Rain requiring a tyre change would benefit Vettel the most as it will mean everyone has to pit on to wet/inter and then back to dry.
If you are more fortunate than others, build a larger table not a taller fence.

Ferrari on the Softs for Raikkonen with no testing again. So now the only driver who needs to pit again in the top 6 will probably be Vettel? WTF?
They had to try something different, otherwise you're driving around following the others.

First half is at Monaco level of boring. Let's hope the remaining 30 laps won't.

To be honest, i would have thought they’d be minimizing damage with Vettel and going full risk/gamble with Kimi?

I cant help but think, Ferrari could/should have tried to stay out longer than Hamilton. The undercut was never going to work, because the soft/ultras need a few laps to heat up?

I would love to know what Ferrari was thinking...?
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

That undercut was impossible. No way that that was their plan if it was the whole strategy department should be fired.

Maybe it's to do with them having misheard what Lewis said about his tyres' life?

Well, Raikkönen wasn't realy in a position to attack the lead, regardless what Ferrari would have done and the main Problem for Seb was Perez.

Maybe it could be worth the gamble to put VET on Hypersofts once the gap ahead of ALO is big enough? What do you think? In case the Softs of the others don´t last.
