The Formula 1 2012 Season |OT2| WHY AREN'T YOU WATCHING THIS SEASON?!
- Thread starter Leunam
- Start date
Oh look that insurmountable 40 points lead went away in just 2 races. And I was thinking he was just going to run away with the championship since he always had the fastest car.
Lotus messed up by not letting D'Ambrosio riding any practice sessions. He only had one day in the car this season before Monza.
Let's hope Massa can take out Vettel, Hamilton and Button at the start so Ferrari's plan pay off.
The bad performance of Alonso was due to a broken piece(rear anti-roll bar) during Q3.

Spin on the last lap at parabolica.
And the only test session he had was in the wet.
The Ferrari International Assistance will do everything in their power to assist Ferrari.
It's no wonder he's confident.

Always the fastest car? Did we watch a different season?
He must be fuming. In an interview with Sky he said that he could've easily beaten the 1:24.0xx from Hamilton.
Imagine how Deadman felt when I changed my screen name to Dead Man.
With a decent car they try and come up crazy strategies when in all honesty it should be opposite. Ferrari and Mclaren really fail hard at that whilst Redbull with a good or sub-par car always seems to be on top of strategy (at least on Vettel's side of the garage). Anyway I really hope Mclaren can finish where they qualify so the Championship can be shaken up even more.
Just like in 2007. Oh wait...
No chance of crazy strategies because Pirelli believes the hard tyre lasts almost the entire race. It's going to be a 1-stop strategy for everybody. And even if Ferrari made up a crazy strategy it would just be a bad one.

I hope this silly GP2 race can lighten up my mood a bit, but I doubt it.
Considering where Massa came, probably.
Ferrari's car this weekend is strong, even despite the issues Alonso had.
I was joking, relax.
What's the bet Massa causes Hamilton and Button to crash out before turn 2?
Not sure what happened on Hamilton's final run, but after seeing his pole lap he could have gone quicker himself.

I called it. If it wasn't for Alonso's fuck up, he would've been up there.
How could he screw up not one, but TWO laps in Q3? ah well, why am I complaining? I hope he drives like shit in the race too..
GOO KIMI!

Reputation damage control? I felt so sorry for Massa, the commentator didn't even welcome him back to the top 3 after such a long time (2-3 years?) he immediately asked him about Alonso! That's disrespectful
If they fix that "mechanical failure" does he get a grid penalty? or that's only applicable on engines and gearboxes?
They should be able to fix it without a penalty. They can work on the car, but they have to be finished by a certain time. (Can't work at night)
I think Alonso will not have a grid penalty but anyways too bad, his car seemed the fastest.
Alonso;

Starting from P10 at Monza is already penalty enough. I'd be surprised if he comes out of the first chicane without a problem.
The Ferrari in general seemed fast.
I'm still not personally sure Ferrari play by the rules (at Italy anyway), but I know I'll be called out on that.

DAMN. There is a Zero percent chance that I will get the patches downloaded in time

Lol... start now... you may just make it.
So how many cars do you guys predict wont make it past the first corner? I think 3.
I hope they give the drivers a good firm instruction not to cut the chicane at the start. Otherwise the bitching in the thread will never end on who got what advantage and who was pushed vs. did it on prupose.

I forgot about that crash last year. I love how he just glides into the pack with nothing he can do about it.
Still got not nothing on last week's though innit.

HRT?
Obviously.

With that top speed Red Bull will have a hard time to stay ahead if cars behind them get to use DRS.
Considering their topspeed, a cucumber is probably more aerodynamic than the HRT.
And it will seriously compromise their ability to overtake with DRS.

Things are shaping up to give us a bloody close end to the championship, what with Alonsos bad luck, Red Bull's lack of speed and the McLarens seemingly destined to take points off each other.
Lovely stuff.
