Massa will burn through his tyres at this rate.

Too little too late for Williams. Teams always leave it too late when running the short stint on softer tyres at the end. 10 laps isn't enough.

Wonder if hami will turn the engine up for the last few laps....

CaptainRAVE · 23 Nov 2014 at 14:27

Hamilton doesn't need to respond, he has a huge gap.

Such a shame it didn't get decided by racing.

It didn't Hamilton completely out raced him all year long.

Before the Rosberg failure Hamilton was easily staying ahead.

How on earth Massa thinks he's going to take a second a lap out of Hamilton and pass him before the flag is beyond me.

15 lap old softs versus brand new super softs... it's more than possible if the Williams/Merc were equal and they had equally fast drivers. When the Merc can be a second a lap faster and Hamilton is just a faster driver that becomes a different prospect.

Exactly, he also has to pass. He is more likely to crash into Hamilton.

Loving @LotusF1Team twitter feed at the moment.

Meanwhile, in P14 @RGrosjean puts in a sterling effort, despite an 80 place grid penalty, and carrying a goat cargo

Goat lovers, rest assured, it's a race-trained goat who enjoys his job.

You seldom see race goats

Exactly, unless Hamilton's car breaks, i dont think Rosberg would have won anyway.

Vertigo · 23 Nov 2014 at 14:29

So do we reckon Rosberg will just bitch about his car failing and try to make out that was what lost him the chamionship?

Probably just wants to ram him off for what happened in 2008, Rosberg is letting him down though.

Ok, now the gap is closing.

Should be in DRS range with two laps to go, could still easily win.

Was that Nicole look worried?

ham done 2 personal best sectors.

Ok enough with the shots of Nicole Shirtswinger looking like she's about to cry now. :rolleyes:

I don't think Massa is going to catch him

CaptainRAVE · 23 Nov 2014 at 14:32

Most of these cars even struggle to get passed an ill Mercedes. Can't wait for next season...I guess the gap will be smaller?

Jono8 · 23 Nov 2014 at 14:32

5 laps, 6.5 second gap. Doubtful

Vertigo · 23 Nov 2014 at 14:32

Rosberg running seventh, so if Massa caught Lewis and took them both off with a mad lunge...

Doubt his tyres will last and Massa doesn't have the racecraft to get past.
