Nice racing for HRT back there. :p
 
Great stuff from Liuzzi. 👍

This race is already fantastic.
 
Vettel pit. Stuck behind the second group.
 
Vettel already fired up now. :)
 
Hamilton has jumped Webber. What a bad start for Webber.
 
Problem for Rubens. >_>;;
 
I swear there's a drawing of a gentleman's object on Buttons' wing :p
 
webber equals worst starter ever, what a joke! Ultimate choker.
 
Not much of overtaking i see here.
Or if it just me. :nervous:
 
Whoops, Fernando...

Wow, I guess the old saying is true: you are your own worst critic.:p

Great pit strategy from Vettel. NOW CATCH HAMILTON!

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...

Oh... A bit late, but... ALONSOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

Aww, Ham just got ahead of Alonso and Webber. :indiff:
 
Vettel going well!

Good race so far!
 
^Yeah, nice gamble.

Close call for Web and Alon.
But Web can past him after the pit though.
After the line.
 
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.
 
Lol, Webber didn't use KERS on the straight. :boggled:
 
Ha. So much for DRS making it too easy to pass! A good race so far but it's all about the tyres.
 
:lol: Astrosdude!

But you gotta hand it to Alonso!!
 
Webber on droping now. Sheesh. :ouch:

Some genius camera work.:grumpy:

Genius is one percent inspiration and ninety nine percent epileptic camera work...

Things are going from bad to worse for Webber, as Button splits him and Alonso.

Poor Mark... No KERS! Maybe they should have changed batteries for both cars...
 
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.
 
Nice defending from Schu. 👍
