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).

I know Hamiton only did 7 laps on his soft tires. Not sure about the other ones.

 

[Sloane]

It actually looks darker now. Make it rain already!

 

[Nevasleep]

Looks like everyone was out of the way, so hopefully just a few bruises.

 

[kharma45]

Get the sprinklers on Bernie.

 

[Mohonky]

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

Yeh start of the year it was supposed to bethe car to have, but it just hasnt gotten faster when the others have. Ferrari is much better, red bull finding their car, lotus getting faster and faster and short of some shitty luck could be right up there. Even the midfield teams coming up, the Mclaren just sort of floundering, doesnt seem like they have improved it at all, even a few racsago hamilton holding his own but not really able to doanything about the cas in front, just stuck in limbo.

 

[Fantomex]

I see Alonso dropping all the way to 4th with those tires. Webber winning is not a bad thing, he works hard for a #2 driver

 

[brotkasten]

Yeah, another Canada would be really, really bitter for Fernando.

Im not gonna lie i would be happy with a webber win.

 

[Acidote]

I don't see Alonso dropping to 4th, but Webber has this.

 

[SunhiLegend]

Yeah, another Canada would be really, really bitter for Fernando.

That would be the worse.

 

[Omiee]

I don't see Alonso dropping to 4th, but Webber has this.

Yeah no way ferrari let massa go past alonso.

 

[Lucius86]

I think its going to be really close, but Alonso should just have enough.

 

[criesofthepast]

Alonso will make it.

 

[Shaneus]

Im not gonna lie i would be happy with a webber win.

I like you.

But not so much to hope that Nando holds up Vettel to third But Webber is lapping half a sec quicker. I think.

Stupid iPhone app.

Edit: 3.5 secs. Looking not bad! If Webber can get another win... holy fuck, I'll be happy. In a car that I'm co-driving.

 

[smiggyRT]

Massa fastest lap.

Edit- Now Grosjean

 

[brotkasten]

That would be the worse.

After winning the last race, getting the pole this race and basically doing the same mistake from Canada again? Yeah, it's worse.

 

[SunhiLegend]

If Alonso starts to drop places because of the tyres, do you think Ferrari would tell Massa not to overtake him?

 

[PandaJones]

Fingers crossed Alonso can still make it. If it started raining it would be terrible though.

 

[Nolan.]

Alonso has won this 14 laps on the options should be fine the Ferrari looked after it's tyres well in traffic so in clear air I don't see the problem

 

[Jensen]

Yeah, another Canada would be really, really bitter for Fernando.

14 laps on softs is achievable, cars have burnt off most of their fuel and the track is rubbered in.

Who's the girl in the McLaren bunker?
One of the Sauber guys is being taken on a stretcher? Trying to confirm, back to you guys!

 

[Omiee]

4th 5th and 6th setting fastest times behind each other lol.

Grosjean is flying. He could take kimi.

Who's the girl in the McLaren bunker?

Girlfriend of lewis's brother.

 

[Acidote]

Alonso should have lasted longer on his first hard tires. He was making good times.

 

[Septimius]

Wasn't Hamilton's little brother a guy who had some huge problems years ago? I remember him barely able to stand, now he's like a 100% normal person. Am I missing something here?

 

[brotkasten]

If Alonso starts to drop places because of the tyres, do you think Ferrari would tell Massa not to overtake him?

Should that happen, Alonso needs to save every single point for the championship. So yeah, I could see this happening.

 

[Dutch Gronk]

If Alonso starts to drop places because of the tyres, do you think Ferrari would tell Massa not to overtake him?

Massa has no business in front of Alonso, I would think they keep him behind Alonso at all costs.

 

[navanman]

Webber can win this.

 

[Shaneus]

Man, if those Lotus' do well, my F1RM is gonna look pretty sweet!

 

[olore]

Lewis`s brothers GF I would presume?

Had to cover webber and vettel.....probably a mistake starting with the hard tyre, I don't see what they gained from it

[kharma45]

Come on Schumi, catch Hamilton!

 

[smiggyRT]

BBC did a documentary on him, and the Hamilton family. Well worth watching.

 

[Omiee]

3.3 gap now, this is webber's race to lose now.

 

[keit4]

Looks like Webber is saving tyres for the end of the race...

EDIT: not anymore lol

 

[Septimius]

What's the cliff notes?

 

[ramparter]

Broadcasters here in Greece are so stupid, they were wondering how could Alonso spend 25 secs on the pits and come in front of Webber since their difference was only 21 secs...

LOLOLOLOL

 

[Juicy Bob]

Really like how quickly Webbah's closing the gap.

 

[Shaneus]

Webber 1s quicker last lap. This could happen earlier than we expect.

 

[Fantomex]

4th 5th and 6th setting fastest times behind each other lol.

Grosjean is flying. He could take kimi.




Girlfriend of lewis's brother.

Aaaaaah thanks mate. What Ferrari needs is massa to climb up and do what he does best, fail and take peeps with him he's not the crash dummy they need, but the kamikaze they deserve.

 

[TCRS]

Alonso-Webber gap is closing. Damn!

 

[Omiee]

gap is 2.2 now what happened?

 

[criesofthepast]

Damn that gap closing fast.

 

[smiggyRT]

What's the cliff notes?

"In 2011, 19-year old Nic Hamilton dreamed of following his brother Lewis in to motor racing. But as well as the pressure of being a Hamilton and never having raced a car in his life, Nic also has a disability that had him using a wheelchair until he was 16."

 

[Shaneus]

1.3s gap! DRS probably now?!?

 

[Omiee]

Im getting excited webber's second sector was half a second faster. Another second taken out of the gap by that lap.

WEBBBEEEER IS FLYING PEOPLEEEEEE.

 

[kharma45]

Ruh-oh, stop managing your tires Nando and go a wee bit faster, plz.

 

[Dutch Gronk]

I don't get Alonso his pace, is his pace really that bad on the softs ? Insane

 

[jey_16]

Yeah, webber has got this. Poor strategy by Ferrari

 

[Fantomex]

Alonso is nursing those tires, he has no problem with Webber burning his to get close. This will be a great last laps.
