Fuel and tire strategy. Hamilton was light on fuel and had to pit early. He had a brief error in the pits. Alonso was heavier on the fuel with a better strategy. Kimi was on softer tires and made the most of them plus made the most of his fuel strategy. On one stint, Kimi was able to have a bunch of low fuel laps and really fly.

Man... on Fchat you'd be banned for putting this spoiler in the title of your thread........
Be careful not to ruin it for us DVR guys.
I didn't log on to mbworld until after I watched the race just in case this happened.

agree w/ both chappy and miamie55, contradictory as that may sound. Good for Kimi (FINALLY, DUDE!!! jeez, been long enough!!), but Hamilton has been putting on a great show as has Alonso, so agree w/ Miami: keep podiuming and it will get really interesting. But at least now we have a real championship race going........but what will come of the Stepneygate fiasco???

The title of this thread totally ruined the race for me. I knew not to come in here before I watched but there it was, front and center out on the main page, MB comes in 2nd and 3rd before I could watch the DVR.

i think mclaren were lucky to finish both on the podium. Massa should have been up there instead of either mclaren driver. Sooner or later their luck will run out. with 1 or 2 DNF's the tables will be turned around.

Yeah, that's happened to me before. Some people just don't get it. I've learned never to look at this site right before a race.
