Webber was amazing today. I didn't think that this highly technical type of track was his cup of tea, but he didn't put a wheel wrong, and his 2 qualifiers were about perfect. The rumors of his demise were highly exaggerated. Red Bull would do well to retain him for a few more seasons.


And the Mercedes situation gets more interesting as now in the short wheelbase car MS is right up there with Rosberg. I think that MS has heard what A.Wayne thinks about him and is using it as personal motivation.

+1 on both.

Webber was flying and what makes Rosberg-Schumi situation even more interesting is the fact that he drove badly in his Q3 run. Partly because of traffic (isn't it ironic that the real traffic problems were only in Q3...) and partly because he couldn't put a good lap together.
He said himself he screwed up and had he not, he would've been very close to a pole.

They really need to wake up, smell the roses and start catering to Nico's need if they ever want to win anything.

Drive of the qualifying? Not Webber as some might think but...
(should make the race more interesting)

how about putting a proper gear box back in the cars, no paddles, a wooden ****, a third pedal, would open the door for drivers to make more mistakes. seems so easy to nail the gear changes, take that out and things may get more interesting.

It figures that "sunshine" chokes the race I pick 'em. That will teach me to ever agree with Wayne.

Sucks for FA. He was on point..

Ray S

No worries. I'm sure he'll zip right to the front at Monaco (the annual F1 autocross)...

A.Wayne

The Myopic ones are still reveling in Schumachers pace , they are still not aware that it's Rosberg's pace, that has been compromised

Driver award .... Shared

Barichello: Got that recalcitrant Williams in the top 10 around Monaco

Webbo: What to say , putting it to , training wheels Vettel again

Auto-x ... making fun of Petal .........




Alonso is making this close .. I guess he wants to race schumacher there is no where to pass , he has thrown this weekend away ...

Personally i hope Mark can continue like this all the way , 2 many times it's the marketable chosen ones being pushed to the front , as we saw what happened to him at Williams when he had shown to be faster than Rosberg .....

A.Wayne

Flying Finn

And he's blaming Nico for his slower pace, saying Nico blocked him...

Watch for Nico's pitstop if Schumi doesn't push him aside on the start... Something tells me Nico's stop somehow is 1-2 seconds slower than Schumi's...

RajDatta

+1. I guess it wasn't typical Ferrari games, but typical Brawn games that will now be played in the pits. I lost a lot of respect for Brawn, for the way he has handled Schumi. It's a shame for Rosberg.

I still don't understand why anybody is shocked about the whole Schumi/Brawn/Nico thing. Is it because this time is soooo damn obvious? Brawn has always catered to Schumi, period.

Keep in mind what Barrichello said earlier this year, that in order for you to beat Michael you have to do it on your own, against the entire team. Which makes every win by him and every other one of Schumi's team mate even more impressive. He had the RIGHT to see and analyze every single team mate's telemetry as told by Herbert and admitted by Flavor Flav.

I think Nico needs to heed Rubinho's advice, leave the team if you want to have a chance.

Yeah but lets face it, Webber's a washed up mobile chicane so he's definitely out of the running....

I don't get it, what are you guys seeing in this Schumy favoritism thing?

On other topics, I'm so bummed for Alonso, having picked him.
Happy for Weber, because at least the guy has a personality.
Otherwise, I'd like to see Kubica rise.

A.Wayne

Maybe Vettel 2 .......... LOL....
