Should Mercedes have brought in Hamilton for the tyre change too? Maybe a bad decision?
That'll cost him the win I think.

Definitely, the best for Hamilton now is fourth ahead of Vettel.
If you are more fortunate than others, build a larger table not a taller fence.

Hamilton could go long now and then switch on to the US for a final very fast stint to try to pass on track. Which might make for an exciting final few laps...

Mercedes just don’t seem to be able to think on their feet.

It seems to be ‘Erm...........’ Opps it’s to late.


Edit. Yep what an utter cockup.

As long as Lewis will stay virtually ahead of Seb, he can win the race. The Mecedes engine is delivering at his pic. Good pit.

That confirms it - they are only racing Vettel. The race win is secondary at this point.

3 DRS zones the job will be done by Lewis. Race is still long

Indeed so - having screwed up, they are now trying to keep the title race in their favour.
