As you say, that later scheduled stop also opened up the possibility of coinciding with a change to rain-tyres.Gordon McCabehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09151162643523937086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37936507.post-81820707101208212712010-04-09T20:41:09.804+01:002010-04-09T20:41:09.804+01:00Gordon - unless of course, you think your team mat...Gordon - unless of course, you think your team mate has stopped *so* early that they'll wreck their tyres. Hamilton stopped much later than Button last weekend and finished ahead (although I think he was out as long as he was mainly because they were hoping for rain).Patrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06958265670311209584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37936507.post-38972479987432883232010-04-08T18:38:01.091+01:002010-04-08T18:38:01.091+01:00Interesting, I didn't know that Sean.

In terms of racing against drivers from other teams, you now want to stop as early as you can in a pit-stop window.Gordon McCabehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09151162643523937086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37936507.post-75443116514837291592010-04-08T16:17:28.616+01:002010-04-08T16:17:28.616+01:00Vettel apparently spends quite a bit of time on th...Vettel apparently spends quite a bit of time on the simulator, perfecting tactics as well as the new car.Seanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04362169593902131947noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37936507.post-82766498410961570802010-04-08T15:56:36.356+01:002010-04-08T15:56:36.356+01:00Good point there on leaving the pitstop as late as...Good point there on leaving the pitstop as late as you could, but can I just point out that most drivers already do this, as it is a part of disadvantaging your opponent, thereby increasing your advantage.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17581611412770946410noreply@blogger.com
