Force India could have been better, Mercedes and Ferrari did not live up to their names, Sauber didn't surprise, but they and Lotus could have a belter of a race tomorrow, still a lot to give I reckon, so Vettel cannot get too comfortable. Advice to Vettel... please log in to view this image
Very underwhelming result to come home to. Better than recently at least. Maybe some points at last. Few suprise positions may just help keep me awake in the race.
How can Red Bull have one car get pole position by three tenths in one lap but not 5 feet away in the adjacent garage one car with a multitude of problems and for three hours just have the mechanics doing what appeared to a very half-assed job to fix them? It is just outrightly blatant that whenever Vettel has problems they'll work sleepless nights and ages and take any data Webber has collected to fix them but whenever problems hit Webber they do nothing whatsoever.
That's interesting, both Lotus' are near the bottom of the speed traps... 1 17 J. VERGNE 321.4 2 8 N. ROSBERG 320.4 3 16 D. RICCIARDO 320.0 4 7 M. SCHUMACHER 319.4 5 14 K. KOBAYASHI 318.1 6 4 L.

maybe after working with him for a few years they, like me, think he's an arsehole, maybe if he didn't whinge, whine and blame them constantly for 2 years because he isn't as good as Seb they might pull their finger out.
Oh god wasn't that in q2 so didn't really matter in the end... may just may get away with it. If its the one I'm thinking of anyway.
The lap was in Q3. Hamilton was released just before Rosberg so Rosberg had plenty of time to back off and give himself space.
oh so he didn't impede his lap, its because those last few corners are blind? I guess it depends how much he slowed down. Sounds more like a slap on the wrists job.
Well I was the first to know (15 minutes ahead of others) that Lewis would go back of the grid thanks to twitter so I'll keep you all up to date on what my twitter "friends" find out etc...
Yeah but it happend in Q3 and on the pole shootout, I think it will be a reprimand but............dont be suprised if it isn't a 5 place penalty.
So its to do with this then, point 10: please log in to view this image How slow is unnecessarily slow lol
