The F1 Thread 2015 Season

Mercedes tactics were spot on for Lewis but cost Rosberg here. Should have let him stay out in the clean air to put some hard laps in to gain the margin needed for the pits. He had already put in some blistering laps. Poor.
 
Williams should've pit Massa early as he was struggling and could get the undercut looking at a one stop. That would release Bottas and he could look at a one or two stop but fend off Mercedes.

That would've ensured a Williams win strategy wise at least. I can't understand some decisions sometimes. Williams blaming the in-lap pace of Hamilton but they could've covered it off surely.
 
Good to see the Williams mixing it with Mercedes and hopefully they can keep Rosberg back. Come on Lewis!

They were so close to getting him into second, leaving him out would have guaranteed him 4th because he wouldn't have been able to match the others on those tyres.
 
Most people were expecting a duel between Ferrari and Williams for 3rd. Brilliant to see them fighting it out at the sharp end of the grid!

Not me...I text a mate at Silverstone early this morning with my prediction of Hamilton, Bottas, Massa and Rosberg.

Expect that to go tits up now I've put it on here! :nervous:

There was a clear 2 lap gap that Rosberg could have gained the second or 2 advantage needed to make that difference. Nico set 2 fastest laps before the pit stops in the face of dirty air from 3 cars.
 
Great instructions to Rosberg "Give it everything" haha
 
This is good it slows down the race increasing our chance to see rain before the end.
 
Shame that Button's out, he might have had a sniff at points in these conditions.
 
"rain in 5 minutes" is like "Schneiderlin to sign tomorrow", just shit to keep you hoping.
