I can see how Grosjean isn't happy about a swap only on lap six...but yeah
 
So last week's race was a fluke, seems we're back to the good old follow the leader format...

Anyone else in North America planning staying up to watch live? I hate waking up and being late to the thread. So much so that I must watch live lol

Yeah I'm watching it live. Last night however I feel asleep before Q2 was finished. :)
 
Good to see that Max had an advantage for one whole lap on his Ultrasofts.

I am, mainly because I'm usually still up at this time every night anyways, lol.
 
Both RedBulls on mediums. So 1 stopper? The expert analysists expected soft,ultrasoft...

RedBull deserves the price for "teamwork under stress"


Huh: Hamilton also already pitted. Did not expect that. I stop to try to understand the strategy of tires.
 
Both Red Bull pit on same lap for mediums.

Could be something interesting in a quite a dull race so far.
 
What are Ferrari doing?
 
Kimi after pit P6? Undercut is uppercut

Who can explain? Why does Kimi stay out that long? To hold up Bottas and give Vettel the chance to close the gap? Kimi not happy!

He just passed the pit entry and couple of seconds later both RedBulls and Kimi could pit.
ANd if he pits now he will fall back too far?

Edit: sorry wrong:Ham was behind Max so mixed up with Bottas

Nah, Merc were sleeping.
 
Hamilton not happy about his lack of new tyres
 
Good for Max that teammate Daniel could overtake Kimi. Now lets see if the newer tires have an advantage
 
Whoa Max got a bit too keen there!
 
Riccardo with an awesome pass!
 
We have 3 teams able to go for a win.

Rare.
 
Merc have totally screwed this up for Hamilton by not pitting him. Kudos for RBR for engaging their brain when Safety Car was called.
