ATM I fear this could be quite processional…

Barcelona is never a good race. At least its not here next year.

 

[Mark Blow]

Oh you naysayers, Hamilton and Ferrari livening the race up

 

[Big Ern]

hmm, what do Ferrari do in the VSC?

 

[Mark Blow]

Virtual safety car, Ferrari must bring Hamilton in for a cheap pit stop

I thought they'd blown it

Shame the vsc ended so early, the Mercs still have more pace on the hards

 

[Mark Blow]

Hamilton noted for yellow flag infringement….

older tyres though.

Hamilton noted for yellow flag infringement….

Indeed …

 

[Big Ern]

Hamilton noted for yellow flag infringement….

Sounds like he should get away with it, pace wise it looks like he could be safe either way.

Currently more than half a second faster per lap than the Mercs on it and cleared over the yellow flag infringement

Almost a shame about the VSC, because i think we were looking at an overtake for the lead judging by Lewis's pace here

 

[Mark Blow]

I’m quite amazed at the Merc drop off in pace

 

[Mark Blow]

Charles is nearly 40 seconds behind Hamilton.

 

[Big Ern]

Kimi gone, the luck swings.

 

[Big Ern]

VSC, everyone in for softs?

 

[Mark Blow]

****, probably safety car will Antonelli stopping, Charles shagging his car over the gravel

looks so close to an exit I think it'll be a short vsc

 

[Mark Blow]

All the Ferrari momentum is with Lewis, Charles needs a reset
