~3.7, ~2.8, ~2.6. If it continues like this, there is no way Ric will catch Ros.

Edit: Another ~2.6 gain. This is gonna be interesting

 

[mclem]

I didn't know this Grand Prix was in Birmingham, but they appear to be racing around The Bullring at one point.

Mercedes pitwall looks stressed

They fucked up. A sign of what is coming next year, they aren't ready to have RBR competing with them so strategy will screw them next year.

 

[DrM]

Gutierrez in 11th

Spoiler

lol

Maybe somebody will show him some respect for that

 

[kiyomi]

Maybe somebody will show him some respect for that

I do feel bad for him though. 11th is like, his jam.

Mercedes pitwall looks stressed

They aren't used to having actually fight for the win anymore

SHOEY TIME

You're completely ignoring Rosberg's engine + tyres. Who says he won't slow down?

 

[Randdalf]

13 seconds... could catch him in 5 laps or so.

 

[jey_16]

so indirectly......Mercedes screwed themselves by pitting Hamilton

 

[jizzlobber]

Cmon Danny!!!!!!

 

[spuckthew]

I hope Rosberg's tyres fail because Merc were too dumb or his brakes fail because he's having to push

 

[NHale]

Max to cause a SC.

 

[hamchan]

This is such a monumental fuck up from Mercedes it's kinda nuts.

 

[Frankfurter]

You're completely ignoring Rosberg's engine + tyres. Who says he won't slow down?

He is on soft. They are older, but they are probably not gonna lose as much performance as Rics supersofts.

 

[DrM]

Max to cause a SC.

SC is what Nico wants right now

 

[Yagami_Sama]

No. The ultimate drama would be Ricciardo crashes into Rosberg which Hamilton would be dragged into the accident and Raikkonen wins the race.

 

[Xando]

No. The ultimate drama would be Ricciardo crashes into Rosberg which Hamilton would be dragged into the accident and Raikkonen wins the race.

Ferrari strategy geniuses win again


Vettel starting from last being infront of Ves tells you everything about Ves race

 

[Randdalf]

Alonso casually in 7th

 

[olore]

If not Lewis, please anybody than Rosberg

 

[NHale]

SC is what Nico wants right now

Only if it's a big crash because if it something that clears off in less than 10 minutes, he will end in 6th.

Nico needs to be smart with this if he wants to be WDC because if Danny tries to overtake and Nico goes defensive/dumb like in Austria, Hamilton wins and unless of taking 3 points advantage today, he loses 25. That's a 28 pt swing and seals the WDC. Live to fight another day.

 

[DrM]

RIC will catch ROS with two or one lap to go at current pace

 

[brotkasten]

Ferrari strategy geniuses win again

If you ignore Mercedes and Red Bull, they basically won the race on P1-2.

 

[Ty4on]

Alonso casually in 7th

Much better than seeing him fight with the backmarkers.

 

[mclem]

RIC will catch ROS with two or one lap to go at current pace

Two laps would be very different from one, since it'd give him a final lap with DRS.

 

[thenexus6]

Ric 1st and Alonso 7th would be cool for me!

 

[brotkasten]

Kimi is never going to catch Lewis, much less pass him.

Much better than seeing him fight with the backmarkers.

But is it?

 

[PdotMichael]

If you ignore Mercedes and Red Bull, they basically won the race on P1-2.

Yeah, it would be unfair comparing Ferrari with real racing teams.

 

[Line_HTX]

I do feel bad for him though. 11th is like, his jam.

I don't understand this. Every time I see him in 9th, the next 10 seconds he's down to 13th or so.

 

[DrM]

Yeah, it would be unfair comparing Ferrari with real racing teams.

Ouch, this one is pretty low

 

[Lender]

Gap stabilizing. Rosberg is gonna win it.

 

[Juicy Bob]

ROS or RIC

I can't decide who I want to win more...

 

[kmag]

Rosberg looks to just have enough pace.

 

[Line_HTX]

Yeah, it would be unfair comparing Ferrari with real racing teams.

Savage, god dayum.

 

[Xando]

RIC not catching up anymore

the dream is dead

 

[Chuck]

Maybe not :/

 

[DrM]

Rosberg looks to just have enough pace.

Traffic is also helping him

 

[Yagami_Sama]

Alonso in 7th is not bad.He I was expecting him on 10th.

 

[spuckthew]

Traffic wasn't kind to Ric

 

[hamchan]

Gutierrez actually gave way thank god.

 

[brotkasten]

Gap stabilizing. Rosberg is gonna win it.

Mercedes has too much of a reserve in their car. Rosberg didn't need the gap to stay for more than 4+ seconds.

Shit all is going to happen.

 

[stryke]

Fuck...traffic did not treat Ric well

 

[Yagami_Sama]

Maybe next year Alonso manage to compete races on his favorite position. 05th.

XD

 

[Solaire of Astora]

Only if it's a big crash because if it something that clears off in less than 10 minutes, he will end in 6th.

What? Even without a safety car, Rosberg's looking at second place in the worst case scenario? Where on earth are you getting sixth from?


Edit: I'm aware you posted this six minutes before I responded, but even still, barring any huge misfortune, there's no way he was at risk of dropping to sixth.

 

[DieH@rd]

ROS is holding on!

 

[Zaru]

Toto smiling hard now

WHERE IS MY EXCITING FINISH

 

[Blastoise]

Toto loves this

 

[RaySpencer]

ROS is holding on!

:'(

 

[jey_16]

Ferrari fucked up by pitting kimi....should have just left him out

 

[Deadman]

Toto smiling
