It was weird because the fronts were covered until the last second. Possibly overheating the rears?
Always find the gap then use it.

They don't run rake like the other teams and they have very good downforce at the rears, so this is their way of managing the temps. They've done this for several grands prix.

I personally think it would be good for Kimi if somehow Hamilton found a way to slot into second after the start. That way, they would have to give Kimi the best possible chance, also to help Vettel minimize the loss.

If Ferrari are running 1-2, i cant see them allowing Kimi to take the win. Understandabily with the WDC at stake, but it would be such a shame for F1 i think.
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

Yes for Kimi to win that is the only way....
Hope Lewis jumps Vettel at the start

Kimi had a purple S3, I can assure you that those people are not the brightest bunch in the society.

Weird, because by asking that in this context it would put you in the same boat as them.

Ha I can see where this confusion came from. F1 youtube channel initially uploaded the pole onboard with the timing via the wrong start/finish line. They've deleted that and uploaded the fixed pole onboard.

Apparently rain starting to fall in the paddock. But sun is still shinning


And after seeing vettel and kimi's final laps from Q3, the gap between Vettel and Kimi was about 1 second smaller than the gap between Vettel and Hamilton. So Vettel screwed his own chance to be the perfect distance from the car in front. Only has his self to blame yet it appeared he held the team responsible

When did he held the team responsible?
