Anyway, both ends of the grid providing entertainment. :lol:
He was asking what his weaker sector is, so he's looking to go faster? Or maybe manage where he pushes the car.

Vettel doesn't seem to be able to pass Alonso even while only being a few tenths behind him lap after lap.

Is Alonso trying to one stop here? Lewis seems to be pushing on much more whereas Alonso looks like he's driving to a target time.

Edit: Alonso just picked up half a second so I guess not.

Hulkenberg is pressuring Button from 15th , just now getting into the DRS zone.

HRT had predicted their best race yet, and now both cars are out of the race.

Is Lewis being shortsighted by apparently pushing so hard?

After hanging onto Alonsos tail by three tenths for many laps, he drops down to six tenths and is setting slower times. He's dropping back.

Hamilton with a new fastest lap. I also wonder how much he can do this.

Vettel is now out the DRS zone, Alonso has picked up the pace and is pushing Hamilton a little closer.

Hulkenberg made a move on Button and has pulled away by over 2 seconds. Was no commentary on it though.

Edit: So Brundle starts talking about it as soon as I make my post lol.

There must be a lot of pent-up frustration in that yellow helmet.

This joke has probably been made before, but Perez must have to pay for his own tires.

What's up with Button? Hamilton does a 1:18.083, Button a 1:20.015 and he has to pit for another set of tyres having burnt through his super softs.

So Jenson is back out on the super softs while Hamilton pulls another four tenths away from Alonso, Vettel now out of Alonsos DRS.

The Red Bulls seemingly have no power on the straights, even with DRS.

Edit: Hamilton pulls another three tenths for a four second lead. Vettel almost two seconds back from Alonso.
