Monaco Grand Prix 2014, Monte Carlo - Race 6/19

The pits will decide this. They are so evenly matched in terms of pace that it is going to come down to who has the best pit stops.

Not necessarily pit stop speed itself but what each can do on-track whilst the other pits. If Rosberg goes in first and Lewis puts in a blinder lap or two...
 
Thing is Hamilton can't pit till he can hit clear air for sure, and Rosberg will get to that point first.

One thing Hamilton could do is, if Rosberg was aiming for one stop at say lap 30ish, Hamilton could come in at lap 20 and do an extra stint on super softs and burn the hell around the track like he just don't care. He would still presumably end up behind Rosberg after the second stop but be on significantly fresher tires at the end and maybe have hte traction to get him down the straight... maybe. No worse than being behind him now though.
 
My girlfriend says weaving to warm the tyres at the start is pointless as it doesn't heat them up. Showed her the thermal image - no heat in a straight line, plenty when the car is turning. She still won't have it even with blatant evidence on the screen. Women.
