What is up with Jenson hopefully he doesn't bring this bad form through to Quali because it's too far off from Lewis

Button keeps on tinkering with his car instead of believing in it and getting the best out of it.
He was great yesterday but I bet he changed loads on the car overnight just to try and make it "better".

Edit: Sky should keep Georgie as the host like she is today. Miles better than that creep Lazenbie.

Senna is looking surprisingly competitive this weekend. Sauber looking a little below par, Mercedes really not promising.

 

[navanman]

Red Bull or Hamilton on pole this afternoon IMO.

I just don't get it, contrastingly Lewis did his long runs yesterday before the rain came down and did some short runs in the other sessions, then fine tuned the balance seemingly. This session Jenson goes out to do his long runs doesn't even do an installation lap, complains about the front end grip, then under-steer, then it just seems to fall away when he puts the softs on. I can only hope that maybe the track being warmer added to it but he really doesn't need any more bad weekends with set-up issues, those jokers have been played.

Edit: and the Redbull Car adjustable ride height story is catching on, if true surely that's just plain cheating?

 

[Yen]

Jonny Herbert was just asking Cucumber to justify his existence. haha.

 

[navanman]

Cheating is breaking the rules and getting caught. Red Bull are "breaking the spirit of the rules" by (allegedly) cheating and then getting those rules clarified for future races.

Sky have picked up on the story:

Why is F1 interrupting these ads on Sky.

 

[Adamm]

Why is F1 interrupting these ads on Sky.

Because sky is awful

 

[nny]

Oh wow, we're in Community now. :/

Quali about to begin but I'm watching Table Tennis, Football and Cycling...need more eyes/screens!

 

[Adamm]

Need to take a break from Olympics to watch F1

 

[DrM]

Need good stream, because our broadcaster is showing cycling from Olympic

 

[pappe]

ESPN is not broadcasting the Qualy because of the Olympics in my country. Can some1 hook me up with a stream?

 

[brotkasten]

Good god, I hate Helmut Marko. He said in an interview that Button slipped due to his worn out rear tyres and didn't give Vettel enough space to get back on track and that he should've been equally penalized.

 

[bud23]

Red Bull or Hamilton on pole this afternoon IMO.

never forget to Alonso, 10-0 in Qualy with massa this season.

 

[Adamm]

Massa isn't happy lol

 

[Dutch Gronk]

Alonso not feeling it?

 

[navanman]

Ferrari nowhere speed wise so far.

 

[kiyomi]

Don't see what Massa is complaining about.

 

[brotkasten]

McLaren looks really good. I'm impressed.

 

[Dutch Gronk]

Lewis really fast at the moment. Wow.

Edit : Ferrari out on the softs?

 

[Nolan.]

What is happening

 

[brotkasten]

Everyone's already using options.

 

[SunhiLegend]

Don't see what Massa is complaining about.

He said he was blocked by Schumi

What, Alonso out on the softs.

 

[Adamm]

Senna is 2nd
Which senna is that?

 

[navanman]

All drivers except Hamilton will need to go out on softs because of Vergne times

 

[kiyomi]

He said he was blocked by Schumi

I saw it, I mean I don't think it is reasonable to complain, Schumacher got clear out of the way.

Come on Koba, deliver a lap, please >.<

 

[Dutch Gronk]

Hamilton on the hard compound 0.3 seconds faster than Alonso. Crazy.

 

[SunhiLegend]

Ferrari not looking good, Hamilton on the medium compound was faster than Alonso on the softs.

 

[Xun]

Hamilton is impressive so far.

 

[nny]

Red Bull's are on a dangerous place.

 

[DrM]

Ferrari not looking good, Hamilton on the medium compound was faster than Alonso on the softs.

Lewis is killing on medium compound

 

[Adamm]

Vettel pits? Risky

 

[Dutch Gronk]

Vettel pits? Risky

Seems like only Koba is an threat at the moment. He should be fine for now.

 

[Adamm]

16th & 17th for red bull!

 

[kiyomi]

1.2s covering the top 17?

 

[Risgroo]

Hamilton has this, what a lap. And on primes as well?

 

[SunhiLegend]

Hamilton was mighty quick, looks like he might have pole in the bag.

 

[Dilly]

Good god, I hate Helmut Marko. He said in an interview that Button slipped due to his worn out rear tyres and didn't give Vettel enough space to get back on track and that he should've been equally penalized.

Marko really is an idiot.

 

[Nolan.]

So Mclaren kinda forced the others to Use up a set of options and Jenson makes it out of Q3

 

[pants]

Senna is looking surprisingly competitive this weekend. Sauber looking a little below par, Mercedes really not promising.

Really enjoying Senna this weekend. I hope he makes Maldonado look like the lemon he is.

 

[DrM]

As it seems they found so called perfect set-up for medium tire compound on Hamilton's car

 

[Psychotext]

Ugh, sky coverage.

So is Massa's contract up at Ferrari now?

 

[Nolan.]

Really enjoying Senna this weekend. I hope he makes Maldonado look like the lemon he is.

Same, I hope this maintains for him as for Lewis he has always been faster on the mediums, for quite some races he has been pulling out this kind of gap as compared to the options. It's whether he can make the options give him some more time is the thing to watch. He never seems to get quite as much gain on the softer compound.

 

[navanman]

Seems so, as its the best tyre to use in the race tomorrow, I have a feeling he will go well.

 

[kiyomi]

Ugh, sky coverage.

You mean you don't want to see a replay of Massa-being-held-up-but-not-really-being-held-up?

 

[torontoml]

Qually isn't on tv here so I'm keeping myself informed through you guys and my live timing app

 

[Dutch Gronk]

Ugh, sky coverage.

So is Massa's contract up at Ferrari now?

I've read that they won't use the option in his contract for next year.

 

[pants]

Q2 brb!

Lets go Senna!
Lets go Kimi!

 

[SunhiLegend]

Kimi and Grosjean along with Hamilton were the only drivers who didn't use a set of the softs in Q1.

 

[AndyD]

Speed had an interesting extended discussion on all 4 wheels exiting the track during qualifying and races. I had no idea Alonso's pole lap last race was with all 4 wheels off.
