Too long... i knew they'd do this

....hmmm, just managed past Alonso

Hamilton pits. Will come out 4th in all probability.

DC talking carp again. Pit time is ~20s, but you've got to take the normal time away from that.

Flibster · 22 May 2011 at 13:38

WOW!

Sub 4 second stop did it got Hamilton.

Mike_P · 22 May 2011 at 13:39

so much for the 20sec pitstop

Flibster · 22 May 2011 at 13:39

Can we hear Alonso's pit radio please?

utajoker · 22 May 2011 at 13:40

this could get interesting on the last stint. hamilton has done and extra couple of laps at each stop over vettel so his tyres should last longer, could make a difference in the last stint on the hards.

Hamiltons 3rd sector there 5 tenths faster than Vettels Alonsos or Webbers

Mike_P · 22 May 2011 at 13:40

go hammy... lets hope alonso and webber slow each other up fighting

Katoom · 22 May 2011 at 13:41

Only hope for Lewis now is to maybe reel him in at the end with fresher tires.

Phreaky · 22 May 2011 at 13:41

Could Hamilton pull this back?

Kenai · 22 May 2011 at 13:41

How close is Button keeping for a 3 stop to work? Is he even remotely in contention?

Setroc · 22 May 2011 at 13:41

Hamilton catches a whole 7 tenths in that last lap!

therealnerd2 · 22 May 2011 at 13:42

There's probably been loads of exciting stuff going on further back in the field, but I can't even figure out the top-4, let alone the rest of them..

Red Bull have done a good job of getting Vettel in front at the cost of Webber.

No. The hard is so slow he's not got a chance. He's already 7 seconds behind the group, with them all having stopped once more.

alonso+webber tooling around in mid 29's

Haha, so true. It's really hard to tell who has had the advantage at the front a number of times.

red bull have done an excellent job of getting webber out of the picture for vettel do go for the win

Mike_P · 22 May 2011 at 13:47

vettel slower in last sector
