    Tires though. A Slim possibility ;).... but I think Checo is likely the only candidate who will be able to mount a challenge.

    Yup.... however, Hamilton just got a message that his strategy is working and he's somewhat in the green. Strange.

    Pretty awesome stop for Koby, 3.5s is awesome for Sauber. Still has Button covered.

    I hope Sauber is more assertive in their strategy, that was the one thing that hurt them back in Malaysia, I think they were just completely unsure of what to do in that situation but now they have some more experience running at the front.

    Massa did a great job there and I just heard Button say his gearbox is going.
