Yeah, Perez still gives me the creeps.. for some reason..

As a Kimi fan I'm not really obsessed about beating Alonso either; he is some sort of yardstick, nothing else. I'm more interested in seeing how fast Kimi can tweak the car to his liking, and then we can see him do his magic. So far he seems to be faster at getting around things though as compared t...

Kimi's fastest lap was one full second slower than Nando's. Real uphill battle he faces. Fernando was in clear air towards the end of the race, Kimi wasn't, so that isn't necessarily indicative of anything. Kimi did his fastest lap on lap 56 too, with hulk at least 5 seconds ahead of him. that's cl...

Concussion

Wasn't too bad, he was right behind Alonso at the safety car and obviously lost time during pits waiting for Alonso and lost a couple positions which he couldn't get back, but then neither could Fernando do any on-track passes. true, but Alonso always looked to be harrying the car in front and appe...

Just checked the pit stop summary. Pretty sure it was a pit stop release issue. He was stagnant for 3 seconds longer than alonso.

wasnt very lucky with the safety car either

Concussion

His reaction after getting the podium tells me that he is the real deal.

He reminds me more of Kimi than Hamilton.

been lurking since 2003. for some reason my registration wasnt approved until much later.

I remember very vividly the schumacher vs montoya discussions.

Many years ago when I joined the Air Force, I played some games of pool with my brother. Considering that he played it a lot and I very little, he thrashed me soundly. Jump forward one year when I returned for a visit, we went out to play. He broke, ran a few balls, and when it was my turn, I ran t...

Spa used to be good but not anymore in recent years.

There's 20 million reasons why plus he knows the team well and enjoyed his first year there very much. Ferrari have given Alonso years to give them another WDC, time for someone who actually did to return and show him how it's done. Someone in the austosports forum said "Alonso wanted a Red Bull fo...

Alonso will have the upper hand.

Concussion

Remember when Kimi said that Ferrari will be the last team he drives for. He is a man of his word.

I can already imagine the dialogue.

Concussion

I think that like Ferrari, Mercedes has the "moral obligation" to back Lewis a bit more, him being the marquee signing and all that.

Will you back the driver who you are paying the higher salary more? I know I would.

Concussion

I have a question Is the one lap - give it all - quali speed an age dependant thing ? with reports out of maranello that Ferrari feel that Alonso is not maximising the quali ability of the Ferrari I wonder whether its an age thing ? kimi was peerless in his quali speed in the 2004-2005 but he just ...

what about vettel vs webber and hammi vs button in the same cars ? just natural ability ? more than setting pole positions ...I was thinking ... performance vs teammates and the possible decline of ability over the years ... people keep saying kimi is not a great qualifier but they are talking 2007...

Concussion

Sepang hands down for me.

Concussion

Not going to comment about the sexism part but it sure as hell isn't funny, to me at least.

Out of curiosity does anyone in the forum find it funny? Just wanna make sure if there's anything wrong with my sense of humour.

Concussion

I think I'm the only one that believe Kimi haven't "lost it" in qualifying, it's just that his car setup to optimise race pace. Its probably been this way since his Ferrari days.

If anything, china this year show to me that Kimi can still nail a good quali lap if his car is setup for it.

Concussion

personally im happy with the result today because even with full hindsight there was NOTHING kimi couldve done to snatch p1 from vettel. Nothing.

Concussion

But don't be too hard on him. He was making a lot more mistakes than normal - virtually every lap - so I'm guessing the car was a bit of a handful, too. He's normally quite smooth with it I will be hard on him :D He's too good to go wasting opportunities like this. Just think back at the 'low-light...

Concussion

I probably have to see the race start again, but I remember Webber being VERY deliberate on his chop at the start. It was so obvious he was doing everything he can to prevent Vettel from being 3xWDC that I thought it strange nobody brought it up after the race. Here you go. It looks to me that he m...

Concussion

The last time Hamilton and Alonso praised each other they both ended up not winning the WDC. I think they should just stop jinxing each other

Concussion

IMO, Vettel is not as bad as people make him out to be. At least, he's honest enough about his intentions (but make no mistake, defying team orders is still a bad move no matter how you look at it). Dont forget Webber almost destroyed Vettel's WDC chance when he swerved into Vettel at the 1st lap o...

Concussion

I think this year will be even closer than the last. If there's ever a season to impose team orders, this will be it. The driver of the team with the best 2nd driver will win the WDC - best meaning taking away the most points from other drivers without beating his own teammate. Vettel's move on Web...

Concussion

So what do you guys think of Kimi's chances at Bahrain? The track should be more heavy on the rear tyres and that's something Lotus have paid extra attention to. Red Bull's current pace is a little bit of a mystery to me, but still I think Kimi's got a fairly good chance for the win. The pecking or...

"second place is a good result after a bad start and the incident with Sergio [Perez]. It was quite difficult out there; obviously the car is not designed like that otherwise we would use it all the time , but I was surprised how good it was still." :lol: quite a sense of humour he has, our Kimster.

Anyone know exactly what setting error Kimi had to cause his poor start? Ciaron Pilbeam seemed to apologise to Kimi about it over the radio after the race. Bizarre! Yeah I'm curious too.

In short Horner should be criticized for allowing the situation to reach this point where Seb had to take matters into his own hands. If he had grown a pair then Mark should have been punished for Silverstone 2011 & disobeying a direct order not to race Seb in Brazil last year. I have always mainta...

Masterful drive by Alonso today. Did all the right things at the right time. Lets see if he can repeat this performance in Bahrain.

Concussion

Why drop or not promote drivers that are performing well for a promising outsider? It depends on how ready Ricciardo is by end of this season. He might be ready, or he might not. Can RBR trust him to be a reliable 2nd driver and consistently bring in the points? If Hulkenberg can prove that he is c...
