Austrian Grand Prix 2016, Spielberg - Race 9/21

So 25 laps on the Ultras. Can Hamilton do 50 on Softs?

I seriously doubt Rosberg can do 60 on them given he made the Ultras barely last 10!

Remember that the Mercedes do not follow well and could end up destroying Hamilton's tyres. Plus if it rains...

That is basically a daft theory people came up with. Hamilton has repeatedly followed cars, over and over, and never had any trouble with it destroying his tires. He's followed, pushed harder and gained on Rosberg for half a race and then still had better tires than Rosberg. He was stuck for half a race behind Vettel, no sign of worse/destroying tires.

What happens is a few times Hamilton has got stuck behind people either with car damage, an engine issue or at Barcelona/Monaco/a track you can't pass at and decided that it's because the car is only fast in clear air.... while ignoring at the tracks known for overtaking the Merc has absolutely zero problem overtaking or following in air.
