Webber drove most of the race in the lead, your tires last a lot longer there as all the professional commentators (like ex-drivers) have said countless times over the season. It's also possible that Lotus/Renault just can't utilize supersofts as well/long as others


Different positions on track (like webber comparison) matter, as does the car - when his laptimes suddenly plummeted the team should have acted then, not several laps later when the gap to Vettel had grown so big.
F1 strategy isn't just about watching what other teams do, but how your own teams cars do, too.
If your teams car suddenly slows down up to several seconds per lap compared to how it was going before, you pit it immediately, not when the gap is far too big to be really caught up by driving.
Kimi had clear air ahead of him (being so slow) so the excuse of running in turbulent air doesn't wash. Also the rain was a factor, everyone stretched the first stop to see if they could hold out until it rained. Seriously you can't blame Renault on Kimi's performance last week, it was subpar all weekend if you compare him to Grosjean. Hopefully he bounces back next week.
