Because the person coming in sooner is always going to be quicker due to having fresh tyres as opposed to worn soft tyres

Not for the first lap. That's why they usually stay out for one last flyer.

Come on Hammy....pass that **** Vettel then chase that Aussie down and put the smackdown on him

englishpremier · 30 May 2010 at 13:36

It's simple though, you have cue the cars up behind each each other. In that case Vettel and Button will lose out.

They should use misdirection then. Bring the mecanics out at random times and/or a few laps before the real stop happens.

I don't think they are allowed to do that.

If it rains, Button has to fancy his chances as he might be able to make a good strategic decision.

Are you watching the same GP as everyone else? The McLaren is miles quicker in a straight line than the Red Bull. The rain could prove interesting though, looks quite heavy from the pictures but by the time it gets to the track & given the temp is it going to cause that much of an issue.

The downshifts in the McLaren could be down the gearing, Martin.

Even in the rain, RedBulls are the fastest car. The problem is that when it rains, the driver has a greater input into the lap times the car produces. This is where Hamilton is able to show his superior speed. The problem for Hamilton is that he doesnt his strategic decisions are poor, so he relies on McLaren, how are equally poor. This means, Hamilton has to use raw pace to win and not strategy.
