Any idea how many pit stop strategies the Mercedes are planning for their cars?
McLaren have changed to a rear jack apparently in the pits which they reckon has helped
wonder why they have gone for different rubber than the rest of the teams
Schumacher loses 2 places.
Shu out of the race
Button passes schumi on the pit lane exit and now schumi has retired again! ffs
Schumi out again? What the feck? What the feck? feckity feck!
Schumacher retires
I am upset for Sch , thought he had a good chance of a podium finish
How fecking frustating for Schumi!
What a feck up by the mercedes team there
looks like it may of been a mistake in the pit , a loose back wheel maybe?
Yeah the guy working on the back tire was signaling he wasn't ready but they had already released the car.
I have been waiting so long for Schumi to start in the front row and finally when he does, they go and feck it up for him.
you have to feel for the guy
watching that pit stop , you have to blame the guy who released the car
Wow that was stupidly disastrous in the pits for mercedes
Well I at least hope Nico does well and finishes on the podium.
fecksake I know some of these guys are still only getting used to giving F1 coverage but they need to wake up a bit. I miss the BBC team from last year, just a few minutes ago we had
"rosberg will maintain the lead of the grand prix....oh no he won't actually Perez has not stopped yet"
Then about 5 minutes later,
"so it's Perez in the lead, is it? We are on board with Perez, he is leading isn't he? Yes he is"
And if its not that then its Gary anderson talking over the team radio, oh nevermind Gary we don't really want to listen to what the driver is saying anyway....it really does give you an idea of how well they all worked together last year tbh

Schumi had a good track position as well when he came out.
I switched to Sky for the race , I like there race commentary team better
If it's not the shit car...then it's shit pit stops!
Schumacher could have had a podium finish! Grr
Schumacher could have had a podium finish! Grr
Hamilton in for his second pit
Hamilton pits again
Nico's tires are slowly starting to give up too. His lap times are dropping slowly.
Is it just me being 90%+ asleep or is this pretty dull so far?
What a fast stop for Button. That was inch perfect.
Yeah when Schumi is out, everything is dull.
I was thinking the race was very good to be honest
why are Mercedes waiting to pit
It's a decent race so far, button heading through the field nicely at the moment. Looks like it could be close when nico finally pits
Let alonso pass 
Massa being told to give way to Alonso
Mercedes on a 2 stop? Could be big tyre wear problems by the end of the race if so
Yea he's doing a good job, but he's just driving past people on the straight, it's not very exciting.
Maybe I'm just grumpy after about 4 hours sleep
Mercedes and Red Bull trying a 2 stop race , it wont work , will it ?
