Red Bull's pitstops are a worthy of a RotR... up to now I was about to nominate Lewis... we'll see.

Both HRTs are racing slower than Moreno's famous flying lap in 1992.

Poor Webber, that pit stop was awful.

Dammit, why couldn't Red Bull screw up both of the pit stops equally badly instead of screwing up Webber's stop worse than Vettel's?

Lack of Communication?

Maybe there are more fans at the track online that its disrupting the pit to car signals?

before they forced compound changing they didnt really need to pit during the race. Shame its being comedic.

Even more so for hamilton, and has now dinked massa out of the race. Lewis surely going to get penalised.

Can we just award Hamilton the ROTR now. Schumi's broken down.

I know its race tensions, but Lewis, shame on you, "he turned on purpose" YEAH! because going straight on would have meant parking a destroyed Ferrari in the Hotel lobby rather than in the tunnel below.
