Yes he was posting the fastest times at that point.He was also on soft tyres at this point .
so what do we learn from it ? the merc in rosbergs hands was quick on softs when everyone else was already on hard rubber? in his own words:
"Zunächst schonte ich heute meine Reifen und als ich freie Fahrt hatte, weil die Autos vor mir an den Boxen waren, konnte ich mehrere sehr schnelle Runden fahren."
so ,as he was held up by Barrichello ,he was able to nurse the soft tyres and was able to do some quick laps when he was in clean air...
I don´t get the point here.At the end with low fuel he was not posting quick times ,in fact he was not even close to schumaccher so he could not wring anything out of his later stop .the discussion of relative speeds during the race is useless ,especially in Montecarlo.
they blew it both in Q3 Nico and Michael and its sad to be shown how its done by Kubica ,who found himself a lot of laps without running in traffic.
But really I cannot stand the explanations just why things don´t happen and those what if theories.
I do like that move of Michael in the last corners though and I would love them to get atop of their unability to find the little window in which their silver arrows might operate at 100%.
