More track debris
they brought a new compound this weekend IIRC, also why would we want Formula RBR instead of F1 ?
Kimi and Alonso are exciting to watch with these tires, also you can smile on Saturdays watching Mercedes on top /kidding
I just hope 2014 is more pure skill and speed than pure car management...
Not a durable compound by the looks of it, unfortunately. I don't mind if tyres fall off a cliff performance wise, but when they fall to bits that's a problem. I don't understand what you mean by Formula RBR, sorry.

Agreed. Next year they will have to change them with much higher torque engines.

I think you would have a different opinion if Red Bull could handle the tires better.
The tires are shit just for safety reason.
I meant with no changes in regulations RBR was going to win every year, this year by changing something (tires) RBR forced to change something as well, isn't it more interesting to watch Kimi fighting for wins than Vettel lapping everyone every race ? as some F1 fan, not just a Vettel fan.
Kimi is always exciting to watch, even when he's just eating ice cream. <3

Massa is fucking back no doubt. As fun as it was lol'ing at him last year, dude deserves a run of success. Good to see him pulling his weight.
Damn right, he's been impressive this year.
Yeah, but I don't like mid season spec changes with the aim of changing the pecking order, as a rule. I would rather the teams compete knowing what the ground will be like when they design their car.
It's not RBR's fault the other teams are quite hard on tyres. And the tyres are now worse it seems in terms of safety.
De La Rosa, Spanish TV, "the only ones that complain about tires are those not leading the race, interesting" ha, could he be more biased.
edit: one more comment from the old chap, "racing this year is beautiful, last years I made a lot of money betting on Vettel for pole and race wins" hahah
wait, were all the teams in the dark pre-season regarding tires ?

yeah kind of. but not todayyy.. argh. he is ruining my top three predictions. But great race by ferrari so far.
Basically everyone?
So to sum this race up:
Everyone saving his tires and on tire management from the start.
The fight for the win has been limited to the first 5 laps with alonso the clear winner after that.
And the mid battles not being exciting as the last few races.
Barcelona sure knows how to deliver.

As ever. While everything else may suck at the moment, Barcelona has sucked for a long time now.
Is your TV stuck at the dash cam for Vettel or did you miss Kimi driving on paper tires in first place?
Spanish races have never been exciting with the exception of valencia last year which was pretty fun to watch.
how is Felipe so far behind Alonso, I put 10 euros on each (Alonso, Kimi, Massa) if Massa wins I get 8 times the money ! Alonso... not so much.
Alonso was spectacular there, granted he was very lucky with DNFs and whatnot

Apparently he doesn't belong in F1 dude. He must be a lap and 9 seconds behind, he couldn't have been faster than Vettel :/

I hope the Mercs get lapped.
I'd say Alonso working his everything for the race instead, he's like 20 seconds ahead of Massa same car...

Anyone else and I'd say they'd have to pit again, but with Kimi I think he can make it and hold off Massa.

Kimi stopped 4 laps before Alonso did, correct? And Massa 2 laps after Alonso?
No way Massa comes close to Kimi. He's been driving a great race, but Kimi's tires really need to drop off fast for Massa to have a shot at overtaking him.

Barca has always been zzzz though.
