Hulk having a bad day at the office.

Magnussen gets a 5 second penalty for more than one change of direction.

if Rosberg pushes hard now he has to pit again.

Vish Petrol · 3 Jul 2016 at 13:46

Any chance of rain?

UTmaniac · 3 Jul 2016 at 13:47

My guess is Rosberg will need to pit by ~lap 57.

CaptainRAVE · 3 Jul 2016 at 13:48

Rosberg driving as if he is going to stop again.

99% sure Rosberg is not going to the end, he's been doing too many fastest laps frankly, he's pushing hard and has been the whole stint, If he was hanging it out to the end he'd be saving tires and putting Hamilton in dirty air. LIkewise if Ham knew Rosberg wasn't pitting he'd be pushing not hanging back.

Saying that, I'm not exactly overly enthusiastic about Hamilton doing a what 47 lap stint on these tires.

Skeeter · 3 Jul 2016 at 13:48

Rosberg is pulling away/being allowed to pull away at a rate that suggests he is stopping again.

Flibster · 3 Jul 2016 at 13:49

And 5 second penalties for Grosjean and Hulkenberg for speeding in the pit lane.

Skeeter · 3 Jul 2016 at 13:51

Bored now...

Really? Kvyat's only done 9 laps in the last 2 races?

How much more before Pierre Gasly gets a phone call for a seat fitting?

Do the engines chose to stop working if they don't like the driver that is in the car, if not, I don't think a different driver will make a difference.

Engines going pop aren't really his fault.

CaptainRAVE · 3 Jul 2016 at 13:55

Rain would change this up.

Good point. Forgot that. Was channel hopping in the south of france at that point.

Merlin5 · 3 Jul 2016 at 13:56

As David Cameron might say to Rosberg, "‘For heaven’s sake man, pit!"

Might you have an agenda?

Jumping to blame Kvyat for Torro Rosso reliability issues in both races.

Pirelli with their sausage tires, bring back Michelin or Bridgestone whom actually are good at making sure tires don't endanger drivers while they're driving in a straight line.

We were told tires would degrade before they exploded, absolutely shambolic.

Skeeter · 3 Jul 2016 at 13:57

If Rosberg does 60 laps on a set someone needs to slap Pirelli round the face.

Flibster · 3 Jul 2016 at 13:59

Nasr managed 41 laps on the soft tyre.

That's only 8 away from where Rosberg is now, but the Merc is out front.
