Ric will get Seb before the end. Unless he ruins his tyres completely, which is unlikely.

he'll ruin his tires by the time he catches vettel

[Red is Best]

Lol Ricciardo doing qualifying laps.

[DelMar]

Very very difficult to pass a Merc car even with DRS. What an engine..

good way to wear those tires....so when he'll have no tires left to pass SEB

[stefa]

SV is now slowest of first four cars

"My left rear is so f****** poor it's unbelievable!" Seventh placed Raikkonen has spent much of the afternoon unhappy with his Ferrari's tyres. Odd that he went for another set of mediums at that second stop given his complaints.

[KurtC]

Kvyat was penalized for leaving the track but lewis cut 2 corners in the start and he got away with it nice one marshalls

[vcs316]

"Nice job mate, keep pushing, tyres will be good to the end," Ricciardo is told. Lap 55/71.

[Schumiklub]

There he goes again, blue flags, blue flags. :D

SV is now slowest of first four cars

prolly saving tires....to defend when RIc arrives with his "old by then" tirer

[Kyss4k]

Oh well, we are bad with the mediums. How it did look great on the softs, it's quite the opposite on the white rubber.

And no one will be pitting for another set.

[Schumiklub]

At least Ric is gaining less and less and Seb is starting to catch Ves.

well it's mandatory to use another compound durign the race...so we couldn't really used he SUPER SOFT as we'd have to do prolly 4 stops....lol
deff our car does not like the medium...

[FerrariF60]

At least Ric is gaining less and less and Seb is starting to catch Ves.

catch Ves??? u serious?? he's quite a bit down....and if he'll catch, we'll see if he can actually pass VES

[wacc]

the gap to VES is 4 sec. not 15

[Schumiklub]

catch Ves??? u serious?? he's 15 seconds down the road...Seb will NEVER catch Ves....let alone pass him

Verstappen is only 4s in front of Vettel.

[Red is Best]

Actually Vettel's pace on the mediums is good. If it wasn't for these 10 laps spent behind Massa he would be on the podium today.

[stefa]

At one point it looked like race is going to be interesting.... borefest!

[FerrariF60]

the gap to VES is 4 sec. not 15

still....we'll see if Seb has the guts to pass him

[KurtC]

[Schumiklub]

We'll still have to worry about Ric.

[IulianFerrari]

[Red is Best]

Come on Seb you can do it!

[FerrariF60]

Vet on attack mode

yup, let's get that last spot on the podium

[Kyss4k]

Last laps will be tense

[erinha]

Ferrari gave Ricciardo a free pit stop by pitting Raikkonen instead of keeping him there and ordering Vettel ahead. Now Ricciardo can catch him.
