The Red Bull is like its has super glue on its tyres. Its got scary scary grip, its can just get on the power so so early.

Great result for Hamilton too. 2nd for him is amazing.

Well then, Vettel has shown why he is WC. :bow: :bow:

Hamilton 2nd, somehow pipping Webber who must be annoyed at being 3rd, Button 4th and Alonso 5th.

Behind him is Petrov, somehow in 6th, Rosberg 7th, Massa 8th, Kobayashi 9th and Buemi 10th.

Tomorrow will be epic, especially if Webber gets bottled up behind Hamilton. Of course, what will the tyres do? One thing is certain, Vettel is the man to beat, but ho can beat him? Himself, or his car, probably!

Yeah, that's just... wow. You can't even hate him for driving that well. Insane.

Webber will need to step up his start (FFS) and his aggression if he wants any part in an RBR 1-2

Well, Heidfeld proved once again that he's not a top driver. At least this should be his last year in F1, to give some chance to some rookie.

If anyone is interested tomorrow, join the NeoGAF F1 2010 group on steam and we'll be in the official group chat for that during the race.
http://steamcommunity.com/groups/F1GAF <--We had 5 of us for Qualifying, would be great to have more tomorrow.

So Vettel didn't even use KERS to destroy the field? Way to demoralise the competition guys. Honestly guys, give the rest a chance will you?

Webber looked suicidal in that press conference, Vettel was in zen mode still. If he keeps this state of mind and gets rid of the errors, it'll be 2004 all over again. Schumacher 2.0 confirmed?

Damn your stealth edit Acrid.

Vettel/Hamilton/webber collision at first corner.....button wins :p
Vettel and Hammy are heavy tyre users... 7 pit stops for them. Only 3 for Webber, 4 for Button.

Webber wins.

Ferrari looks very unstable and it is sliding on corner exits like crazy. They lost a lot of time in sector 3, around 6-8 tenths.

Mclaren looks like they found some sand bags around exhaust system and removed them out :lol

Webber apparently wasn't using KERS either.

I sincerely pray that the radical exhaust solution is still being worked on by Mclaren.

Whitmarsh said that they could develop it further - right now, finding legal durable material is the main issue.
 
So Red Bull saving KERS and still posting those times... o_0 We have Lewis confirmed to have not used KERS; any word on Jenson? McLaren and Red Bull = sogood.gif

If PET can go P6, KUB would have destroyed. Get Robert a joystick and let him control the car remotely. Heidfeld am disappoint. Was hoping for more out of Williams; but still, they have a better package to develop than last year. And Lotus, wtf? Maybe glue some hairdryers to the car, aim them at the tires during races. I dunno?

And yeah, S.L., STR is the new FI for the fantasy league this year. Thank you BUE and ALG!

Nothing like getting up at 6 after a couple of hours of sleep to bike home after having had to go to my gf's last night. I thought it was going to be a calm day home alone for me - but no, she had to get as drunk has she never has been (she rarely drinks) with her roomie. Her roomie called me saying "your girlfriend's really drunk!", only to go down there and clean up vomit and listen to "you know I love you?" for two hours straight before I finally got some shut eye. And people wonder why I don't drink more often!

Then I bought that expensive Live Timing app for the iPad/iPhone only to see that live timing was down. Better be up tomorrow :fist:

Anyway, I should be nice and tired for tonight so I'll be up for tomorrow's race! GET IT TOGETHER SCHUMACHER!

Rather boring quali if you ask me as the gaps between the teams are too great.

Best bit was Ron Dennis' humble pie for EJ.

Missed the qualfying.

Why is Massa so low?

Because he keeps messing up.

They were commenting on how even with a stiff Ferrari, Massa shouldn't have spun in T1. My dad commented "it's like he's had one too many blows to the head". We both laughed in a sort of "that's not appropriate" kind of way.
 
Oh, and :bow KOB :bow

I love you Felipe, but gtfo. Give the Ferrari to Kamui. With the F150th whatever sliding around like a drunk ice-skater, it'd suit his driving style.

Q3: exits the pits and spins at Turn 1. smh.

Heidfield had KERS malfunction+other problems and Lotus had their wing stuck in high downforce config. (Source is Autosport)

Oh and for the first time in years - no commercials during the program. That annoying commentator is still there ...

Newey must be breaking the rules again. The Red Bull car is too fast. Ferrari needs to replace Massa, preferably by last season already. The McLaren not as shit everyone tought it would be. Hamilton is good with KERS (in 2008 he gained 2-4 positions of the start every race), so could he make an early overtake on Vettel tomorrow? We'll see.

The 1st driver that drops out of the race bet in f1racemanager. Does it apply to the cars that does not make the race because of the 107% rules?
