Ed, are all the cars on full-wets or intermediates; watching the Speed broadcast, it looked like Raikkonen's on intermediates.....I thought with a wet-race start everyone was supposed to use full wets?

Massa has spun and recovered but as he is on intermediates he pits!

Massa certainly is and he has pitted. Not sure about Raikkonenmlittle wrote:Ed, are all the cars on full-wets or intermediates; watching the Speed broadcast, it looked like Raikkonen's on intermediates.....I thought with a wet-race start everyone was supposed to use full wets?

Raikkonen spins but recovers. He is in 21st place behind Massa!
Both having to pit as they were on intermediates and switched to full wets

Lap 13, situation remains the same. Yamamoto pits!

Raikkonen pits again and they will fuel him to the end of the race!

As Raikkonen was 20th and if the safety car continues until the end of the race, the McLaren's will have to stop for fuel at some stage and as Raikkonen is fuelled till the end they will be ahead of the McLaren's at the end of the race!
