stay in front of Rosberg till lap 30 then pit for softs... count the one lap behind the safety car and probably about 3 more behind the safety car when the race restarts and vettel should easily get to lap 30 without too much stress... thats the theory anyway lol
edit: oops forgot they could change tires during the red flag

I wonder if they'll release the high speed camera footage that's ordained to study precisely this?

It will be old mediums vs newer softs on the Ferrari to decide this one. Assuming no more saftey cars.

Rosberg has got this in the bag, Vettel second and Lewis 3rd (maybe), painfully unlucky for Kimi again.

Ricciardo comfortably faster than STRs on the same tires. There's a little surprise.

I was never fan of Ferrari's Strategy anyway... why didn't they simply put the Mediums or eveen Softs on Vettels car during the Red Flag ?...
They surely lost this... lucky Rosberg #-o

When they first showed the footage of the crash, I did not recognize that it was a McLaren. For Alonso to walk out of that relatively unhurt speaks volumes of how far Formula 1 safety has gone.
