EDD STRAW: "At the restart, it will be interesting to see what happens with Ferrari. Raikkonen is down on power, so it's fair to assume that will help Vettel get an initial break on everyone. Then it will come down to the pace of the Ferraris on the mediums. We haven't had the chance to see what that is in race conditions as yet but Mercedes clearly think they've got an advantage."
Raikkonen isn't going to be able to put up much of a fight given his MGU-K problem. He's going to fall down the order once we go racing again.
Quote
Rosberg's engineer: "We think there is a chance we can win this. We know Ferrari have a warm up problem and a pace problem on the prime."
So, we are going to have the five lead cars together on track at the restart.
Lapped cars are being let through. There's a lot of them trying to get past the leaders and the safety car.
Perez is stopping as the cars come through the pitlane. He's given a new nosecone.
