Was during quali yesterday.

Did you find out if it was perma or not?

 

[Omiee]

Man, hoping Webber can find an extra few hundredths on Fernando. I don't see there being any other major shuffles for the rest of the race, either. At least, for the top 4-5.

Yeah i think its going to stay this way. Unless ferrari make a fuck up in the pit or maldonado running into someone he has a win in the bag.

 

[SunhiLegend]

We're only half way through the race.

Stop trying to jinx it Omiee

I'm no private investigator

Looking like Alonso's race to lose.

Can still start to rain.

 

[Omiee]

We're only half way through the race.

I know but people are settling in, web and vettel are showing any better pace and the lead is already 6 sec.

lol im not jinxing it.

Battle for 3rd is still very much on massa and kimi can still take it.

why is lewis in again?

 

[brotkasten]

A boring race so far, but better than another Vettel win.

And fuck you, Pastor Maldonado.

 

[Adamm]

His avatar is gone, so it looks like it might be a perma

 

[Shaneus]

Webber up another .2 _b

Man, short stint for Ham.

 

[jey_16]

That's a long stint for hamilton

 

[Omiee]

Kimi is closing in on massa fast.

 

[Sloane]

So, how is Red Bull going to deal with the Webber / Vettel situation? Accidental longer stop for Webber?

 

[Nevasleep]

Hamilton only lasted for 8 laps.

 

[PandaJones]

And fuck you, Pastor Maldonado.

Really? I still think it's quite exciting, maybe if it had rained it would be more interesting but there's been some great overtaking and the pit strategies are good too.

 

[Ark]

I don't see Hamilton's strategy working out, but here's hoping Lewis & McLaren can prove me wrong.

 

[Nolan.]

Mclaren fucked up I think

 

[thechemist]

Massa slowly catching Vettel, who in turn is being caught by kimi?

 

[smiggyRT]

Webber slowly reeling Alonso in now.

 

[brotkasten]

Lotus and Grosjean are doing a really great job on preserving those tyres. The Pirella really seem to suit them.

 

[olore]

And Button...

 

[Omiee]

You know what would be brilliant if vettel has the pace and is closing in on webber if horner will tell vettel to maintain the gap.

If he does not than i will be with all the guy's who say vettel is number 1 in the team. Webber is 2nd in the championship and has track position.

Bernie: "Turn the sprinklers on!" :lol

That's just so weird to read ... almost looks like a typo.

 

[Fantomex]

I'm gonna have to venture to the stream world now

 

[Dead Man]

Gah, can't watch the rest of the race, I have to actually do work, the nerve of these people! Anyway, I'll catch a replay, have fun gents.

 

[brotkasten]

I missed some parts of the race and the first 10 laps or so weren't that exciting. It's better now, I had to admit.

 

[PandaJones]

Bernie: "Turn the sprinklers on!" :lol

lol I bet he would if he could ...

 

[TCRS]

I don't see Hamilton's strategy working out, but here's hoping Lewis & McLaren can prove me wrong.

Jup, it didn't work in Valencia and I don't think it will work here.

 

[Omiee]

That is costing lewis some time. Button should let hamilton go since he is on a different strategy. Grosjean is much closer now.

 

[jey_16]

Hmmm....so Alonso is going to be on the sorts for the final stint while webber & vettel can go to the hard, not over at all

 

[Adamm]

Great drive from grosjean

 

[PandaJones]

You'll love the start and those few laps after ... I was ready for a boring race too but so far it's been pretty cool

 

[DBT85]

Good stop again for Button, 3.1 seconds

 

[Shaneus]

Vettel pit! Can only guess Webber's not far off... he was a few laps earlier for the first stop.

Webber now at 5.4. Maybe he can outlast Nando?

 

[Omiee]

Webber is the only one who still has a chance he will be on the hard tire while alonso will have a short stint on the softs.

Man grosjean is close to hamilton.

 

[brotkasten]

Vettel seems to be on a really good strategy and it looks like McLaren got their pit stops right. 3.1 seconds isn't bad at all.

 

[SunhiLegend]

Hamilton and Grosjean moving up the field

 

[Mohonky]

That Mclaren is looking more and more uncompetitive every race.

 

[Omiee]

I love team radio from hamilton, he is always so honest on them.

I have no pace, i cant go any slower, grosjean is faster than me.

 

[brotkasten]

That camera still looks so game-y to me. Hockenheim got a similar one, right?

 

[Adamm]

Ferrari 1 2!

 

[Omiee]

That Mclaren is looking more and more uncompetitive every race.

Yeah they need some upgrades, the ones they brought with them are not working.


Webber in.

Vettel has the fastest time. Closing in on kimi.

 

[smiggyRT]

Alonso Webber Vettel podium.

 

[Ark]

Is that rain on the camera?

EDIT: Nope.

 

[jey_16]

Looks pretty dark.....rain soon?

 

[Omiee]

Looks pretty dark.....rain soon?

Rain would be horrible for the Red bull's

I dont expect any rain though, their forecast etc and people on the track would have told them.

 

[Mohonky]

Hope it rains to mix things up.

 

[PandaJones]

Alonso Webber Vettel podium.

I was hoping Alonso, Webber, Kimi with Shumi 4th ... fat chance lol

 

[Septimius]

You know what I've been noting the last two races? When Rosberg is doing a really anonymous race, like he is doing today, no one cares. When Schumacher has one, everyone comments on it, and notes it to a much higher degree. It feels a bit like we're saying Rosberg has been better than Schumacher because his poor performances go unnoticed, while that's not the case for Schumacher. Of course, this year is hard to judge, with all the poor luck Schumacher's had. I just don't see the case of "Rosberg seems better than Schumacher".

 

[Lucius86]

Rain would make the end of the race brilliant.

PLEASE.
