tyre degradation on soft. and pirelli's advice too i suppose.
Alonso's car damaged, he's gonna have to retire = Vettel is champion.
JB decides to feck the original strategy out the window and goes for the soft instead 
The strategies are really mixing this up, it's great.
In hindsight, they are.
Jenson lasted 3 i think.
Alonso looks pretty ragged, wonder if he's just overdriving or if the steering is playing up after that impact.
decent enough drive for Vettel to get back to P2, but helped a lot by cars pitting.
Button still languishing down in 18th place.
he is having a poor race, thought he would do better after his decent qualifying.
looks to be a very sparse crowd watching his race, mind you, the extra tax on tickets that was mentioned before would not of helped.
I believe Button was on Medium and had to stop because of contact with Alonso. Could explain his struggles at the moment.
Yet Alonso didn't make anywhere near the same progress, and is still down in 12th.
Yeah. Then he shifted to softs which I think lasted only 3 laps.
Looks like the smog is getting heavier?
28 laps on this set of tyres, could be problems at the end of the race for Vettel.
Perez looking tasty at the moment.
Jesus Webber back in already, those soft tyres are pathetic.
Vettel being reminded he needs the tyres to last for the rest of the race
Sigh. Formula Tyre Management.
Alonso having a poor race
why did they even bother with these soft for the race. A tyre that can't even last 5-10 laps shouldn't be used
Webber lost sync on his gearbox
Webber retires.
Webber out
Looks like Webber about to suffer a gearbox failure.
Webber out, shame he is out, always seems to be his car that DNF.
webber out, well that kills any possible contest for the win
Failure, just a shame it's not on the other red bull.
Won't be surprised if Daniel Ricciardo inherits these problems next season!
42 laps on a set of medium is some going.
whoever puts marks car together should be sacked. Always seems to be a problem with it, feels like every second race it has a failure of some sort
Mark Webber deserves a win before he bows out
Alternator failed on Webbers car.
Two different teams in the garage, think Webber just unlucky.

Ferrari hasn't even taken a poke this season? Alonso is really an amazing driver for being 2nd in the standings
I don't think that's the problem, the parts will be the same for both cars, but different set ups and driving styles will be the what causes more problems for Webber, maybe he this driving style is just harder on his cars that Vettel.
Roman is having a very good race.
most likely, I was only joking about the sacking bit. Either way webber has some rubbish luck when it comes to realiability
