The following driver might be better served if they waited for the 2nd zone to make the pass?

Red Bull make a bags of Webber's stop.

Paydrive just went very wide in sector three, lost out to Pere I think.

Massa has jumped Webber with that awful stop

Buemi odds on to retire here due to engine or gearbox from the sound of things

It's like a cheese-hunt down there. Perez' tires are cheese, Barrichello's tires are slightly less cheese and Petrov's tires act like they are cheese because they want to fit in.
