Poll: Chinese Grand Prix 2017, Shanghai - Race 2/20

[englishpremier]

This is the same thing that constantly happens to Kimi, he wants to pit but his team don't want him to, if he pitted 10 laps ago he'd be in the fight for 3rd at least. Trying to hang this out is a joke. How can you not read how slow he is and realise you need to pit him ages ago. His tire deg will be worse than all those behind him towards the end of the race, not least they are risking him not finishing if the tires just go completely.

Haha. Three of us all saying the same thing at the same time.

Think some of you underestimate how quick the Ferrari is in race trim, if vettel hadn't pit under VSC he'd be in better position to challenge hamilton.

 

[utajoker]

Ferrari is fast but Merc has the speed this weekend, Hamilton has been cruising all race.

 

[SS-89]

FERRARI IS FAST BUT MERC HAS BEEN CRUISING ALL RACE. THINK MERC HAVE THE EDGE THIS WEEKEND.

Once the jokers at ferraris strategy team stop messing around maybe we'll fully understand relative pace. Hopefully in Bahrain.

 

[drunkenmaster]

Brundle saying 3rd is between the RBR's and Kimi? he's 12 seconds back and not gaining anywhere near enough, he probably gained a lot more on one lap due to traffic or something.

1:35.378 for Hamilton

"We still have potential for P4 here Nico... Valtteri"

Not much point learning his name when Alonso is replacing him next year.

Grosjean appears to have had his Frosties this morning.

From my awful memory, I'd hazzard a guess at 2011, where we had ~11 different race winners in the first 11 races?

Edit: No memory is awful!
