well kimi is back in the game at least behing rosberg, and lewis need to overtake 3 cars ahead , let's hope no more SC after this...

**Scuderia85** · 20th March 2016, 05:43

Great that GUT ask about Fernado directly
Is he ok?

**bondilad** · 20th March 2016, 05:43

Really glad Alonso is ok.

Worried about the mercs pace on mediums though.

**mizf1** · 20th March 2016, 05:43

hamilton now has 2 Torro Rossos in front of him wh most likely change to new tyres aswell so that may help

**DJTaurus** · 20th March 2016, 05:43

Str is clearly the 3rd fastest team....

**Scuderia85** · 20th March 2016, 05:44

Yes

**Scuderia85** · 20th March 2016, 05:44

Hamster will be on Super soft?

**mizf1** · 20th March 2016, 05:44

does anyone know ow many new tyres we still have left?

**Kyss4k** · 20th March 2016, 05:44

We'll have to go on softs now and then another softs I guess. The second option is to go medium to the end. But the SS strategy is out of the windnow as all our sets are used now. So now no advantage to Mercs, now it's all about the pace.

**mizf1** · 20th March 2016, 05:45

race starts in 8 mnins

**IulianFerrari** · 20th March 2016, 05:45

When my commentator realized there was another car behind Gutierrez I thought for sure that the driver would not walk out of that and 3 sec later Alonso coming out of the car like it was nothing

**NickEice** · 20th March 2016, 05:46

Glad Fernando is OK. Nasty crash. I just wonder how would the halo have impacted that crash? It sure would have broke. Would it have made it worse for Fernando? After the Quali mess yesterday I just hope the FIA is fully researching this "safety" concept for 2017.

Webber had similar crash 4 years ago, remarkable safety these days

**mizf1** · 20th March 2016, 05:47

we should keep the super softs on Kimi as they are 1 lap old, he can attack rosberg so it allows Vettel to get away

not sure, that be big gamble for him. As they will degrade quicker being behind cars, and he will have lean on them alot more. That will hurt him within, 8 laps.

**mizf1** · 20th March 2016, 05:49

I dont think Merc have any new super softs left as they used them both yday in quali 3

**abbottcostello** · 20th March 2016, 05:49

So happy to see Alonso pop out of that wreck so fast, was pretty shaken up, for sure!

Saying they changed Lewis front wing.

**Scuderia85** · 20th March 2016, 05:50

new front wing for hamster!

Remember that DRS is allow lap one on the restart!

**mizf1** · 20th March 2016, 05:51

we shiuld find out soon what tyres everyone is on

**tifosi1993** · 20th March 2016, 05:52

Glad Alonso is ok. God bless modern day F1 engineering.

**IulianFerrari** · 20th March 2016, 05:52

Can't get over the way that Mclaren looked... What happens in the race will be 2nd interest to me

**Galvonero** · 20th March 2016, 05:52

Ham wason Mediums, with just a few laps. They may take one or two laps to get right temperature, and the pace may be slightly slower than softs, but the key may be on how gentle our car is on the softs, since we have the pace on those.
