Sato, of course.
He has no issues with assymetrical tires, pressure or camber...none of those things slow him down.

I think Vettel is going to go on a strong run to the end of the season.

Newey will have 3 days of testing with the RBR this week at Silverstone which he said "3 days of testing makes the car faster by a full 1 second". Good luck catching Vettel in the Red Bull the rest if the year.

Yes! That's what I'm talking about!

I think Vettel will win baring any mechanical issues. He is now the odds on favorite for WDC this year. Look out Schumacher the kid commeth.

Nobody can say there has not been competition. Kimi's lotus has been capable, though not stellar. Merc is the fastest and Ferrari has a very good car. But, the season is only half over so anything can happen. Four races from now things may be firming up.

Pete,
Lets not forget that Ferrari will also be at the upcoming test and they have already done 1000km more than RBR due to their private test at Bahrain.

Any advantage gained by RBR should be offset by the advantage gained by Ferrari.

I am hating this 3 week break between the German and Hungarian Grand Prix and it only gets worse with a 4 week break before Spa.

Vettel does look good, but it is far too early to be giving him the title.

I don't normally make pre-race predictions since I am doing nothing more than guessing. But since this thread needs a bump, here goes.

So far in P1 and P2 both Red Bulls are looking good.

Vettel
Webber
Alonso

Alonso is holding back
It's obvious that there is an extra half a second in that Ferrari with him behind the wheel.
Alonso wins the race and laps his way up thru 10th.

Hey Flying,

Unfortunately the new tires make the cars more understeering which means Kimi will he struggling, he's not understeer type at all...

BBC:
"An amazing amount of times Webber is beset with Electrical problems that somehow Vettel isn't"

Mercs are still up front, missing the test didn't slow them down. Mark seemed pissed, RB should have toggled off his KERS in Q3 and not Q2 for max points. Oh well, he'll be top dog at VW soon enough.

Lotus looks well set up for Sunday, RoGro is back to inflict pain. Counting on a nose to tail train until the first pit stop, should be a great race!
