Re: 2013 Chinese Grand Prix Race Thread

Interesting seeing Marko talking to Ricciardo. I wonder if it went along the lines of "You want a seat a Red Bull? Well see that one just behind you? Stay out of his way."

Re: WOW @ RBR

I too normally have no time for conspiracy theories, but this is starting to get really suspicious. It's just SO convenient that Webber is now completely out of Vettel's way. In the unlikely event that Webber gets anywhere near Vettel in the race I wouldn't now be surprised to see him develop a KERS...

Re: MotoGP Season starts today

I think I was most excited about the fact that Crutchlow was keeping pace with the Hondas. He said it himself on his BBC motogp column that he admits he doesn't have the natural talent that most of the top riders have and therefore has to work a bit harder I guess.

Cal's obviously got a Yamaha but I did read somewhere recently that he was disappointed that he was getting the same standard of parts that the works team gets. If this is the case, then he's doing very well so far.

Being race pace for Lewis and the gear box issues for Nico they even told Nico what he was doing that stressed the gear box during practice . So both drivers concerns are being adhered to which was something ...

If they paid lose 5% of salary. Or ban them for stewarding next race. It looked clear to me they could have started Q1 eg. 20 mins earlier and probably got Q2 and Q3 in. Also if drivers are going onto inters very quickly after restarts then it means they are waiting for it to get too dry. How often...
