The action gets tight at the front...let's go to commercial break. PEACE.

 

[Stop It]

I think that would be the best bet even if he comes out in traffic, push it too long and he is going to drop more seconds.

Webber is screwed. Either he has no more hard tyres or he wants to try to make this a 2 stop race against all hope. Vettel just had Horner on the line, we're a go for an epic finale to this race.

Alonso now on fire, or he was. The drivers appear to be turning it on for a few laps, then calming down to cool the tyres a bit. Fun stuff.

*hugs the BBC coverage*

The Trulli train (Oh I miss 2009 haha) is oparked at Canada pit lane station.

Vettel has been told to turn his car down because of an issue yet needs to overtake? Not good.

 

[Massa]

Ferrari is much faster than I expected. Too bad about Liuzzi taking Massa out at the start.

Webber is fucked, he probably needs 2 pit stops.

 

[Wax Free Vanilla]

awesome race so far

a 4 way duel for the victory

 

[duckroll]

Hey guys, it's all good, WE ARE MANAGING AN ISSUE! :lol :lol :lol

 

[Dead Man]

Vettel getting a bit snappy on the radio! :lol

 

[navanman]

Hey guys, it's all good, WE ARE MANAGING AN ISSUE! :lol :lol :lol

What does that mean!! Car issue or engine, brakes???



BBBBBBBBRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

 

[Stop It]

Button needs to push right now, Webber is holding up Hamilton and Alonso, he has a clear track now.

Vettels car seems to be broken? Very, very slow. He is doomed?

 

[duckroll]

What does that mean!! Car issue or engine, brakes???



BBBBBBBBRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

Tires probably. They kept the cars out way too long, they're fucked.

 

[Pimpwerx]

:O

Awesome with those 4 cars. And Lewis makes another pass!!! PEACE.

 

[Dead Man]

Well that was easy! Webber's rear is all over the track.

 

[SmashBrosAwesome]

Hey guys, it's all good, WE ARE MANAGING AN ISSUE! :lol :lol :lol

Oh, RBR. :lol

Go Hamilton!

 

[Frawdder]

Pathetic decision making by RBR, pit Webber already and give him a shot to have a go at the front four.

Edit: Just as I hit Submit....

 

[navanman]

Webber should pit NOW. He can do 20 laps on the soft.

Webber being out is giving the win to Hamilton as he pulled out a good gap.

 

[Diablohead]

Webb pitting at last with 19 laps left

 

[kharma45]

RBR in trouble it seems for both drivers.

 

[Wax Free Vanilla]

the redbulls are done for

the two macs and alonso to fight for victory

 

[duckroll]

RBR shot themselves in the foot. I dunno how much you guys know about F1 strategy (I'm an expert), but after today, even their own drivers will feel betrayed and disillusioned by their own team. :lol

Webber just did.

This should be...interesting. Will Webber be able to get back? Will those soft tyres actually work? Hamilton, Alonso and Button separated by 4 seconds. This could be a very good next 17 laps.

Well, I think pride and honour come into it. Webber didn't want the dis-honour of having to pit more times than his rivals so sacrificed his position to make sure he only stopped twice.

I think RBR should be ashamed right now.

Spoiler

I'm so sorry

Champions wall has not claimed anyone yet, always a chance for a mix up and safety car

 

[Pimpwerx]

No one is pitting again. The tires may not last another 20 laps, but no one is gonna concede 20 seconds on track to try and get new tires. Just slide all over the road for the last 15 laps or so and hope Vettel's go off before he can mount a reasonable attack. PEACE.

 

[navanman]

Yeah, Vettel has fallen away and may need to pit again.

3 car race between Hamilton, Alonso & Button.
Button is right on Alonso tail and could overtake him.
Could Button win the race??

 

[Pimpwerx]

Champions wall has not claimed anyone yet, always a chance for a mix up and safety car

Technically, I think it claimed Kobayashi. PEACE.

 

[Pimpwerx]

Massa's gonna get a point. Good hustle on his part. PEACE.

EDIT: Let's go Button!

 

[navanman]

BUTTON WHAT A PASS

 

[Wax Free Vanilla]

button has alonso :d

mclaren better let them race to the finish

 

[Stop It]

Massa's gonna get a point. Good hustle on his part. PEACE.

EDIT: Let's go Button!

Button passes Alonso? Fantastic!!!

Come on Button vs Hamilton, get in there!!!

Button is now on a charge!!!

What's that coming over the hill is it a Button, is it a Button?

 

[Diablohead]

ON THE BUTTON

Now, just need to hope he and Hamilton don't get too carried away.

 

[navanman]

I'm calling Button to win the race!

 

[duckroll]

13 laps left for Button to TAKE THE RACE! God damn. This is one fucking awesome race.

 

[kharma45]

Alonso needs to stay calm and keep racing, and not do something Spanish and go off.

 

[Salacious Crumb]

Button took Alonso? FUCK YOU COMMERCIALS!

 

[navanman]

Only 11 laps left, the tyres can last.

Webber is going to catch Vettel too. GOING TO BE GREAT!!

BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

 

[Pimpwerx]

Petrov with the fantasy dagger. :lol Fuck him. PEACE.

 

[Wax Free Vanilla]

hamilton's rear tyres going?

come on jense

 

[Stop It]

Hamiltons tyres looking a bit off already. Button, as long as he keeps going, will be so chuffed now. He grabbed 2nd like a complete bastard, he will be really champing at the bit.

 

[AndyD]

Button passes Alonso? Fantastic!!!

Come on Button vs Hamilton, get in there!!!

Button is now on a charge!!!

What's that coming over the hill is it a Button, is it a Button?

Lewis will try to go to the end, so if he makes it he wins, but I hope he does not blow a tire and go out altogether. His tires still look far better than Webber's did.

 

[kharma45]

hamilton's rear tyres going?

Looked like both his and Fernando's.

Button could well have him.

 

[Juicy Bob]

EDIT: Woops, thought that was ALG just then.

 

[kharma45]

See ya later Schumi :lol

 

[Brinbe]

wow :lol

 

[Stop It]

Looked like both his and Fernando's.

Button could well have him.

Hamilton just made the fastest lap of the race, but only took out 3tenths of a second. Go on Lewis, cook those tyres! You have 9 more laps to try that sort of pace.

Oof, bad lap there by Button, come on, don't give up!

 

[navanman]

Its Hamiltons now. He is lapping very fast now.

Edit: Told to look after tyres now.

 

[Juicy Bob]

"Look after your tyres?"

Lewis is probably thinking 'sod that' after what happened last time out.

 

[Diablohead]

Schumi might get a penalty for that 2nd move.

 

[navanman]

Schumi is being a BOLD German.

 

[Wax Free Vanilla]

schuey :lol

 

[Stop It]

Wow, Schumacher is still an utter, utter bastard.

Felipe gets screwed, his day has had 0 luck. That must end in a penalty really.

 

[kharma45]

Schumi is a crafty boy :lol

 

[Luckyman]

you can do it schumi
