    "What it means is both Lotus and McLarens are out and Alonso running around at the back"

    Give me strength

    Williams being smart telling drivers not to race?

    Looks like they are racing

    Crazy calls from Williams. If they stop Bottas overtaking Massa they are going to back the up into the Mercs.

    Agreed, Bottas in Massa's slipstream the whole time isn't going to do them any favours.

    DRS does help Bottas, would he have more pace once passed though

    Well, Williams said that he could go with a clean move, but it's not that easy.

    Massa is doing a good job.

    One of the Mercs should go for undercut now, stretch a one stop

    Yea, you know those bank of computers you see the teams looking at throughout the race...they are looking at Boards.ie :)

    Good call though.

    Williams could have pitted Bottas first but maybe they were watching were Perez was or maybe gave Massa first choice of pitting

    In fairness to Williams, I wouldn't want to be the engineer telling massa 'valterri is faster than you'

    Williams said he could go... if he was told that two laps earlier, the situation would be the same. Massa would not let him.

    Now, if you are saying that Williams should have said "Massa, please, let him go" that's another story and it goes against every "we want racing" thing that all the fans are complaining about these days.

    Once the Mercedes pit crew moved, Williams should have been ready to counter that. Rookies.

    Anyway, here comes some rain!

    Lewis always seems to use a little less fuel than the rest, I wonder why?

    I'm not saying they should have let him go. But I do think it would have been the only shot at victory as bottas probably had the pace to beat Hamilton out of pit
