Good stop!

CaptainRAVE · 23 Sep 2012 at 13:28

Wow, look at all that clean air! Great for Hamilton.

Psycho Ned · 23 Sep 2012 at 13:28

Beat all the traffic out so good stop for Hammy.

Flibster · 23 Sep 2012 at 13:28

Good stop for Hamilton.

Out in front of Raikkonen and Vettel. That'll help him.

utajoker · 23 Sep 2012 at 13:28

worked out well for hamilton with kimi holding up vettel.

knip · 23 Sep 2012 at 13:28

And he's out in front of the dirty german

maun · 23 Sep 2012 at 13:28

Hamilton must have lost a lot of time. On the plus side, Vettel is going to have taken life out of those tyres.

Kenai · 23 Sep 2012 at 13:29

Button will hopefully just nip behind Kimi, rather than at the back of all that traffic

Trouble is, pitting him when Vettel went in would have dumped him into traffic, they were probably trying to avoid that, rock and a hard place

McLaren have managed to drop him into something like a 10 second gap.

Tenzo · 23 Sep 2012 at 13:29

Now for lr button

Glaucus · 23 Sep 2012 at 13:29

jB has no choice but to do 2-6 more lap and two stop,

CaptainRAVE · 23 Sep 2012 at 13:30

Button really needs to pit now.

Indeed, turned out well, the tyres were dropping off but still quick enough to avoid the traffic - a good call by McLaren for once

Tenzo · 23 Sep 2012 at 13:30

Hopefully Vettel took a lot out of his tyres getting through that traffic

smr · 23 Sep 2012 at 13:30

Ted talking bull. Jenson to win. This ist Ferrari.

CaptainRAVE · 23 Sep 2012 at 13:31

Button is definitely in a good position come the final stops.

You don't watch much F1 do you?

I watch it plenty. Generally there is at least a battle somewhere on track or some early contact that means people have to fight back for proper grid position rather than trying to overtake people who are just on differ pit stops.

But I thought races determined by on tack action because of differing tyre wear were random and unpredictable and rubbish?

At least unpredictable is exciting.
