ricciardo will have fresh tyres though, so he is going to have the pace to get back but then ferrari might make a 4th stop themselves to come back again

its funny they probably have both undercutted themselves into another pitstop

Hmm can verstappen hold them out? I think dan lost too much time in those last 3/4 laps on the softs to win from here

no i think those leaders are going to fall off a cliff soon, they need to stop again

vettel is really slow so he is not thinking about 4 stops and wants to defend the win on old tyres, its like a chess situation this race

Going down to the wire here..

Ferraris both with older tyres, ditto Verstappen.

Ricciardo catching the top 3 already with fresher tyres.

ferrari should pit raikkonen for a sprint finish with about 8 laps to go, he would be 4 seconds faster

that would also get him out of the way of vettel

risky move by ricciardo, if he cant make it work he shouldnt try it because vettel is taking him into the race so he shouldnt slow him down

If Dan gets past Vettel, he might be able to close in on Kimi... at the moment Vettel is slowing him down in dirty air.

They where never going to catch the first 2
they would catch but not pass, i cant believe that the 2 stop is working ffs

maybe they are right to not have rodzilla as an advisor

Hopefully RBR allow him to break contract and he gets a drive with ferrai or merc next season, this will be webber 2.0 all over again otherwise.
