Re: Official 2013 Abu Dhabi Race thread.

Webber`s car didnt break in qualies, he finished 14th while Vettel barely made it to the 3rd qualifying session. Seb was 3rd in Q2. Mark stopped on track with a fuel pressure problem. I remembered the Webber`s race issues but not his fuel problem in qualies at China (which I googled right now)... I...

Re: Official 2013 Abu Dhabi Race thread.

IMO it is only justified if you are taking avoiding action from a car in an unexpected place. So the earlier incident was OK as the driver on the inside locked up preventing the overtaking driver turning into the corner where he could reasonably have expected to go. In Alonso's case Jev was always ...

Re: Official 2013 Abu Dhabi Race thread.

After watching the Sky pad I'm not so sure on the Alonso/Jev situation. Tricky, but probably should have lifted.

Re: Official 2013 Abu Dhabi Race thread.

Common sense. The oldest driver on the grid heading to retirement came second in it. lets be serious here huh? Thats very uncommon in fact since Webber has beaten all his previous team-mates and Fangio won title aged far more older. How about Vettel leading the title race at the beginning of the se...

Re: Official 2013 Abu Dhabi Race thread.

Too much credit?? Seb does not get near enough credit on here or even when he is on the podium. Everytime Seb wins its the car. Everytime someone else wins its the skill of the driver. thats what happens when you always have a dominant car, t hat the majority of the grid could win easily win in . w...

Re: Official 2013 Abu Dhabi Race thread.

You can and should when a car is alongside. Like i said we will see. From one angle it looks a bit naughty from Jev and from others it looks agressive from Alonso. Who'd be a steward In a corner if you are going as fast as you can it is impossible. You can't take a tighter line if you are at the ed...
