Why didn't they do 1 lap on the softs and then one on the mediums?

They must have calculated that they have the best chances with the best and freshest rubber. Their race pace may require them to take the tactic that they chose.

Terrible first move for the pole sitter. Too much focus on Finger Boy!

Yes, he's driving an outstanding race so far.
Let's hope Vettel misses a braking point.

First stops after just 6\7 laps? Ferrari might have picked the right strategy...

Lotus strategy is working well for their French driver. Rosberg cost Lewis a lot of time but that's racing. Lewis should have found a way past.

Webber (right?)

Right rear had trouble on pit stop, they tried to remove the wheel again and instead the car was sent off, wheel came off immediately, took out a cameraman.

I would have liked to see Kimi put a move on Vettel but he spent too much time behind Grosjean. Pretty exciting race overall.

Having the Iceman back in F1 onnly proves to me that he carried Ferrari on his own. They should of got rid of Massa, but then again I can see why they didn't CheerLeader Alonso would of cried knowing that his teammate is pretty much equal to him.

The reason Kimi was let go by Ferrari was he didn't finish races. Just as Massa is now.

Also Alfy, you were calling him a drunken fool back when he was driving for Ferrari. It shouldn't be too hard to dig up some of your old quotes.
