No hindsight needed - my mate and I were yelling at the TV for Hamilton to be brought in as soon as he started lapping over a second or so slower - at least 4 laps before they did!



Sure he'd have been behind Kimi, but plenty quick enough to catch him and probably pass - at least have a good go....
