That Red Bull is mighty. They've basically done a whole pitstop advantage over Raikkonen within 15 laps. At this rate they could 4-stop and still win.

Raikkonen looks bang on for a 2 stop OPP, Red Bulls look bang on target for OPPP.

If they're really holding back they could still do a 2 stop with all those new tyres?

Perez looks like he's having to take multiple stabs at the turn-in

I don't think so. I think they'd have to back off and lose too much laptime to make a two-stop work. I think their fastest grand prix distance will be done with a 3-stop.

Vettel will win this unless there is a technical problem. Alonso should not have touched his DRS after the first stop. It was obvious that the wing element would flip over again. He lost some potential positions and points there.

Not for nothing, Rosberg's Championship is the only thing that lends credibility to Hamilton's recent success. Otherwise, he'd just be the guy who's had the best car. — bhall II

I need to see a reply, but it looked like Button pulled the trick of slowing down a bit on the corner to get Perez out of the throttle.

I find Perez very underwhelming at Mclaren.

Red Bull sounds rather desperate to get Seb to slow down from his stellar pace.
