Rosberg is sleep walking to disaster, gonna be on the worst tyres at the end of the race
I'll be interested to see if he monumentally falls off the cliff at the end.
At this circuit they were talking that they will do just that
Jenson reckons there is no way Rosberg or Massas tyres will last
If there's a SC after everyone's stopped then Rosberg will be beyond screwed.

To be fair, I don't think, in this particular case, it's the circuit's fault for the crap race.

Are they allowed to give them target lap times? I thought that was one of the things that was banned... also telling Rosberg to pick up the pace?

Because he'll be on massively old tyres whereas everyone else will be on much newer ones and he will have lost the gap his strategy created.

I presume you mean if he's ahead of all those who have stopped? Otherwise, it could be an opportunity for him to change tyres and still do some catching up under the SC? It can work either way.

So even after that Pitstop he is still 30 seconds ahead of Rosberg, so he can pit again and STILL be ahead of Rosberg

Second stop for Massa. No way can Rosberg go to the end.

Vettel getting the instruction on the fuel consumption, was that not allowed?
