What happened to Red Bull's amazing pace from Valencia?

 

[criesofthepast]

My 1-2 Alonso/Massa prediction looking good so far.

What happened to Red Bull's amazing pace from Valencia?

I think mclaren engineer said it last week: they were just fast on that track and in those conditions. They got the tires working for them. I dont think they actually were a second faster because of their upgrades.

Massa surely has to pit again.

e: And he does.

 

[Shaneus]

Webber fastest lap _b

 

[Dutch Gronk]

Webber to overtake Alonso with pitsstops.

 

[DBT85]

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.

They put half on Buttons and Half on Hamiltons. They didn't get enough running to analyse everything properly.

 

[SunhiLegend]

Grosjean flying

 

[Mohonky]

Grosjean will pass Hamilton, just seems a formality...and there it is.

Becoming frustrating as a hamilton / macca fan. They have steadily fallen off pace with each gp and it just doesnt look like Hamilton can reel the front runners in no matter how hard he drives.

....and Button? Eh.

 

[Omiee]

How long is the pit lane time? because the gap between webber and alonso is 20 sec is that enough for alonso?

 

[Fantomex]

Webber is cutting into that lead now.

 

[Shaneus]

Another fastest!


Wonder how well the Ferrari handles the softs... we know the hards are good, but that's it.

 

[SunhiLegend]

Wait, Alonso has to pit again but Webber and Vettel don't?

How much time does Alonso have to be infront of Webber to stay out in front.

 

[Dutch Gronk]

How long is the pit lane time? because the gap between webber and alonso is 21 sec is that enough for alonso?

Dutch commentator just said a good pitsstop is 20-21 seconds.

 

[smiggyRT]

Come on Webber.

 

[Lucius86]

Wait, Alonso has to pit again but Webber and Vettel don't?

How much time does Alonso have to be infront of Webber to stay out in front.

16 seconds.

 

[Omiee]

Come on webber!!!! Alonso can not go on the soft tire now its to to long to go for a stint of 16 laps.

 

[PandaJones]

How long now until Nando needs to pit? Should have just enough time to stay with the hard tyres for a bit longer still, no?

 

[keit4]

Pit stop for Fernando.

 

[brotkasten]

There he comes and really early. Bad stop too.

 

[criesofthepast]

Good pit.

 

[Lucius86]

Ooooo. Soft tyres could grain with so many laps left.

 

[kharma45]

Come on Nando, make these tires last.

 

[Omiee]

Alonso has to do 14 laps on those tires. This will be a interesting last part of the race.

 

[Acidote]

Not a bad pit stop, but I think Webber will get this.

 

[SunhiLegend]

Will the softs last 14 laps?

This could get close.

Yeah, sitting here thinking the same. Wasn´t McLaren talked about as the run-away winner of this entire season back in March/April? And here they are... pretty much not in it

 

[PandaJones]

Ah ... some lag on my feed it would seem.

 

[Shaneus]

Can those softs last 14 laps?

Fuck, Kobays pit guys!

 

[Sloane]

Damn Koba.

 

[DBT85]

Ouch for the Sauber guys.

 

[TCRS]

14 laps on soft tyres? ohoh...

 

[Fantomex]

Kobayashi lols?

 

[criesofthepast]

Yikes. Koby pit crew run over ((

 

[Omiee]

Ouch that looks so painful.

 

[CurlySaysX]

Kobayashi!!!
TSKTSK

 

[Nolan.]

Ouch Kobay that was dangerous

 

[Acidote]

Koba!

 

[Adamm]

Oh dear koba

 

[Dutch Gronk]

Holy shit, Kobayashi nearly killing his pitcrew.

 

[nny]

Koba....ouch.

 

[smiggyRT]

Ouch.

 

[Nevasleep]

Kob

 

[keit4]

HOLY SHIT KOBA

 

[brotkasten]

Ooooo. Soft tyres could grain with so many laps left.

I don't see how this will work. Ferrari probably should've done hard, soft, hard. The Ferrari is barely any faster on the softs, iirc.

 

[Shaneus]

How long did Vettel and Webber make their softs last? We know that Ferrari's drop off DAMN quick when they do (a la Canada).

 

[SunhiLegend]

 

[NihonTiger90]

Kobayashi needs no pit crew.

 

[Omiee]

If the race ends like it is right now RBR will extend their lead in the constructors.

I think vettel managed 11 laps on the softs and hamilton 8 laps.

 

[RomanticHeroX]

Those clouds are looming. Is some last minute rain too much to ask?
