    What was buttons stop all about?? So he's on a 3 stop when everyone agreed noone would do a 3 stop? As he still has to use the softs. If vettel isn't on a 3 it is all over

    Hamilton's "pass" on Massa at the hairpin was something like a move I would do on the F1 2010 ps3 game! :pac:

    McLaren put reds on Button? Very stupid IMO, gonna be behind Vettel with a stop each still to make. Really don't get that. And there's a few cars between them, really, really don't understand why they did that.

    BBC are reminding me of Sky about Wayne Rooney, "oh isn't he a scamp!"

    Only chance Button has is to save tyres behind Vettel since he's on the faster ones. Then if there's a clear window on the track get out and bomb around on the yellows. If there's no gap then wait for Vettel to pit and try to put in a huge lap.

    Very stupid from McLaren there though IMO.

    Somehow Kobayashi and Sutil have managed to pit and kept 5th and 4th. :D

    probably thought Button could keep making back the time like he had been doing to build up enough time to cover his extra stop, safety car gets rid of the 10+ seconds he had over Vettel before his stop

    The inconsistency of yellow flags really grates on me.

    Aye but it's always risky around Monaco. Generally Less stops=track position so I think it's very silly. Had he put on the yellows he was pretty much sorted IMO.

    Argh!

    Gonna be fun for the last stint, reds or yellows for Vettel? :D

    I was disappointed the SC came out, shan't say why, but it looks like what I wanted to happen may well happen yet. :D

    Funnily enough I think Button has to pit before Vettel to have a chance of winning this race.

    My prediction: jenson stays out 3 laps longer now than vettel, and puts in fast laps on the supersofts. Pit crews do their jobs, and jenson comes out first. Vettel is all over the back of him for the rest of the race, but can't get by

    Button needs the Sutil train to stay in place for a little while longer and get in before Vettel and put in a stunner of an outlap while Vettel is poor on his worn yellows.

    Is Alonso on the yellows or reds? He might come back into this yet.

    Possible i guess. Also Button rather maintaining tyres than attacking Vettel then will rev max with softs

    Red Bull would be retarded to pit Vettel before Button. Also RB can put reds on Vettel if they wish. Button has to pit first but I think they're worried about Alonso.

    30 to go, Button has to pit at the first sign of a clear bit of road if he wants to try to win this race.

    Well, so much for that prediction! Mclarens strategy was nonsense! Don't know what they were thinking

    redbull probably worried that supersofts won't last if they go for them now

    Would still be ahead of Button, not going to drop out of the top three are they? I think Vettel and Alonso are going the distance.
