5th place again, hopefully Alonso can get a podium but it is going to be tough now that Mercedes have joined the party

 

[Ark]

I can't wait for Newey to leave RBR, just to see how they progress when he's gone.

 

[Shaneus]

They won't. When Newey goes, Vettel's future goes with him.

that will be a long ass wait, lol

Yup, anyway lets see if Vettel will be able to keep his position at the front tomorrow

I've got time.

Newey is one of the highest paid people in F!, he earns more than most drivers on the grid. He won't be leaving for a while.

It makes no difference, he's got to retire eventually.

Where would he go if he were to leave Red Bull? He‘s won championships with Williams and McLaren, so there‘s no reason to go back to them. Ferrari seems the obvious choice, but somehow I doubt it. I guess he could just retire and enjoy his racing hobby.

RedBull's next product won't be an energy drink but a youth drink so the can keep Newey forever

Ferrari made an approach to try to get him last year and probably offered a very big salary. I think he is enjoying his work at Red Bull, he has turned a mid-tier team owned by an energy drink firm into the team to beat in F1, that has to be more satisfying than going to Ferrari or staying at McLaren and winning a championship using large budgets and endless resources.

 

[Ark]

Ferrari should get Byrne back.

Newey is at RBR because of the challenge, not the pay.

#1 guess would be to start his own team.

 

[brotkasten]

Could someone post the top 10? I'm on my phone right now and don't know a sports site with a mobile page.

 

[Templar Wizard]

Massa the pumpkinhead destroyed on 'his banker track'.
false dawn indeed.

 

[Templar Wizard]

bbc.com have a mobile version.

[Deadman]

Massa didnt do a lap in the final part of qualifying due to mechanical troubles, he was hardly destroyed.

 

[Psychotext]

Just finished watching the Capeta anime.

 

[Leunam]

Was really hoping someone would pull a fast time out of their ass to at least split the Red Bulls. Oh well.

 

[Animal]

I don't know about you guys but that was a very boring qualification for me. I hope the race will be better.

 

[Leunam]

Aside from seeing Rosberg do well and Kovalainen almost get into Q2, yeah, it was very boring.

 

[Lucius86]

Lets just hope someone from the 2nd row jumps the Red Bulls on the first lap.

 

[Leunam]

Heads up for those that didn't know, GP2 coverage starts tomorrow before the race.

 

[Ark]

I've got a feeling that Qualy is going to be even more boring this year, than it was last year.

 

[Edmond Dantès]

I'll take that if if means most of the races end up being as exciting as China.

 

[Templar Wizard]

idiots like you make me laugh.
Massa didnt dio a lap because HE fucked it up.

From the man himself:

As for my Q3, I only had one set of soft tyres left, but in my attempt I slightly locked a tire coming out a bit wide in my approach.

Destroyed SON.

 

[AcridMeat]

#1 guess would be to start his own team.

I'd love to see a Newey team. See what drivers would be begging to move over to it.

 

[ashk]

I don't think him owning a team is good in any way. He already has all the creative freedom he wants in Red Bull. Him being team owner would just add further responsibilities that would take away from his main focus as an engineer.

 

[S. L.]

RBR more or less is team Newey

well making a Ferrari that can win shit seems like the biggest challenge at the moment

So true. :lol

 

[Edmond Dantès]

Domenicali's under huge pressure right now, I could see him being ousted very soon. Then there could be other personal changes, specifically in the technical department (Aldo Costa and Nicholas Tombazis). A mass upheaval is what a lot of the Tifosi want right now.

You should be more respectful, mate.

 

[Sew]

Agreed, that was pretty uncalled for.

 

[Ark]

Predicting a boring race tomorrow, I hope I'm wrong.

Off to bed for now.

 

[mclaren777]

If you use torrents I can give you an invite code to Demonoid. I use that site to download HD versions of BBC's coverage, because I don't have BBC HD.

Same here. Been using demonoid, but would love a better alternative.

What?! Why in the world would you use such a colossally inferior torrent site?

I'm truly shocked. I thought everyone knew about Racing Underground by now. Wow!

I'm willing to give you two each an invite if you'd like. Shoot me a PM if you're interested.

 

[mclaren777]

I was disappointed to see Hamilton go back out for a second run in Q3. I was really hoping that he would save those tires for the race.


And here's a new picture for the Vettel-lovers out there...

 

[mclaren777]

Lewis gonna get his tomorrow!

 

[AcridMeat]

What's wrong with Kobayashi?

 

[mclaren777]

What's wrong with Kobayashi?

He only did part of one lap at the beginning of Q1.

 

[AcridMeat]

He only did part of one lap at the beginning of Q1.

Well that's no good! Though it sets up the opportunity for many Kobayashi overtakes.

 

[Salacious Crumb]

.

 

[Leunam]

Looks like Kobayashi may start 23rd, since D'ambrosio has that grid penalty.

 

[AcridMeat]

My buddy won't be able to watch it tomorrow, looks like I'm going to get up at 5am to watch this mother fucker.

Steam chat bros fo lyf.

 

[Zinga]

Alonso did his maximum in Qualifying, podium is possible if he has a clean race, hopefully he can pull it off

 

[Shaneus]

I'm there... unless Mother's Day lunch puts me to sleep before then.

 

[Chris R]

Stupid fantasy stuff. Spend all my cash to upgrade to Kobiyashi and this is how the most exciting driver in the field rewards me??? :< Dude better dust like 15 people in the race.

I can see him performing the most overtakes in the race, if he doesn't crash out in the early stages.

 

[DrM]

Only RBR and Mercedes did that.
Will Webber screw up his start? I say YES

I actually have a good feeling about his start for some reason. It's his highest quali this season, it will be his best start (though admittedly, that's not saying much).
