Wehrlein the only other person still on the full wets and it currently sat in 13th.

Ericcson pits and sticks on a set of new Ultrasoft tyres.

that is wat merc were waiting for, someone to test the slicks out for them.

Here we go then Saubers on ultra softs so we've got a yardstick.

Riccys not gonna do anything daft, just sit behind till Hamilton pits.

You do realise if Hamilton pits onto slicks and slicks are faster he'll likely go to the end of the race and Riccy loses the win?

This is good stuff by Hamilton, very well played.

He needs to pit at the same time. If Hamilton pits when it is dry, Ricciardo will lose out.

As the mentioned earlier Ricciardo should undercut Hamilton when he can.

Erikkson is the Ultras guinea pig.

Flibster · 29 May 2016 at 13:54

Loads of others pitting too.

Perez and Button on new softs and Magnussen on new super softs.

Hes not racing Ricciardo, this is about beating Rosberg.

Genius if Mercedes pull this off!

Skeeter · 29 May 2016 at 13:55

On balls! They have fitted Ultra softs! That's another stop then

Flibster · 29 May 2016 at 13:55

Warning.... Alonso is in 3rd!

Suspect engine failure incoming in 5...

4....

3....

utajoker · 29 May 2016 at 13:55

ultras bit of a risk, should have gone super soft i think.

CaptainRAVE · 29 May 2016 at 13:55

Hamilton needs to win this with some others beating Rosberg.

Which means SS wouldn't have gone all the way.

Mercedes had nothing to do with it. This is all Hamilton. Mercedes should have let him go 5 laps earlier.

I don't know why people think that. This is a very soft track on tires, there is a decent chance they'll go to the end. soft/supersofts in previous years the pit stops were tactical rather than tires going off.

Flibster · 29 May 2016 at 13:56

Ricciardo pits after a really fast middle sector. No tyres ready for him, he's going to lose out to Hamilton.

Putting on Super softs... may allow him to go to the end and Hamilton may will need another stop.

Psycho Ned · 29 May 2016 at 13:56

OMG WTF Red Bull :eek:

CaptainRAVE · 29 May 2016 at 13:56

Hahaha, tyres not ready!!!
