    Vettel used the supers in q1 didn't he, I think he just ran out of tyres to risk on coming only 6th or 7th

    **** off, he has proven you wrong by a mile, go eat your pie. One race was his own fault.
    I have had to endure your (and many others) criticism for 2 and a half years, and now I am happy not only because of his performance, but because I get to enjoy the moment to the fullest.
    He has the best car, and the finest skills at hand, at the age of 43. I have waited, and his time came, on the hardest track known to any F1 driver.
    He is something special, he is Michael Schumacher.

    Seb I'm sure will start on the prime, he's got no choice back there. It would be impossible for somebody to overtake him anyway.

    Yeah it makes sense, he could well be with Button at the end of his first stint as I imagine he will do the same.

    There should be an age limit for F1, make it about 35 maximum, and it would be fairer for the younger drivers coming through. You don't see 40 year old premier league football players, you shouldn't see 40 year old F1 drivers.

    If they have the fitness to get pole and beat all the younger drivers, yeah you can carry on seeing them. Sit down.

    I disagree, it should be about the best track racing drivers in the world regardless of age. In my opinion.

    That sounds like bitterness to me. If he is fit and able enough to compete in the sport he loves why should he be kicked out of F1.

    Same thing with Seb, it must have to do with the balance of the cars now suiting more aggressive drivers now stability issues has been magnified with no more diffusers and EBD. Drivers like Webber, Alonso and Lewis seem to have less of an issue with this problem and go around like nothing is wrong while their teammate is freaking out.

    Also RBR's ideology has always been about working on a area and then working around it. Drivers have to evolve themselves to the teams desires on what is quicker. Seb had the upper hand in 09, both about equal in 2010, Seb dominates 2011 and now it looks like Mark has the upper hand with this car.

    Mark is leading the way with this car and it will only get worse if Seb starts getting pissed off while the car would most likely start to be designed around Mark this year as it looks like the car isn't really the problem.

    MAybe a good way of helping younger drivers with the skill would be to try and find someway to make it illegal to sponsor them unless they came take 5th or higher in one of the junior series.

    Probably a terrible idea but at least if that was possible you would have to sponsor only the drivers with the skills.

    No, i'm just bored of EMSC's arrogance. The guy had 1 good performance, doesn't make his comeback a success. Kimi's is a success, he's had 2 podiums.

    It's a nice idea, it gets rid of the Karthikeyans of this world.

    Proves many people on here wrong, after so much criticism from people including yourself, let me enjoy. It is not arrogance it is happiness, he is as fast as anyone else on the grid, in-fact today he was faster.
    Yes the race is tomorrow, don't be bitter Kyle, because it is so obvious you are being.

    Was really impressed and amazed when he adjusted the brake bias midway through the swimming pool chicane.

    Same here, infact he was very slow in the last sector so it was unexpected to get pole. Happy to see you impressed.
