Not606 2013 Japanese Grand Prix Race thread

Bah, I would be a multi WDC if it wasn't for my BMI of 22.78

Thats what I tell myself anyway.

 

20+ kilos?! Bloody hell That must have taken some will power.

 

at first it did, but around Christmas time I heard about the 5/2 eat fast diet, decided to try it for a month, and it just dropped off, combined with the weight loss I have so much more energy, havn't been sick and don't get hangovers or come-downs anywhere near like I had before, if at all, and I really REALLY should have.

 

Speed trap - Go go gadget Vettel

Good news!!! - jokes

 

Good thing I'll be flying at the time and will miss the RedBull procession..

 

please log in to view this image

Good news:...Red Bull do flying processions too!

 

Hamilton's time on the harder tyres was a match for the times set on the softer tyre...wouldn't it be wise for him to try something different and qualify on the harder tyre. And he set his best time on about the 12th lap. If he can get close to the 2nd or 3rd row then he can make a race of it. When the others pit for around lap 12 he could try to reel off a few really quick laps before going on to his softer tyres with lower fuel. Something Mercedes could think about.

 

A lot of spins and crashes this morning.

Were the conditions tricky at all, or is the track just a bit 'green'?

 

Thanks for doing this video cosicave :

First time I've seen it lol.

 

Congrats Christian Horner

 

Odd fire on that Toro rosso

 

Chilts is 17th!!!

 

Paul with a smile and crediting the team?? What is this?

 

Webbsley!

 

Kimi and Alonso quick up until q3. Congrats to Webber though. Maybe his last pole

 

Lol Horner saying They race for the team...

 

Vettel looks like he about to lay an eggs and it's not coming...he looks really uncomfortable there.

 

Lotus should have put one of their cars on the hard tyre..also I think Rosberg should have gone on hards too and split the team strategy

 

Some great efforts there.

Masa to beat Alonso comfortably, Grosjean same on Kimi, Chilton heading the Caterham boys and Bianchi and of course Webber nailing pole (though can be grateful for Vettel's KERS issue)
