[CaptainRAVE]

Great, one massive tyre management fest

 

[PinkFloyd]

Remember that time when Webber managed to get a good start? No me neither...

 

[Flibster]

Button's first complaint comes on lap 6...

Can't get any heat into the tyres.

 

[knip]

Even though I don't like Fred, credit to him for that bit of driving on the opening lap

 

[Flibster]

Ok, Button is currently slower than Guido Van Der Garde.



Button, the tyre master...

Button's first complaint comes on lap 6...

Can't get any heat into the tyres.

Would have loved to be his engineer I'd tell him to drive faster.

 

[Flibster]

Webber pits on lap 7

 

[MagicBoy]

Tyres made of cheese?

 

[Irish_Tom]

Hamilton a sitting duck, what's going on?

 

[MagicBoy]

FatJohn's clouted something?

 

[Flibster]

Webber out on new hard tyres.
Massa - used hards
Hulkenberg - used mediums
Maldonado - new hards
Sutil - new mediums

 

[knip]

I think that Fat John be broke

 

[CaptainRAVE]

Fatjohn in an accident? Who would have thought it.

 

[MagicBoy]

Not me. He's been a good lad this year.

 

[Flibster]

Alonso - used hards
Hamilton - new hards
Di Resta - new hards

So, yup. Tyres still cack.

 

[MagicBoy]

Go on Fred. Hit that finger.

 

[Flibster]

Maldonado under investigation - speeding in the pit lane

Rosberg - new hards
Vettel - new hards
Raikkonen - used mediums

 

[Flibster]

Drive through for Maldonado. Speeding in the pit lane.

 

[Kenai]

Maldonado under investigation - speeding in the pit lane

Oh, that's a complicated one, i'm amazed they didn't leave it until after the race to dish out a penalty

 

[Flibster]

Button pits and comes out on new hards - expect a complaint in half a dozen laps...
