IMO they left it a little late with switching to a two stop. If he pits now, he will be a long way behind Max but ahead of Vettel.
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

It may have been too early considering lewis tyres were bad after 20 laps. There were a good 25 to go at the point you reckon they should have pitted

Looks almost like Red Bull could decide if Hamilton wins the WDC

Crushing the lap record haha.

It’s obvious that when the gap dropped to 15/16 secs they should have pitted. 12 secs to Kimi or 4/5 secs, both situations have Kimi/ves to pass. Durrrrr
