Malaysian Grand Prix 2015, Kuala Lumpur - Race 2/19

Hamilton should have decent pace at the end, depends on Vettel's hard tire pace. Rosberg's pace at the end of his stint will likely be pretty horrible. Although longer stints are much easier and faster on less fuel.

EDIT:- the one thing people maybe haven't taken into account at this point is Hamilton having to pass Rosberg as well as Vettel... that would have to go smoothly for him to catch Vettel.
 
People getting too hung up on the tire choice. They weren't slow because the tire was hard earlier in the race, but because they wanted to do 27 laps on it rather than 17 laps. The pace difference in doing a 27 lap or 17 lap stint on the same tire is monumental.
 
Hamilton onto the hard tyres.

He should have used another set of mediums. Did 14 laps on that set, doing a couple more laps on the new set would have got him up there.

Hamilton calls "Wrong tyre" over the radio too.

Vettel does a 1:43.732
