Vettel pits

I think Vettel is just going to nick this..

 

[Flibster]

Ericsson saying he's losing hydraulics. Can't shift.

 

[el_dazza]

And he does! Vettel leads!

 

[Flibster]

Yup. Mercedes dropped a clanger.

 

[Mr Jack]

Kind of worrying that Hamilton with fresh tyres, a faster car, and DRS can't pass.

 

[UTmaniac]

I must be dreaming, a first correct strategy call by Vettel!

 

[KiNgPiN83]

Rosberg breathes a sigh of relief..

 

[el_dazza]

Kinda proves it really is tough to pass under these regs when a Mercedes on super fresh tyres and with DRS can't get past.

 

[Junglist]

The Ferrari hype train was real!

 

[Flibster]

Sorry, but when Ultra Soft tyres can do 25+ laps... they're not ultra soft.

 

[el_dazza]

Nice healthy lead too.

 

[utajoker]

Mercedes With the bad strategy call.

 

[Flibster]

Hamilton 6.3s behind Vettel

 

[KiNgPiN83]

Nice healthy lead too.

And with fresher tyres! Looks like we'll all be getting he finger later as it were.

 

[Mr Jack]

Hamilton must be praying for a safety car now. I can't see how he can win without it.

 

[el_dazza]

And with fresher tyres! Looks like we'll all be getting he finger later as it were.

Speak for yourself

 

[Flibster]

Ricciardo stopped on track. Turn 3.

 

[Mr Jack]

Ricciardo stopped

 

[KiNgPiN83]

Speak for yourself

I really haven't missed Vettel's finger too. Lol

Gutted for DR. Going back to the lead battle however even if Hamilton catches Vettel, I doubt he'll pass him as he couldn't even pass the RB.
