He drove fantastic? He crashed into someone, then into a stationary board, and then gained a bunch of places from other people's disasters...

Vettel must run the softer compound yet. He has done two set of yellow tyres by now. So he will make a very late stop to comply.
He started on the mediums, he's now on the softs. He doesn't HAVE to stop again, but probably will need to.

I don't think Massa was at fault. Racing incident, but looked like Webber left the track...

he should stop if not at the end in last 5 laps he can lose more than 2-3 sec per lap

btw: Mercedes no pace on softs!!! Michael is slower than Sauber and Massa with brand new tires

Vettel's now 3 - 4 tenths off the pace on those old tyres, and that's just going to get worse.

Would be very ironic if Vettel does make it to the end on those tyres, with a strategy dictated to him by making a mistake and driving into a static DRS marker board.

Conclusive proof that Vettel can race last to at least a points position with all the incidents he has had too..... :twisted:
And so you touch this limit, something happens and you suddenly can go a little bit further. With your mind power, your determination, your instinct, and the experience as well, you can fly very high.

If he stays on those tyers too long he will be swamped. lap 45 or so will be big decision from Red Bull. Like Ferrari in Canada.
