Vettel is not going to stop again, is he ?

Even if it was a good pit stop, would have been the same result. He would have still been 14 secs behind both of the front 2 (who don't look like stopping again).
And also, Hamilton only lost 1 second in that pit stop either way.
Go Alonso
Well alonso next

Vettel

what could Vettel have done?Good move despite going behind perez for Vettel.
Hamilton overtakes
Get in there lewis
You are allowed to move once to defend? He didn't even attempt to defend.
That was some of the best driving i have seen lewis do
1 stop strategy has fecked vettel and its not going well for alonso as well.
Alonso
1 stop strategy
1 stop strategy
Grosjean has done very well.
Alonso's tyres are gone
Perez may overtake alonso as well
Alonso
Yea but what would be the point is what I'm saying, Lewis was absolutely miles faster and the red bull is shit in a straight line at the best of times.
Vettel overtakes Alonso
Lewis fantastic race today, got his tactics just right.
Meltdown like kimi
Good decision by Redbull to have that pitstop.
Alonso down to the 5th. What a feck up by ferrari
I beg to differ. I think Lewis has been amazing today despite the best efforts of his team both tactically and in the pits.
Great race from lewis. 7 different winners
Nicolle
Agreed about the pits but how can you say they were tactically bad after seeing alonso and vettel?
1 more lap and Alonso would have got nobbled by Rosberg and Webber.
Great end that.
Great end that.
I do agree with you about his pit stops, they did there best to feck it up.
Cant fault his driving, thats what I meant
Alonso
7 races 7 winners is bizarre. I think Kimi or Grosjean will win the next one!

Hamilton's drive was unbeatable today. All they had to do was make sure they didn't lose the race for him tactically. At one point they nearly messed it up by telling him his competition wouldn't one-stop. Ignore the tactics of Alonso and Vettel; they were forced into those by Hamilton's brilliance!
100% agree. Magnificent drive from him today. At times I felt he was alone in pursuing victory because his team weren't offering him too much.
Hamilton on top with 88 points 2 point ahead of alonso
Alonso

Never heard of him till this season, he is really a very good driver, can see him winning a race very soon
I totally agree hamilton was great today but just saying that they weren't tactically bad.
Best race of the season so far and I think this will be a spur Lewis needs, can see him winning a few races now.
Perez is surely the next big thing. Another great race by him.
I think we're all agreeing but to different degrees
Personally, I think that if you factor out Hamilton's drive and how it forced Alonso and Vettel's hand, McLaren didn't do themselves much credit tactically. Something that they showed when they told him the others wouldn't one-stop, they seem completely unable to read the tactics of other teams or put together a progressive plan themselves.
