Sebastian Vettel converted a two stop strategy into another race win, further increasing his championship lead. Mark Webber ended second on a three stopper while Romain Grosjean completed the podium for Lotus.
Webber was never gonna survive with the tire saving of the Lotus and Vettel. Only chance he had was to make the 3-stop work. Had he overtaken RG, he'd be all over Vettel, but despite being on the mediums, he did a lot worse then Vettel while trying to overtake......Joie de vivre wrote:i really dont know what to say about this team ... how can anyone like them?
Come on matt, they never will put Vettel in such a stupid strategy. Poor RicciardoLionKing wrote:IF they had put Vettel on 3 stops, Webber on 2 people would have still complained that they put Vettel on faster strategy
Go figure....
Actually he was only 8 Secs behind, going 1 sec quicker per lap. He just failed to pass RomainJoie de vivre wrote:having 13 sec advantage 11 laps to go ... figure it out yourself. he had to be more than second faster just to catch him
utter crap
Im not sure he just failed to pass Romain...RBR know what they doing,im sure they knew that when Webber would catch Grosjean his options would be already taken the nessesary juice out of them...Mandrake wrote:Actually he was only 8 Secs behind, going 1 sec quicker per lap.

You are kidding, isn't it? It reminds me a song from Nirvana: "If you fool yourself you will make you happy"Traction wrote:Superb race by the reigning Boss on the track!! Well done Seb great management of the car, patience was the key. Did what was needed, understanding the race situation showed massive maturity.
Webber showing why he has always been rated no. Two, his win was in his hands but he blew it by not using the best car on the track with tyres 10 laps fresher to get past Grosjean. Seb blew past him really quickly. Some might say that the strategy was geared to advantage Seb over Webber but if truth be told if Webber got past Grosjean quickly Seb would have been under massive pressure from mark with fresh mediums.
Fantastic race by Grosjean! he's getting better and better,
Seb marches on!
I guess it wasn't the team who screwed Webbers race. They had to pit him that early (for second stop) since his tyres were dead. If they hadn't pitted him at this point people would also say that RB screwed him... He was close to vettel today but not faster.zeph wrote:I know. I really dislike RBR. I can't blame them for thinking about the WDC, but Webber was clearly the faster driver today. If your own team screws you out of a win like that, I don't know...
