Okay, I'll stop now.
My DVR didn't record the race yesterday so I had to wait until the replay to watch it tonight. Just finished it... can't help but wonder why the hell Mercedes put Nico on the prime tire at that last stop.
Vettel earned that win. Was strange hearing the German national anthem and then the Italian national anthem again. I've probably seen ever single podium when Michael Schumacher won for Ferrari so it is something I'll always associate with him.
Q: But then when did you lose Nicos race? He was in a promising position and at one point looked set to take the lead in the championship
Toto Wolff: Nico struggled on the soft tyres at the beginning - then we put the prime on. It was a very unlucky situation for a tyre change: you put the tyres under the pot to heat in case you have an accident and have to pit - and because it was 28 or something laps to the chequered flag the prime tyre was still under the pot and when the virtual safety car came out. He was three corners from the pit lane entrance then, so we called him in - and the only tyre available that very moment was the prime tyre. If he had done a lap under the virtual safety car then we would have switched from the prime to the option as his final tyre - but you have to live with your decisions. We will enter this race in the books as our contribution for a sizzling race. Dont expect us to do this more than once! (laughs) We will do anything to get back to where weve been.
Well, Vettel just has no luck this year.
Even in Hungary, that safety car jeopardized his race, and now he looses a tire on the Kemmel and goes from third to eleventh on the last lap.
Judging by how much Grosjean backed off in the penultimate lap, I was expecting Ferrari's mad one-stop gamble to pay off, but damn, they got punished for trying.
Hamilton and Rosberg were barely on camera all race long, but behind them there was a surprising amount of action, though too many DNFs for my taste.
Also, do virtual safety cars count as safety cars with regard to the predictions
There was a lot of laps on those tires. It doesn't surprise me Vettel blew one. He wasn't taking it very easy either. Gamble that didn't pay off.
It was a pretty good race minus a few DNFs and the blow out positions 3 and back.
Apparently, the situation has been defused - the FIA's measuring procedure has been called into question, because somehow the tire warming blankets weren't plugged in and the tires not at operating temperature when examined.
