The funny thing... Massa behind Alonso is on for a two-stopper only in 5th... those two Ferraris are up well into the points on pure pace. How did that happen?
 
Come on Nico, push my son, push.
 
Merc GP guys need to go over to the McLaren stall and ask them how they do that in the pits.
 
Hamilton and Alonso are in the pits they come out in 10th and 11th.
 
Who said you cannot wkeelie a formula 1 car.

I'm not surprised at Alonso, but Massa? It's Smedley-craft!

Arggh, Jenson :(
 
Button with problems in pit! Yes!

Edit: Ring ding ding ding ding ding ding! :lol:
 
Rosberg is just 7 seconds behind Button, so the Merc will have a reasonable lead once Button pits.

It could all come down to the Merc's top gear vs. that of the McLaren, and we know the Mercs have good straight line speed.
 
Last year Red Bull shoulda changed the slogan to "Gives You Wins", this year, it's CLEARLY back to "Wings"

Button SLOW STOP!!!
 
Jenson very slow stop?!
Good for Nico. ;)
 
Shame for Button, that's let Rosberg off of the hook though!
 
Button has a lengthy pit stop that might cost him.
 
McLaren scuppers Button's stop. He loses six seconds to Nico Rosberg. Problems with the rear left jack.

He's twenty behind. Still doable, but it'll be difficult.
 
Aaaaaand it's over for Button.

Schumacher paid the McLaren boys a visit and made sure that stop was slow... (!)
 
NOOOOOOOOOO, why does bad luck always haunt the Mclaren pit boys.

Rosberg STILL has a fresh set of SOFT tyres, even if he pits, he should be able to pass Button.

It would be more doable if not for the traffic that Jenson is now in... must be very frustrating :guilty:

Incredible race though, so close in the top ten...
 
Vettel pushing like hell.
 
As much as I did Rosber predictions for podium or win this year and last year more so, the one GP I don't predict on for the competition and it looks like Rosberg will win.

Rosberg is my dark horse.
 
Good tyre management from Massa, makes you wonder how he'd do in the Sauber...
 
So, no more stops for Rosberg then?

Yeah, Norbert Haug & Ross Brawn told McLaren "Slow stop, or no more engines". Lol

Nope, straight to the end..
 
Interesting. Button behind Vettel... Hamilton somehow behind Webber, both with three stops... Webber looks like he has a good shot at a podium. He will have worse tires at the end of the race, but he's still got a chance of holding off Lewis.

Rosberg's win seems assured. Things now going badly for McLaren.
