    Ham is trying to get Ros as well, has enough time if he does 2 sec per lap faster

    And how do you propose we stayed in front of him always? If we pitted Lewis would have clear air, when Lewis pitted he had clear air to pass us anyway. Only way to keep him behind is pit on the same lap which off course is impossible.

    we need to keep an eye on Bottas, 8 secs behind us. It seems like Williams made a good gain with their upgrades

    In hindsight it easy to criticise the strategy but my experience says no strategy will work if car is not fast enough. Merc do have a better car, Seb & Team doing well but unfortunately not good enough

    Merc is bloody fast...In clean air they are pure savage but behind Vettel they just COULDNT pass them, like Vettel and Bottas in Bahrain so why give track position away? Make him eat his tires up, not give him clean track...

    And how do you do that? If we pitted first then Lewis stays out.

    He had clean air first pit stop as well, Vettel still went ahead. We had 1.5s before Ham pittet for 3.4s. We COULD get infront of him...it was obvious Hamilton couldnt pass because of dirty air. Should went with tried and tested and whatever happened...anyway hopefully 3-4 is possible.

    Gave up on second? No way we could have taken second with a pace like that from mercs. They are mighty fast
    Red is the only color!!!

    Not only are they way faster by a mile than us, they also have bulletproof reliability which only adds to the problems.

    Lewis had a slow 1st pit stop due to the rear left not going on.

    At least it was hard for Ham to pass when he's behind Seb.

    2nd one wasnt fast either. We would NEVER lose 2 seconds in one lap to Hamilton, plus our 2nd pit was 2.2s so that would mean that Ham would have to be 3s fasrer on one lap, so no way...

    We dont obviously, but Hamitlon COULDNT pass Vettel in dirty air, he said it himself few times on TR. Fact is, Vettel would come ahead Hamilton if he pitted like last time, and then even if Hamilton would close him down (like Raikkonen is doing to Bottas now) he MAYBE wouldnt be able to pass. He probably would, but giving Ham clean air for 10-15 laps was sucidal...

    Strange that our drivers are so partial to different tyres - Seb quicker than Kimi on mediums, Kimi quicker than Seb on hards.
