The Formula 1 2013 Season |OT| End of the Webber Era
- Thread starter Leunam
- Start date
they're saying Lotus had informed their drivers during the SC period that they would hold station, something that Kimi of course "dind't hear" so this is what Grosjean is mad about, whatever, moving on.
well he had the perfect setup for S1, and S1 was the only sector available to overtake so....

Who's "they"? This is what Boullier said:
Romain gets frustrated obviously because he did a small mistake on the restart after the Safety car and Kimi just past him.
I think he was begging some team orders to let him past but he has a mistake and it was a normal racing time.
I think he could have been quicker but he was a little upset and he lost concentration so its just part of his learning curve, Boullier added.
they were intended to hold station but Grosjean' mistake changed the plan, as I said above you can't blame Kimi, it was GRO to take and he let it go, and btw they = TV post-race.

Was the race worth watching?

The middle part was a bit boring but the last 20 or so laps were great!
That's what I want to know as well.
I couldn't be bothered getting up early to watch it.

Grosjean seems reckless to me.What James Hunt used to say about Allesandro Nannini, that he was quick but stupid behind the wheel, kind of applies to Grosjean.
How much do you hate Webber? If the answer is "lots", then yes.
Just watched the race. There were some boring bits but the end was pretty nice to watch actually. Watching vettel at the start of the year was much more fun since you got to see much more of him because of overtakes etc. Last year was even better. This part of the year its just watching the time tables and hoping nothing happenes to his car or tires.
But man the nerve on alonso. Lewis was defending as a champ and alonso started waving his hand out of anger because he could not pass him. Was he expecting lewis to just let him past or something?
Good drive by hulkenberg def deserves it. His car was amazing in turn S1. So much more grip than lewis.
Championship should be sealed by india i reckon.

Even as a die-hard Kimi fan who never gives up on him in any given race, I'm surprised by what he's able to pull in the races!! Wish he can just get over his quali issues!!
Dare I say luck is also playing on his side for few races for a fucking change?!!!!!! It feels awesome
EDIT: And man of the year is Hulk, Williams are shit to drop him for Crashdonado. Shame he didn't get that Ferrari seat (not that I wish he did on the expense of Kimi) and what's the deal with McLaren and German drivers??! Why aren't they even "talking" to Hulk, and they took that sorry excuse for a driver Perez

LOL That made my day...
My f1 love is fading fast. This was the forth time i fell asleep within 15 laps. This redbull domination is boring me to hell. At least barrichello could challenge schumie... webber is such a joke(inside job by redbull, I agree on that)
And this fucking tires.... I WANT THEM TO GO ALL OUT ALL RACE, NOT THIS PUSSY ASS RACING.

There were fires.
Random jeeps on the track.
HULK BEING GOD DAMN AWESOME.
Hamilton getting fucked.
Tyre blowout.
What more do you want?
Crazy fan video from Dario's Indy car crash. Stationary views really give you much better sense of speed. Hope everyone was ok.

No surprise that Red Bull has the highest budget in the F1 if they also need to develop an inferior B car for Webber.
Put the shit tinfoil away and post more about Alonso.

A typical character trait of Japanese drivers.

Motorsport Total says Brawn will leave Mercedes at the end of the season.
McLaren deny Brawn is one of their headline grabbing tech signings.
Newey and Prodromou returning to Mclaren it is then...
The McLaren-Honda dream team of Alonso, Button, Newey and Prodromou to dominate.
Oh god, I'd love to see Newey leave RBR while Vettel's still there.

I wouldn't put that entirely on Sato, it was just a really shitty racing incident. I think he would've caught it had he not been hit.

Yeah, good points. I guess I need to just watch P2 and down and not worry about P1, lol.

suck it! lol I'm gunning for you. 59 points this week. Sadly school has made watching F1 this season very hard for me. I haven't watched a full race in a while. Not that I miss seeing vettel on the podium smiling like a dickhead. Kinda glad I haven't had to witness it all that much this year.

Watching the race now. Last 20 laps are awesome, that Raikkenon overtake on Grosjean just before the safety car was a man's overtake. Sauber holding onto fourth is exciting, what a drive from Hulkenberg. Fairly entertaining stuff from the heart of a Korean swamp, the race had no business being as good as it was based on the track and yet another Vettel win.
He didn't cause it on purpose. He got off line due to the bumpy surface, into the marbles and lost basically all grip in his tires. Thing is they weren't even racing on a city circuit, this was in a parking lot.
Really?

I'd be surprised if it isn't now. If there's smoke there's usually fire, it's the same when Honda were first rumoured to be coming back, Whitmarsh sort gave a non-answer, talking about Hyundai for some reason when they were never rumoured.
Same thing as Alonso to McLaren and Vettel to Ferrari.

Alonso to Ferrari was rumoured for years before it happened.

I don't remember a single Japanese F1 driver who wasn't famous for crashing in the last 20 years. They were the typical pay drivers in the 90s who shouldn't be part of the F1 and Sato and Nakajima were only a little bit better.

Agreed. Let's not forget the Malaysian phenom, Alex yoong either.
