Poll: United States Grand Prix 2016, Austin - Race 18/21

[Glaucus]

Keeping the same driver number was such a good idea, so much easier yo see which driver is in the car. Rather than trying to rember who has the bright camera pod.

Rosberg to get pit priority, just you see

 

[Flibster]

When Rosberg is losing 0.6s per lap, stacking may not be necessary.

 

[UTmaniac]

What? Max pits his softs end of lap 10?

 

[muon]

This could go badly for Rosberg if the Softs are going away.

 

[utajoker]

early stops for all on softs?

 

[Deleted member 651465]

Each time the Hamilton radio graphic comes up, my heart stops.

 

[muon]

Yep, they must be going.

 

[Flibster]

New medium tyre for Rosberg

Hamilton still the fastest guy on track. No need to bring him in yet.

[Vertigo]

So only Mercedes one-stopping then?

 

[Vertigo]

Oooh only Rosberg on mediums!!

 

[Flibster]

Hamilton pits. New soft tyres for him.

Mercedes finally splitting strategies.

 

[muon]

So only Mercedes one-stopping then?

Rosberg must be 2 stopping.

edit:

and Hamilton as well.

edit2:

How is splitting the strategy good for Hamilton? He has everything to lose now.

If he gets beaten by Rosberg...

 

[UTmaniac]

Oooh only Rosberg on mediums!!

Ocon started the race on mediums I think, from dead last.

Split strategy at Mercedes, a tiny sprinkle of spice.

 

[drunkenmaster]

Surprised they brought him in, gap was huge, was it even growing? Putting Rosberg into less stops now seems, odd, while also giving him the benefit of gaining a couple seconds on Hamilton by pitting him first. If after the final stops Rosberg is a second ahead or breathing down Hamilton's neck I'd be crazy angry at that decision.

 

[Vertigo]

Kimi half asleep

10 second penalty for Kvyat. Causing a collision.

I mean of the front-runners. Don't care about backmarkers

Needs a lifetime penalty for being generally useless.
