This is pretty cool, I wonder how much Red Bull spends on P.R. with their demos...

Seoul Running

lol at the gopro on the top of the car and the rear wing. Seems so low tech.

 

[G-Unit]

hahahahaha mercedes hahahaha

 

[scorcher59]

FP2 just finished, seems like pole is locked to Vettel, smashing the fastest time of the session. Ferrari are gambling on a low downforce setup which i don't think works, it's just 1 long straight and a half!

 

[fu3lfr3nzy]

FP2 just finished

You mean FP3? FP2 was like 11 hours ago lol

 

[Shaneus]

Bahahaha. YES! That's amazing.

Yeah, Vettel seems to have dominated... though obviously we don't know what changes were made b/w FP2 and 3 or how the drivers were treating it. Hopefully the qualifying's more like FP2 than FP3!

 

[scorcher59]

LOL yeh sorry im still amazed at the pace of that Red Bull!

 

[Wax Free Vanilla]

Vettel domination for the rest of the season.

On 15th October the video component of BBC Red Button on Sky, FreeSat and Virgin Media will be reduced from five to one stream, bringing it in line with our Freeview offer. We are doing this because these services rely entirely on linear broadcast technologies, which are not cost-effective for an interactive service like the red button.

FP sessions to BBC HD? lol

No more classic grand prix, and no F1 Forum when a GP clashes with the gymnastics.

 

[Sloane]

Why am I awake? Vettel has the pole anyway.

 

[fu3lfr3nzy]

Why am I awake? Vettel has the pole anyway.

Vettel aside, theres plenty of lulz to be had for who gets unexpectedly doesnt make Q2 or Q3

 

[moojito]

Why am I awake? Vettel has the pole anyway.

I agree with this sentiment!

 

[Leunam]

Such a gloomy track.

 

[jey_16]

Dammit... Was that alonso's girlfriend?

 

[fu3lfr3nzy]

cucumber already messing up

 

[jey_16]

Might as well give the title to Vettel now.... Red Bull is so quick

 

[moojito]

Aye, the finger has it.

edit: those force indias are always really closely matched. Very consistent, hulk and di resta.

 

[Shaneus]

Have a good feeling about Webs this weekend. Pole and P1!

 

[bobnowhere]

Hami could be in trouble!


Edit - Very lucky senna ballsed it up, FA 16th, LH 17th in Q1

 

[Shaneus]

Hamilton's gonna be out in Q1

Edit: Senna's fucked it, Hamilton's barely made it.

 

[Sloane]

Hamilton and Alonso giving up?

 

[BrokenSymmetry]

Alonso and Hamilton last 2 through in Q1!

 

[moojito]

Senna must be gone next year. Compared to Maldonado he's been doing rubbish. Should've kept Barrichello.

 

[jey_16]

Wow... That was close, ferrari is a dog

 

[Risgroo]

Damn that was close for Hamilton. Alonso's pace on options is very worrying.

 

[Shaneus]

We calling another RBR front row lockout?

 

[Risgroo]

Yep

 

[Psychotext]

I stayed up... can only get a couple of hours sleep after this now. =/

That aside, wtf Hamilton & Alonso?

 

[bobnowhere]

Nico Rosberg has very well groomed eyebrows.

 

[Shaneus]

That aside, wtf Hamilton & Alonso?

Exactly. I missed the first bit of Q1, but their times couldn't have been that crash hot to start with. Risking far too much, pulling in that early.

Apparently the track is improving fairly dramatically as time goes on.

Usual suspects looking safe now, but Alonso will hurt after having to use the supers.

 

[Psychotext]

Odd. I would have thought 1:37.7 would have been fine.

 

[Shaneus]

Is that what they were just talking about? Yeah, that seems incredibly odd.

 

[Psychotext]

Interesting, I expected to see the Red Bull in the top ten speed trap speeds given their new double drs.

 

[Shaneus]

Webber was having problems this morning? Anyone have any idea what that was?


And just to clarify, DDRS is where the DRS opens a vent that pipes air to the front wing to reduce drag or something, yeah?

 

[jey_16]

Why is alonso going out again?

 

[Psychotext]

Webber was having problems this morning? Anyone have any idea what that was?

Webber had engine electrical problems, and yeah, DDRS is basically that (though the red bull system works on the lower part of the rear wing).

 

[Psychotext]

Buttonlol

 

[fu3lfr3nzy]

Button

Spoiler

fuckin STR and yellow flag

 

[Risgroo]

Fuck

 

[Draconian]

It never fails that somebody always brings out a yellow on everybody's hot lap and ruins the end of a qualifying session.

 

[Pimpwerx]

That fucking STR cost Button a trip to Q3, and probably cost my fantasy team pretty big as a result. I knew I should have gone all Red Bull. PEACE.

 

[jey_16]

Fuck.... Alonso wasted a set of super softs

 

[Sloane]

Such an anticlimactic ending to the season.

 

[Shaneus]

It never fails that somebody always brings out a yellow on everybody's hot lap and ruins the end of a qualifying session.

It's the second time in a row it's happened, but I can't remember it happening again this year.

If it's any consolation to those hedging bets on McLaren, a few look like they might drop back for not slowing down for the yellow.


I missed what happened to Ricciardo's car... some kind of mech failure?

 

[nny]

Bad news: Crashjean will start in the top 10.

 

[BrokenSymmetry]

Why is Rosberg waiting for a green light?

 

[fu3lfr3nzy]

Varsha finally talking about the NBC F1 deal. They all sound sad :/

 

[Shaneus]

"What do you have to do from P11?"
Fucking mickey mouse questioning there. What sort of answer do you expect?!?

PS. Hoping the Lotii get penalised for possibly not slowing down with the yellow.

 

[Psychotext]

Vettel all over it.

Alonso looking quick though, could be good for the race.

 

[AcridMeat]

I missed what happened to Ricciardo's car... some kind of mech failure?

Transmission failure.

 

[Draconian]

Holy crap Hamilton and Schumi.

 

[fu3lfr3nzy]

Schumi getting a penalty for that :/
