Why in gods name did they pit Hamilton that early? Defeated the whole point of running the Ultras in Q2.
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 am baffled. Unless he does have an issue with the engine and they are in damage limitation mode or something? Really cant explain what i am seeing.

Bottas is driving impressive though. Go Valtteri!

Edit: ok PU problem confirmed.

Pitted early helped fixing the PU issue? How's that possible?

I can only assume it was to change the cooling configuration during the pitstop because things were getting too hot.

You are right on the money regarding cooling. Orf broadcast just confirmed it via Mercedes.

So everything's okay right now? Laptime seems decent. But still it's awful to watch.

Vettel still a purple s3... how's that possible on 37 old Ultra tires. For sure impressive!

He's unstoppable. So it seems PU did make a lot of impact. Kudos
