Just not quick enough basically, that's what it comees down to. Strategy is good for giving you the jump on similar guys, but at the end of the day that ferrari isn't up with the mclaren and red bull.

I suppose amply demonstrated by Massa just getting lapped

Red Bull once again show that their race pace isn't significantly faster than the McLarens or Ferraris

Kenai · 22 May 2011 at 14:11

No KERS

IN FOR THE KILL HAMILTON, IN FOR THE KILL!

Phreaky · 22 May 2011 at 14:11

KERS dead on Vettel, this could get interesting.

Psycho Ned · 22 May 2011 at 14:11

Red Bulls ***** kers breaks again! Thank god it don't work properly else they would be totally dominating!

Setroc · 22 May 2011 at 14:12

Alright, Vettel with no kers, Hamilton 5 tenths faster in the clean air of the last lap again. 1.8 seconds in it. It's on.

Jono8 · 22 May 2011 at 14:12

Hamilton might win

Alonso doomed

Excellent

awaybreaktoday · 22 May 2011 at 14:12

Ham the bam can win this...

The_Abyss · 22 May 2011 at 14:12

Working out reasonably well for Jenson now. The Red Bull is only equal when it doesn't have KERS.

I think it's because they're using French made KERS. It's a joint project with Renault. Good old French build quality.

They need to talk to Duracell to get some decent batteries. Hell, even Ikea batteries may be an improvement.

ham and vet are a completely different class to everyone else.......

Mike_P · 22 May 2011 at 14:15

hmm hammy wasnt quicker in sec 3 that lap... and slower in sec 2 this lap

mmj_uk · 22 May 2011 at 14:16

All the cars who made pitstops to cover other cars are in bad shape for the last stint and having to do too many laps (ie. Alonso)

Flibster · 22 May 2011 at 14:16

Webber out onto the hard tyres.
Vettel coming in now. Onto the hards too.

Mike_P · 22 May 2011 at 14:16

hammy's tyres might be on the way out, sec 3 getting slower

Kenai · 22 May 2011 at 14:16

Go on Hamilton, pump a few in

therealnerd2 · 22 May 2011 at 14:16

OK, this is nuts. Everyone doing two stints on hard???? Crikey.

Surely all lewis need to do is hang on for 4 more laps then go to softs. I don't understand

Maybe no softs left.

Tweaker · 22 May 2011 at 14:16

Pit crews are amazing, so fast

Kenai · 22 May 2011 at 14:17

So Button on hards but so are Alonso and Webber, the main two who would be attacking him, who we assumed would be on softs.

He might just get away with this.

Phreaky · 22 May 2011 at 14:18

Vettel should have this now.
