I don't think Vettel's KERS is working. That would be why he can't get close to Alonso but he can stay ahead by miles ahead of Webber. Will have to wait till the field spreads out.
Funny. Infographics onscreen show him using it a lot behind Alonso.
Plus, they've loaded a new set of batteries into the car today.
Anyway, the pits have sorted out in Vettel's favor.
EDIT... Hamilton's pit strategy may give him a chance to attack Vettel in a few laps... Depending of course, on how well he can manage the tires over the next three tire stop stints.
If I recall right, he's been pitting later and later than the RBRs over the last few stops...
Great pit stop for Webber. Almost got Alonso there... almost...
Looks like this will be a four stopper... Hamilton's tire strategy might ruin Vettel's race... But it will depend on a lot of factors. The win may be decided by when those two go to the hard tire.
Thats it, not following Webber anymore, he's passed it, no chance of ever becoming world champion, he's had a good career but he doesn't have the talent and that killer instinct, like Alonso and Hamilton do.
Button is on soft tyres. I think Hamilton is as well. That means they will be vulnerable in the last stint on the hard tyres. The drivers on hard tyres now are getting that slow period out of the way. That's why Button passed Webber and Alonso. They will finish strongly on soft tyres.
