Re: MERCEDES...Podium or Not?

No, I think they will manage the podium and probably the win...they got the advantage of that straight line speed which is vital... You have to take note they have tyre wear problems, Kimi will probably steal Schumi's position and Rosberg will...uhm, prolly crash/DNF? 8) Why do you say that? I beli...

Re: Did Raikkonen just become favorite to win the race ?

No rain for tomorrow. Merc may have struggled in previous races, but with such long straights they will be difficult to pass. Not to mention difficult to pass and stay ahead as they can attack in DRS zone. Those 2 cars are straight line rockets. Schumacher is there between Nico and everyone else. N...

The warmer the weather tomorrow the greater the tyre wear and the greater his chances. On the other hand cool weather would fit perfectly for the Mercedes duo.

Basically what you're trying to convince us is that Lewis's equal amount of gasoline cost him a second a lap. I hear thee but I don't believe thee. Maybe Button was constipated and the extra weight in his belly lowered the CoG giving him better aero and a second a lap. You're reaching for straws my...
