The numbers are worthless, simple as that, different cars, different tyre wear, different positions in races. One car can do a one stop at the pace they are guessing at, another will have to go a second a lap slower through the whole race to make tyres last long enough to do a 1 stop.

I'd be very surprised if Mclaren couldn't get in the points, Merc get a 1-2, Red Bull struggle beyond the first pit stop, maybe two. Merc have managed to stay 2-3 last race, and Rosberg upfront till after the first stop, everyone is protecting tyres in the first stint, with less fuel on the Red Bull/Ferrari/Lotus tend to show their pace and superior tyre usage. Will hopefully see Lewis Rosberg 1-2 into the first corner, then Lewis build up a small gap, once those guys pass Rosberg more than 30-40% into the race they'll start gaining on Hamilton hand over fist and likely pass without too much trouble like Alonso last race.
