Ricciardo seems very quick but a bit erratic.

Vergne just hasnt impressed in anyway.

infi24r

Ted talked about cracking Seb's balance issue by covering a hole on the sidepod and getting the exhaust positioning just right. Was this done for both cars, or just Vettel's? I had a feeling once Vettel got happy with the car, he'd return to dominating Webber. It's only one race so we'll have to se...

Hard to say. Ferrari could be coming back very shortly with their spec B car and Mercedes underperformed today.

It will be tough for Lotus thats for sure. A win today would have helped.

infi24r

Why Vettel is a spoilt kid? He started his career in Toro Rosso with not winning car, proved that his fast and last years he have been in winning car and dominated his team mate. If someone is spoilt kid then it's Hamilton. Every season in car that wins so he had never faced a bad period in his car...

Webber spent much of that race in isolation. Not pushing as to save the tyres with no one really close infront or behind enough to dictate pace.

Strange and no doubt very boring and unrewarding race for him.

infi24r

The gap was seconds its just Vettel got between them. Decent recovery from Ricciardo considering he was stuck back in the pack with no new tyres to show from it. Some options that wern't badly worn should have got him ontop of Vergne, but still he had the possibility for a phenomenal drive today and...

Ricciardo was the first of the lapped cars thats why. I was watching the race the gap towards the end between them was 5ish seconds then Dan got lapped.

infi24r

Was Webber just in tyre maintaining mode all race? He never really looked like he was pushing at all. Either that or he was strangely slow.

infi24r

What happened at Dan's start? He was somehow BEHIND vergne after a few corners only Dan then had no tyres left for the race. But how did he finish more than a lap behind Vergne?! He was slower throughout the race - it's not like he didn't have tyres, he just didn't have a lot of fresh sets like his...

infi24r

Schumachers in a good position still.

He has achres of fresh tyres which can easily equate to 10 seconds of on track pace per set and he has the super DRS which will allow him to cruise past cars with ease.

I see him getting well into the points.

Webber outqualifies Vettel by a few tenths for a few weekends "Sebs just finding his form!"

Seb out qualifies Webber by two tenths one weekend "See take that Webber is slow!"

infi24r

And to think, he has achieved so much already this season despite being burdened with bracers. Seriously though, Danny Boy is my guy. That said, he has some steep competition before he becomes my favourite Australian F1 driver of all time... :-P That said, Jack Brabham never had metalcore lyrics on...

that'S not the point genius, the point is experience! So are you the village Vergne sackrider? His lack of qualifying results have been embarrassing. Ricciardo matched Red Bull, McLaren and Mercedes, Vergne got beat by a Caterham. No, I say give Vergne another 2 races he will match his team mate an...

If vergne truly is better we've yet to see any evidence of it.

This weekend RBR appear to have the edge. As the grid goes RBR, McLaren, RBR, McLaren. When McLaren have the edge it typically goes McLaren, RBR, McLaren, RBR or McLaren, McLaren, RBR, RBR. Macca said they focused more on a race setup at the expense of qualifying. Hamilton has been pretty good off t...

I honestly think Dan could go to RBR and regularly outperform Vettel. The question is would RBR want that? you are taking it way too far there :lol: first let him beat Vergne over a full season... 4-0 in qualifying Not just 4-0, but I swear the average gap so far would be atleast a second 8O Dan ha...

Its like Seb has a special engine mapping for his last lap runs.

infi24r

He nearly beat Rosberg in the Mercedes. He made it into the 1:32's that is simply astonishing. Gap to Vergne is 2.1 seconds. Is that the Qualifying performance of the year? i would say so far, but remember 2 drivers did not run at all but still even if they both beat him so impressive still They wo...

0.490 off pole in a Torro Rosso.

What a performance.

The V10's are the best sounding engine imo.

Alonso behind Button, In qualifying pace?

infi24r

Backing Webber poorly / not at all.

Its well known Webber winning was an inconvenience to Red Bull

The one reason I don't believe they would sabotage his car is that Newey wouldn't do that. He and Mark are close and their is alot of trust there.

infi24r

Vettels titles have come in the circumstances of him having the fastest car but. The Rb6 was arguably the most dominant and the RB7 was close.

Hes WDC in a very Villeneuve way. Being in the fastest car for the year.

A true WDC like Alonso can win in anything.

infi24r

I disagree. I find Hamilton very likeable and modest. Atleast he doesn't go calling other drivers idiots and cucumbers. I'm finding Button a bit on the nose lately. His bitterness over 2nd in China was unimpressive, come on Jenson if Lewis didn't have that penalty he would have wiped the floor with...

infi24r

I personally think Webber will just stay at RBR and retire when hes done.

infi24r

People seem to be forgetting that A) Alonso doesn't want a team mate that is too competitive. Just a bit quick but not too quick! He's probably got a No1 contract. B) Ferrari are not all that and show no signs of becoming the top team in F1. So why would Vettel want to join Ferrari in the near futu...

I wish y'all would stop with the "one Vettel prefers" thing re: the exhaust setups. Horner and Newey have both said NEWEY wanted to try the old exhaust and Seb obliged. Both also said they are trying to capture some of the positive aspects of each setup, and needed the China weekend's data to do so...

infi24r

What Marko's really saying is "With a not so great car, Webber will very slightly edge Vettel. With a great car, Vettel will smash Webber". So far, the gap between Vettel and Webber isn't huge and Vettel's still trying to find his feet with a car that Webber seems happier with. he's a double world ...

Drivers like Massa can drive a perfect car fast. Drivers like Alonso can drive a pig fast.

infi24r

Not "Webbers a great driver, we've always known this hence our long term relationship"

just some semi snide remark. I'm fairly sure being able to drive anything fast is what makes a good driver, not just being able to drive a highly planted car fast.

infi24r

Agree about Lewis and Button. Lewis would have no doubt won China except for the penalty which was out of his control. He showed maturity in a recovery drive and only lost a couple of points to Jenson. His natural talent will shine. Im fairly sure Hamilton and Webber are the only top team drivers to...

infi24r

Seb only has himself to blame. Marks Q2 time was top of the charts and ultimately would have been good enough for a front row start.

infi24r

It might be nationality bias i'm not sure. But ive never found Hamilton fake like I do Vettel.
