr. Oh dear.

He's **** with tyres though. Button would be able to do the whole season on one set of super softs and still have enough rubber remaining on them to make a new gimp suit for Thwax Mosley.
 
This is why we need two tyre compound out. Hammy could have run three hards, that would just about do it. Tempo tyre compound makes stratagy pretty redundant.
