Brazilian Grand Prix 2014, São Paulo - Race 18/19

Every time, every stint Hamilton cruises for 3-5 laps, Rosberg will be marginally faster, Hamilton will then turn it up a bit.

The trouble here is the track is terrible for back markers, first car can overtake someone down a straight while guy behind often gets caught behind that car in a slower corner here or simply passes in the corner but makes the corner a bit slower. He lost a couple tenths to Bottas as he ended up a little wider not quite sure if he could turn in because Bottas was there. Not Bottas's fault he did great just difficult here to pass back markers.
 
He has the pace, but maybe not the tires, particularly hot track that the tires aren't great here being behind Rosberg for that long is maybe a problem. Of course Rosberg tires will get worse each lap also, they could go back in Hamilton's favour.
 
There's no blistering anymore. Just high wear.

That's a lotus that needs a bit of a fire extinguisher, unless it's the battery pack, in which case, just leave it to burn.
