Yep lost what 12secomds in that round. Even bringing them in a lap apart would have been better.
I can't understand what they were trying. Even pushing a second every lap, isn't good enough.

Gotta wonder how Merc always seem to mess up on Hamilton with tire strategy a lot.

Dimi · 3 Apr 2016 at 17:20

The undercut is massive here, Ferrari used it with Kimi. That's why he's way ahead of Hamilton and closer to Rosberg.

And Verstappen pitting puts Grosjean into 5th.

Vandoorne is in the points.

Kimi only gained 5 seconds or so on Rosberg, Hamilton lost 12.

grosjean could be on for 4th, catching at 1.5 is on last lap.

Has anyone checked on smr?

Just me, or have mediums been under-performing through not getting hot enough in the cool evening track temps? So they last, but at a poor pace.

Magnussen been drinking Sato's Banzai juice?

Flibster · 3 Apr 2016 at 17:25

Oooh... Nicely tried there Magnussen.

Shame it didn't work, but a very nice try.

But why didn't they pit hammy and respond.

utajoker · 3 Apr 2016 at 17:26

ham is catching quite quickly, if they have atleast pitted the next lap he could have been in with a chance of 2nd atleast.

Flibster · 3 Apr 2016 at 17:29

As much as I want Renault to score a point, I don't want Magnussen to knock Vandoorne out of the points.

Hamilton now a second a lap slower than Rosberg and Raikkonen. No danger from behind as Ricciardo is 43 seconds behind him, so can just ease whats left of the car home.

Did a manor just pass something??????

utajoker · 3 Apr 2016 at 17:30

up to 1 second per lap lost!

MooMoo444 · 3 Apr 2016 at 17:31

HAAS are on fire.

Flibster · 3 Apr 2016 at 17:32

25 lap old mediums on Ericsson's car vs 11 lap old super softs on Wherlein's car.

Flibster · 3 Apr 2016 at 17:35

There's been some great racing from 4th downwards. Not so much up the front.

Flibster · 3 Apr 2016 at 17:36

So, driver of the day?

Grosjean, Ricciardo, Vandoorne, Wherlein or Magnussen could win it for me.
