Vettel
Hamilton
Button


Vettel's training wheeeeeels were on tight today , he squeaked out a victory with a car that's 1 second a lap faster than his nearest rival.... Yep another great (Faux ) one, reminds me of schumacher...


Drive of the race : Hamilton, raw speed on display WDC vs faux WDC........................

 

Awesome race by McLaren to get two on the podium. Ferrari, fell down after a fantastic start. Vettel kept his head for another win.

Alonsette...from 3rd to 1st to getting lapped by the top 3.

 

^^^ She did well today , Ferrari ......... Not so ...............

 

WTF happened to Fernando???

 

^^ 2 much Fiat not enuff Horse ..........................

 

Interesting race. Webber flubs his start and is too preoccupied with Vettel and totally ignores the inside corner and allows Alonso to surge into the lead. Definitely not the best race for the Aussie.

If the governing body wanted to mix things up with these new tires, mission accomplished. You never know who will be in a position to win until late in the race. Alonso looked good for the first stint of the race, but not only did he run out of tires (remember both Ferrari cars used options in P1 while Red Bull and McLaren only used primes in P1), but something is also up with Ferrari. Of course something is up with Mercedes and Renault. They clearly don't have the car at this stage of the season. It's pretty evident that the Red Bull and McLaren cars are so much better than everyone else. Red Bull is the best qualifier car, but the gap between the two in races is not as large. Hamilton did set the fastest lap in the race. The McLaren is a good car, almost as good as the Red Bull. At least McLaren's KERS is reliable.

The Vettel haters will continue to slag the young German. But if Vettel was such a poor unskilled untalented driver as some haters continue to claim he is, why is it that he is able to get such a good run out of turn #16 and onto the main straight nullifying Hamilton's KERS and DRS advantage? Too funny.

4 wins out of 5 races (with a 2nd place). Not perfect, but not bad.

 

He ran outta talent....

 

So much for the "with his salary and with the vig paid , the real show starts now..." BS.
I must admit, his start was spectacular. The rest was typical of Ferrari this year.

 

yeah yeah yeah...............we have you on record now buddy.


seriously though, the hard tires just did not work at all ?

 

Still clueless C2,

Faux1 is driving a car that's 1 second a lap faster than his nearest rival , he finished tenths ahead of Hamilton ..


GET IT ........................................................................

So which is it .............. Cognitive Dissonance or Myopia ......


Ferrari paid the vig , they will be allowed to compete and win , not like last year when they had to play the game and let Vettel win , so stay tuned , the game is easy if you pay attn the season is more than 5 races ...

 

Congrats to vettel! It was nice to see him and hammy going for it the last bit of the race. What's up with the entire field getting lapped and whats up with massa??

 

Scary to see you guys taking pointers from someone who is so clueless..
God bless you!

 

Wayne, it is you who is clueless here, or blinded by your dislike of Vettel. Funny how intolerant you are when that dislike applies to Alonso.

Anyway my friend, let's get a little accuracy here. Yes Red Bull was light years ahead on sticker tires and empty tanks, but that is not what F1 is about anymore. McLaren, and to a lesser extend Ferrari (with Alonso behind the wheel) have competitive pace on full tanks. That was apparent over the first 3 stints. Once the switch was made to the prime tires, Ferrari was done. That left Vettel and a very racy Hamilton to duke it out. It seems like on the harder tires with lighter fuel loads, McLaren is as fast as Red Bull, and that has been proven over the last 3 races.

Vettel obviously ran his tires off early in his last stint again, and the intermittent KERS did not help. Still, he managed to hold off Hamilton and did a masterful job of being fast where he had to, through the final complex and onto the straight. Did you see how many car lengths Hamilton pulled in on Vettel down that straight? Had to be at least 6~8. So roll your eyes, drink your beer and eat your corn, but it won't change the fact that Vettel drove a great race today.

 

Larry you are the one cluless , the cars are equal based on what ? Vettel's lack of speed ...?

Hamilton and or Alonso in an RB would be in a different time zone , they would not be finishing tenths behind Vettel in a Mclaren .... Get it ? Vettel has no pace to compare to those 2...this was obvious again today ..


It's F1 , not PCA Club racing driving .. so please hold on the clueless bit, Vettel had a car capable of putting 30 seconds between himself and Hamilton over a race distance , we had a race today because the RB driver's were outdriven from lap one...


Get it ......
