Lewis doesn't do 2nd places. He won't sit back, no way.

That's why I love him, but I think I'll forgive him for a couple of cruises now 
Seriously though, Lewis' strategy seems to be to keep within 2-3 secs for a stint and then go for a cracking in/out lap followed by the overtake 3-4 laps into stint 2. It's worked well for him on a few occasions now, hope we'll see it again tomorrow.
My pics will now remain on the previous page. Off to a bar in Sao Paulo tonight mind

Lewis will be going for the win, which is why we all love him. He won't take any stupid risks mind. Just need him to safely navigate the first lap, hopefully ahead of both Williams then see if he has the pace to get past Nico.
My only worry about starting in 2nd on this new surface is it might be more oily than the clean side.

Tyres too durable in Russia... Tyres not durable enough in Brazil  sort it out Pirelli.
We need medium-soft and medium-hard compounds introduced aswell as the current lot.

I think Pirelli were told to go soft/medium due to the new surface, they wanted to use medium/hard.

Ffs. Lewis having rear brake issues yet again. When will they sort it out?
Immense how Lewis can pull that sort of laptime with fucked tyres.

ok mate no beef.
He did actually have a whinge the second time, saying the tyres will only do 1 quali style lap, not 2.

Well that was a massive anti climax
Credit where it's due, Nico drove well all weekend, but this result suit's Lewis perfectly.
I'm sure he won't be too worried.

Fantastic race, even though I went into it desperately hoping for LH 2nd, it did feel like an anti-climax at the end!
Nico saying he was managing the gap, quote from another forum:

Nico really is a genius at managing the gap. He managed to make it disappear.
I'm going to be a fucking wreck all of Abu Dhabi weekend. Might book Monday off work as I'll be in no fit state to work either way.
