Mercedes really stuck to that 'conserve tyres and fuel' mentality.

I liked this article for the praise they gave Alonso and Ferrari for making the charge at the green till the end. I was also surprised to learn that Alonso had a puncture on the last stint. While Ferrari's strategy played well for this track, I don't think this strategy will be as rewarding at others.
Bottom line is I feel Pirelli was asked to build a tire that will degrade and not last. Teams have been playing the old tire strategy with new tires. I hope this will change.

I agree with you on the tactic Ferrari used, and that Lotus did the same thing with Kimi. Glad that they just raced and didn't give two ****s about the tire ware.

Out of the entire gang for NBC Buxton is the only one I actually enjoy listening to. The other three just ramble.
