How did Raikkonen pull away from Grosjean so fast?

no he just needs to look after his tyres, its very difficult to pass here.
If its difficult to pass, he should build a gap over KR.

Brundle says the rain light is nothing to worry about for Hamilton.

I don't think Kimi is going to catch Lewis unless something unusual happens.

He may well pit again, we don't know how long these tyres will last.

Good point.

There's still 8 laps to go.

If his tires start dropping off, I think it'll be around 65 or 66.

Here's a prediction: as every single late race charge has failed this year due to degrading tyres, so will Raikkonen's otherwise brilliant drive be wasted. When will these engineers understand you have to pass the second you catch up...

Maldonado was clearly at fault, shoved the FI clear off the the track.
Raikkonen just reporting his only chance is Hamilton's tyres going off. Case in point.

Is Vettel at an advantage now? Can he do what Hamilton did in Canada?

Doubtful he'll pit now, slowly but surely, looking after those tyres.... yawn.

Uhhh, why? If it's difficult to pass, he should conserve his tyres so that he doesn't run out at the end, and be safe in the knowledge that kimi isn't coming past.
