Its not wet enough.

Under virtual safety car, what would have happened if Bottas just dropped 10 seconds back on Massa, could Rosberg not pass him? Is that not a huge loophole in VSC implementation? Bottas could make himself a gap for Massa and Bottas to pit at the same time but not lose out to Rosberg by using the VSC to create that gap in which he can go slower but can't be passed?

Were they allowed to Hamilton that no one had stopped yet?

Rosberg could go passed as long as he didn't exceed the VSC lap limit I would think.

And very sporadic across the track.

Shame that Patrick Head is no longer really involved with Williams. Imagine the shouting that he would be doing if he was. The strategy guys would be in a whole heap of trouble.

ham going 1.5 seconds per lap quicker than massa.

CaptainRAVE · 5 Jul 2015 at 14:08

Some parts of the track are very wet. Tough call.

Crikey it's slippy down there.

Flibster · 5 Jul 2015 at 14:08

Rosberg very wide there.

Skeeter · 5 Jul 2015 at 14:08

Remember Hamilton lapping the whole field on inters while they were all on wets?

CaptainRAVE · 5 Jul 2015 at 14:09

Don't push too hard Hamilton!

muon · 5 Jul 2015 at 14:09

Hamilton should wait, he has the gap.

Doohickey · 5 Jul 2015 at 14:09

Apart from knowing whether or not it's likely to stop raining soon, surely it's got to be 100% the driver's call? And if Bottas insists on inters then do it and it's on his head.

E.g. How does Martin Brundle know better than the guys out there what it's like on track and whether it's too soon or too early. :/

Hamilton's last lap was a 1:49.338 - not exactly fast

Ericcson, Alonso, Stevens and Merhi all onto Intermediates.

CaptainRAVE · 5 Jul 2015 at 14:09

Yup, still not good for inters. It only works if it rains a lot more.

Skeeter · 5 Jul 2015 at 14:09

Inters are bad. They won't go to the end. Bottas stay out.

englishpremier · 5 Jul 2015 at 14:09

Oh dear Ham on another lap
