    They have approximately the most to gain from this whole debacle.

    Sometimes I wonder if McLaren are just trying to **** over their drivers at every available opportunity. Seriously.

    Well, that was as expected, despite the weather. McLaren fall back significantly, Ferrari get much closer to Red Bull, Mercedes and Renault suffer.

    This time last year Alonso said he could still win the WDC and people laughed so.

    hmm, different conditions expected for race-day, I guess no one remembers Canada when the McLarens started 5th & 7th and how everone said they were ****ed, and going backwards, yet come Sunday they were the class of the field by a country mile.

    And of course there was valencia where everyone said they were ****ed, and they were. I honestly think that Canada was the expection thanks to some unusual conditions, Ferrari mistakes and the drive of the decade from Button. I think this is the third straight race of them being 3rd best and they are still moving backwards.

    It was wet. I'll update it if they correct it. It may be a anomaly of only displaying to tenths instead of thousandths.

    Did Webber just mention "front ride height" controls?

    Yes even a blind man could see that. I am not stupid, but he made a mistake.

    When Alonso does bad or Vettel I don't laugh or make fun of it. That is what pisses me off with Fred.

    And I can give Rep to whoever I want.

    Well done again Maldonado and props for competing in Q3 and not just sitting on 10th. I hope he can convert it into a race result finally. Likewise Paul Di Resta, especially when you look at the other Merc powered cars.

    Another shocker for Lewis, it's all going from bad to worse. So much for the supposed Mercedes advantage.

    Your rep power is 0, so it won't affect Fred's rep level anyway <laugh>

    Anyway, having seen Hamilton's lap, it's quite clear that the blame for the slow time goes to both the car and Lewis.

    The car was oversteering too much, leaving Hamilton struggling to fight the car. I would put the oversteer down to lack of rear downforce - an effect of the off throttle diffuser ban. Hamilton's car might have had poor balance, but he locked up and missed a couple of apexes - although in to be fair he had little experience with his car in that setup - having said that, other drivers managed.
