GNR996

Vettel was on the hard option (no green stripe)along with Webber

A.Wayne

No RB were on the prime tires , Hamilton on the softer option tire ....


Rumor has it , Stoolmacher is having a longer wheelbase car made for a more comfy ride !

hammy was dominant in all 3 qualifying rounds, but of course it comes with controversy at the end

Thanks to Speed and their coverage of some NA$CAR race, I missed Q3 on my DVR.

Based on the qualifying results, I like the position of the RBR cars based on tire selection.
Safety car may end up being the deciding factor if Hamilton is able to quickly switch off of the option and onto the prime.

Another great showing for Force India...quietly becoming a Q3 team.

isnt that what I said? two options, one hard, one soft, soft one has the green stripe.

So far the weather has really cooperated. Today should be sunny & 75.

Matt threw a really nice get together yesterday. It was great to meet some of the Rennlisters that you only know from posting. Thanks again & the brats were absolutely delicious!

Wayne, you should be here. You would love the group sitting in front of us. A real bunch of Schumacher haters. Wore Nico shirts and gave Schumie the one finger salute every time he came around. And you should have heard their celebration when he got bumped out of Q3.

Shame on you Lewis. If you were recording the 24 hours you should have Q3 recorded there.

At what time is FOX showing the race?

Flying Finn

Get your lazy fingers moving and check with that fancy iPhone of yours...

I just did and it starts at noon.

Should be interesting to see how the different tire strategies work!

PPo

It was just a missunderstanding... The hard tire is called the prime, the softer is called the option. So if you select the option, it means you are on the softer tire. Your earlier statement mentioned something like they where on the harder option, which is a contradiction becuase of the ambiguity of the naming of the choices.

Not a big deal, but I am sure somebody will make it a big deal and challenge you to a fight to the death over an issue that really highlights the ambiguity of F1... and that fight needs to have the Star Trek fight sound in the background, and the winner gets to make out with a peculiar, strange, but still somehow sexy female alien. Something like Lady Gaga...

How many more times do we have to endure a FOX F1 race?

They must have told the announcers to call the race for NASCAR fans...

ltc

4x/year.
CBS was worse.

DanR

Great race, terrible coverage (anyone else notice how they dumbed down the commentary and multiple comparrisons to NASCAR). BEst of all was ALonzo celibrations with Hamilton on the podium (or lack of acknowledgement he even existed never mind won )
