Re: What happened to Giancarlo Fisichella?

If he could have achieved that performance level on other tracks too, we would have had some Fisichella vs. Vettel threads now in the forum. :thumbup: Getting on the podi...

Re: True potential of 2012 Williams?

I agree that with a top driver this car should have been at the front in 2012 and winning more than just 1 race and certainly a multiple podium contender. Williams should have finished at least 6th in the constructors even challenging merc for 5th if Maldonado hadn't thrown away so many points and i...

Re: What's going on with Romain Grosjean??

It is really weird in the first stint he was right behind Kimi only 1 second behind him and lapping faster than him in the early stage so he seemed to have a massive balance issue with the mediums.

Re: The Official Kimi Räikkonen thread

Looks like Lotus has a new chief race engineer ex race engineer of Mark Webber Ciaron Pilbeam while Simon Rennie leaves Lotus to become Mark Webber race engineer at Red Bull.

I think this is a real positive for the team as he can bring a lot to the team.

Permane just said Romain and Kimi were told to lift in that sector and according to him they did lift sufficiently so I dont think they will get any penalty maybe a reprimand at most.
