"Brilliant job on the Sauber, Jenson, all the cars ahead of you are on older tires... they're yours for the taking.

Button is likely going to win... maybe.

We'll see, Nico will put up a fight, this is a good race for him. Lewis is moving quick as well. I could see the two Mclaren in some order on the podium.
 
Haha, radio message goes out to Massa ("Fernando is on a different strategy"), Fernando passes.
 
ZOMG team orders!

Also, Karthikeyan is not last on track. This race is getting weirder and weirder.
 
I wonder... is Rosberg going to gamble on a two stopper? Or are they stretching this one so they can go back on the softs on the next set?

By the way, the marbles on the track are insane... off-line down some of those straights looks like a gravel trap.
 
Sadly, (and I'm saying this as a Button fan) it looks like Button is going to win. Damn, I'd love to see Rosberg climb on the top step.

Why? They are on completely different strategies, fighting wouldn't benefit massa in any way.

I hate team orders, I think that letting the drivers scrap it out is the best policy. If they take each other out, it's their fault.

Maybe they have figured a way to stretch the tires unlike the previous GP where the tires seem to fall of the map.
 
Looks like a definite dry line has formed in areas of the track.

This isn't even a wet race....

Edit: Rosberg is on a two stop strategy.
 
Maybe they've simplified the Ferrari secret code now, the message starts with "Fernando", and ends with "You",

Only because Kovalainen had a lengthy delay during his pit stop.
 
Button gains 2.1 seconds in one lap.

And as I write, Mercedes crew out in the pits. ...Or are they?
 
Rosberg must now DEFINITELY be on a different strategy. When he pits now, he'll be behind both McLarens, for sure. Hamilton is coming up hard behind Perez and will certainly pass within the next two laps.

Webber tries one on Hamilton, but no way he's going to make that stick.

This.

And he pits as I type... Button leads. McLaren's quality is shining through.
