Hamilton now struggling for grip. Seems tyre deg is higher than predicted.

Flibster · 2 Nov 2014 at 20:32

And that's Rosberg in the pits.

3.0 stationary
24.433 overall.

CaptainRAVE · 2 Nov 2014 at 20:34

Hamilton staying out?

Flibster · 2 Nov 2014 at 20:34

Hamilton's wing to be down two turns. Feels oversteery.

3.1 stationary
24.368 overall.

Slower stop, but faster overall. Huh...

Ham with the slower stop again #MercConspiracy

Flibster · 2 Nov 2014 at 20:36

Yellow in sector 10 and DRS disabled

I take it back, Rosberg has this one in the bag - baring technical errors or other shenanigans.

Flibster · 2 Nov 2014 at 20:36

Double yellows in Sector 9 and 10.

Seems so at the moment. Hamilton better hope for some better weekends.

Anyone thinking this race is pretty dull so far or just me?

Flibster · 2 Nov 2014 at 20:39

Would it be obscenely cruel to laugh if Vettel's slowness is caused by a component of his brand new powerunit has failed?

drunkenmaster · 2 Nov 2014 at 20:39

How do they get this wrong every time, gap was 1.9 seconds before pitstop and hamilton losing time? No, Hamilton was around 2.5-3, came out about 3.1 seconds behind and has closed a second already.

now 1.8 second gap so almost 1.5seconds gained since he came out, significantly faster, again.

EDIT:- Gutierrez is just crap.

Flibster · 2 Nov 2014 at 20:40

Where did that come from? Grosjean is actually racing instead of breaking down or complaining.

Psycho Ned · 2 Nov 2014 at 20:40

Force India probably wished they'd boycotted now would have saved the repair bills!

Flibster · 2 Nov 2014 at 20:41

DRS enabled - track cleared.

It'll never last

Flibster · 2 Nov 2014 at 20:42

Unsafe release with Magnussen and Guiterrez - no further action.

mmj_uk · 2 Nov 2014 at 20:42

Somebody put Vettel's dummy back in.

drunkenmaster · 2 Nov 2014 at 20:42

Also important is Hamilton is getting back to drs but he was having poor exits onto the drs straight, maybe less oversteer and a better start to that straight will let him get close enough for drs to work. But the Merc DRS has always been a bit crap.
