@zgred - yeah they've all been doing it.

Sure? I doubt.

Get fight between the McLaren guys. Nice clean fun.

100% positive. Vettel did it, as did Alonso. Probably others.

20 laps to go.....really do the McLaren's need to pit again ?

Here goes Hamilton !!!

They need to use the hard tyres. They'll do a very short final stint and hope to attack Vettel on very worn tyres.

Is it ok to cross white line there?

He's being investigated but as it was into no mans land and not onto the track a penalty would be the wrong decision. According to the Radio 5 commentary drivers have been doing this all weekend.

Purely tyres, Button has just pitted and got it right this time.

They need to get a wriggle on then.

Rosberg just got a message saying that fuel is critical.

That'll be Hamilton getting past shortly as Rosberg will have to slow.

Why is the DRS-system causing so much trouble for so many drivers? Michael has had problems both this weekend and last weekend as well, and apparently Alonso is having problems with it right now as well.

Because it's an entirely new system that hasn't seen use in F1 before?

Because the overly simplistic view most people take on these items doesn't actually reflect actuality?

Bit of both, I think.

You can develop new components quickly, you can make them reliable, and you can make them lightweight. Pick two. In F1, you need all three.

Amazing final half of the race by Hamilton. Overtaken Button, Rosberg and now Massa. He will certainly close on Vettel as well, hope his tyres hold out.

Button making his way through as well. McLaren doing really well in this phase.

All thanks to these ruddy Pirellis. Massa's tyres are shot and Vettel's havn't got long to go.

Yes, it's great that the tyres are giving different strategies a shot!

I disagree. It is completely false. The racing should be done on the track and not in the garage before the race.

Incidently, Vettel's radio is knackered. I wonder if Red Bull were on a 3 stop all along but they can't hear Vettel, now it is too late to pull him in.
