Kobe is having a good race, wonder how many stops he has had compared to Rosberg :/

1 stop, Rosberg has done 2.

Shame they don't have the German GP here every year, the crappy new Hockenheim isn't a patch on it.

Exactly I'm used to the double standards on here now.

There was a massive difference in speeds in the two incidents though, Webber never got his nose in front, Hamilton did. That makes a huge difference for a start, as it completely changes the dynamics of what is an acceptable manoeuvre to defend with.

When you're still in front/level there is nothing wrong with holding your line, if someone wants to leave themselves on the outside in a gap that's going to get smaller, that's their own choice. If you're behind at that point though, you don't really have so much claim to hold the line. That's why Hamilton held his line and Alonso didn't, because Alonso was already behind by that point.

Shame for Button, could have challenged Vettel for 5th.

Mike_P · 24 Jul 2011 at 14:09

yep that 2 laps now the gap's been stable, hammy holding position or has he done his tyres lol

Mike_P · 24 Jul 2011 at 14:12

sector times are a bit erratic, difficult to spot a trend.. good lap for hammy there...

Vettel loses time at the chicane. Not his day is it...

Kenai · 24 Jul 2011 at 14:13

Vettel is not doing well in the 'not leading from lap 1' situation.

Pigeon_Killer · 24 Jul 2011 at 14:13

Vettel looks like he's struggling to stop.

Berger · 24 Jul 2011 at 14:13

Heh, what I was expecting, team telling Hamilton to save tyres.

Long may it continue.

Some good battles on track up and down the order.

Freakbro · 24 Jul 2011 at 14:15

With Vettel he had to change his brake bias due to rear brake issue, so I guess that's what was causing him to lock up.

Back to optimum setting now

Indy500 · 24 Jul 2011 at 14:15

Toro Rosso traffic in front of Massa...

Merlin5 · 24 Jul 2011 at 14:16

Amazing how vettel was in this unburstable bubble since the season start, and now ironically might not get on the podium for his home crowd. I think he'll show his frustration at the end too.

Mike_P · 24 Jul 2011 at 14:17

front 5 all lapping within 0.3 of each other

dannyjo22 · 24 Jul 2011 at 14:17

Wow a non balance interview.
