Have McLaren got their tyre strategy wrong? Hamilton must come in for tyres, so he needs to build a big lead. Interesting few laps coming up.

 

[Kenny]

Raining and Button in the lead

 

[Kenny]

Hamilton spun in the wet allowing Button to go by.

 

[FrankMunro-371]

Crazy from Hamilton, he nearly took a Force India driver out. Calm down Lewis.

 

[Kenny]

Button wide and Lewis back in front

 

[Kenny]

Button back in front and goes wide again and Lewis back in front. Great stuff

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Raining. This is going to be a fantastic finish

 

[Kenny]

Hamilton pits and inters are on.

 

[FrankMunro-371]

Somehow Vettel is second, despite his car looking distinctly sluggish.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Hamilton under investigation. FFS

 

[Kenny]

Hamilton under investigation for his spin. That could be his race over as he will no doubt get a drive thru

 

[Kenny]

Tyre choice wrong for Hamilton. His race is over and he gets a drive thru.

 

[FrankMunro-371]

Hamilton under investigation. FFS

I am not surprised, it was a near thing. He just spun the car round without looking. A drive through penalty.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Drive thru and on the wrong tyres. Blown the race from a winning position

 

[PuntsWolf]

Hamiltons had a mare, wrong strategy twice and now a drive through

Wonder who made the call for the strategy. Will be an interesting post race interview with him

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Button or Vettel then

 

[PuntsWolf]

well to go on the super softs was stupid when everyone else was on hard, if he was winning all he had to do was match everyone else. then the rain came and he could have stayed out on his softs which were stronger at the time but he changed and then has to change back. these strategists are very well paid but its seems fucking stupid!

 

[FrankMunro-371]

Hamilton must learn to calm down, at the time I said it was a crazy thing to do. You cannot make a move like that and escape punishment.

 

[Kenny]

Hamiltons race all about grabbing 4th. He has Webber and Massa ahead of him though.
