Not the worst strategy. Had the rain come earlier, it would have paid big dividends.

EDIT: Watching the Sky stream. Do the commentators regularly fellate Hamilton like this?

Ignoring the trolls... What a fabulous race. That one almost made up for the last 3 awful ones. The classic circuits come through to make things fun!

Sounded to me like Hamilton made the call to come in. It was on the radio: "No grip on these tyres, I'm coming in". Presumably Rosberg could have made the same call.

He´s still flying?
And this bloke/gal earlier had the nerve to call me a troll #-o Where is he/she now?

Why would he? Be serious for once, no point in risking and no chance to catch up either.

Big losers this race was Williams and Sauber. Completely botched the race with poor strategy.

Yes and Ham could have made a better call in Monaco too :wink: . Rosberg wanted to come in and he's not making these decisions anyway because (for example) he doesn't know the forecast, where his team mate is (nearest rival) and when he's pitting, does he?

I don't think it's a big deal but denial of basic realities here is annoying as hell.

"first time in my career ive made a call that good"

Does sound like he made the decision. Not sure what Lauda is on about.

Best race of the season, first race that had a bit of tension.

Williams has to be better in protecting the undercut, that was just telegraphed.
Lucky calls for Hamilton and Vettel, just on the nick of time.

Lauda sounded like the first pitstop, the time he undercut Williams

Of course this time because it all worked out it was the drivers call :lol:

None the less a good win for Lewis although it did seem like Rosberg was about to catch him before the rain came..not sure what was going on then..

Aaahh...Kimi...

Vettel....you beauty :lol: :lol: :lol:
