Redketman Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 Vettel dominated the whole weekend. Vitaly Petrov 3rd? Very good result. Sergio Perez 7th in his debut race! I think he only had one pit stop. Kamui Kobayashi 8th, very good result by the Sauber Team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bernard Jazz Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 Both Saubers have been disqualified. Sauce. Brilliant race from Petrov, I can only imagine where Kubica would have been if he was on track today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayC Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 Poor Webber. I hope he doesn't remain the unluckiest man in F1 this year. He deserves a win. Happy to see Hamilton wasn't disqualified over that damage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 Bizarre as to why Ferrari seemed to have slowed so much and McLaren have come outta nowhere. I have a feeling Ferrari will be giving RB a headache along with McLaren, just these new Pirellis sure are acting strange at the mo. Perez 1 stopper? Wtf?

Jay Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 Ergh Webrar wrote an article for the Australian media, constantly referring to Vettel as 'Seb' and underhandedly was bawwing about not having any grip and that was raping his tyres too quickly. Plus side, Petrov seems an okay guy. Hope he shocks some faces this year and isn't just a one-race thing like Coulthard in 2003. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bernard Jazz Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 Webrar tends does seem to have a lot of "BAWWWWW" moments. Whether it's intentional or not, it's what I like about him. Legend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barry Spock Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 As an aussie, GOD it's painful to be trying to support Webber. He's always close, but never quite there. It's like being a Geelong football club supporter. This year I'm emotionally investing in Team Lotus -- really want to see them improve. Kobayashi & Perez -- it'd just be great to see something really surprising, and these two might be able to deliver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redketman Posted April 9, 2011 Share Posted April 9, 2011 I thought it was a quite interesting Qualifying today. It was very tight between Red Bull and Mclaren. The Ferraris are behind and so is Schumacher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brown Sugar Posted April 17, 2011 Share Posted April 17, 2011 That was an absolutely brilliant race from start to finish, I lost track of it about 3 times there was so much sh*t happening. And a red bull mechanic accusing Button of cheating, why complain when you finished second and third, that's a bloody good result for any team.

Kryten. Posted April 17, 2011 Share Posted April 17, 2011 Great drive by Webber. Finally had a bit of luck in terms of strategy, helped by his poor qualifying leaving him plenty of fresh tyres. But even still a great effort to finish on the podium from 18th. The Red Bulls still showing that they are in great shape even if they are having so many problems with the KERS system. If they ever get that right then they may just pull away from the pack a bit. At the moment the Ferrari's and McLarens are competetive all the way through. I think the Pirelli tyres is also helping to make the race more exciting and although some would say its a backwards step in terms of durability its done what it was meant to do, and that is getting rid of boring races like half of last season's were.

Barry Spock Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 Shanghai was a great race to watch. I was just happy to see vettel *not win* and Mark's luck change. I don't think he can win the championship this year, so I'm just hoping for a close competition between the top drivers. Webbo always says some interesting things though. Like later, in the paddock he mentioned that yeah there were plenty of overtakes but all too easy because one driver was always on heaps better tyres and the other couldn't compete at all. The different strategies in the race were interesting, but most of Lewis' and Mark's overtaking moves were fairly pedestrian. I notice all the commentators were glossing over that. But then, I do agree it's better than the tyre set up last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kryten. Posted May 8, 2011 Share Posted May 8, 2011 Webber finally put a decent weekend together. Did well in qualifying and backed it up in the race. His extra prime tyres it seems also helped. However no one is catching Vettel at the moment. Just too much speed and always seems to have a fairly clean weekend (apart from a crash in first practice). I think the DRS zone was fairly long in this race. Seemed a lot of cars could get up and pass well before the braking point. I thought the whole point was to make it easier to pass under brakes. I'm all for seeing more and safer overtaking passes, but it seemed a bit too hard in this race to keep your spot. For much of the early part Rosberg was powerless to do anything about the 2-3 cars easily passing him using DRS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brown Sugar Posted May 8, 2011 Share Posted May 8, 2011 I also thought the drs zone was too long, they should have put it just after turn 11 instead of before it, it just made even the obertaking predictable as you knew when someone was within 1 second they would be way back after turn 12.

Kryten. Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 The Red Bulls have been lightning quick so far this weekend. The only thing that you can see stopping them getting a 1-2 would be problems with pits/tyres strategy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
