So no then!

Well, they say you make your own luck.

No denying that he's been able to make up places, during this race, faster than the timing screen can keep track of it!

They can now, I think? Did they not pit and put on the other compound. I don't know if I missed something, I needed the loo

Didn't mean related to the rules.

Simply that Hamilton fitted the primes while most of the others fitted another set of options.

With laps behind the safety car, Hamilton might be able to get to the end while all those on options won't.

Ah I see. What compounds are Nico and Jenson on?

Good move from Lewis. I want him to win this race but it is tough as I also want Nico Hulkenburg to win...

Shagged-out options.

Even if they ALL stop again, the rest will all put on primes and go to the end while Hamilton will be able to fit another set of options so, overall, Hamilton should be faster through the race.

*EDIT*
Alonso REALLY should have fitted primes and just tried to drag it home.
I guess they thought the options would offer better grip and that there'd be more rain.

Being hit at the start of this race wasn't very lucky!

They pitted under the safety car did they not?

A safety car to order eh!!

Debris on the track. Thought it was up to the drivers to avoid it, along with the rest of racing maneuvers?

Hulkenburg and Button 1 & 2 and a minute ahead of the rest .... we can't have that say race officials, how about the old SC trick!

Another stage managed 'excitement' filled F1 championship decider.

Cant see Hulkenberg staying first for the rest of the race.

Whoops, yeah.

Hulkenberg and Button on prime tyres as well so I guess the front 3 might be able to go to the end.

I think Ferrari screwed up by fitting Alonso with the options after the inter's.

Pretty high if it comes down to the wire.

I wouldn't be surprised to see Ferrari try that one.

Hamilton only 1.9 behind Hulkenberg now!
