Formula 1 - 2013 Season

[jimbo75]

Looks like Alonso and Kimi in same lap.

 

[jimbo75]

Massa going to lose out here.

Terrible strategy by Merc and Ferrari, both Mercs should have been in at least a lap earlier and Ferrari should have queued up Alonso and Massa, Massa must have lost 3 seconds on that inlap.

 

[Kaotik]

Massa going to lose out here.

Yep, Kimi went past him during the pitstop

edit:
Also, Lotus really needs to get those pitstops in order, Kimi lost what, almost a second to Alonso just because Ferrari pit-team is that much faster

 

[jimbo75]

Vettel can't get near Hulk, that's not particularly great pace tbh. He reckons he's being held up of course

 

[jimbo75]

Rofl cars falling out of the way of Vettel already.

 

[jimbo75]

Ooh Kimi. Is it just me or is Perez a mobile chicane?

 

[Kaotik]

WTF happened there with Kimi & Perez? Missed it

edit:
Oh, Perez pushed him out and is being investigated

 

[jimbo75]

Button leading - if he's 2 stopping he could be in a good position here.

LOL Webbers wheel tries to take out Vettel.

 

[jimbo75]

Poor Webber, why is it always him in that team...

Alonso really needs to get past Button if he's going to win this race. Kimi still in a strong position despite the nose.

 

[Kaotik]

Kimi fastest man on the track despite damage to nose & wing

 

[jimbo75]

Merc just seems to lack race pace. Rosberg is nowhere and Hamilton seems to have gone backwards most of the race.

 

[jimbo75]

Button has to be in good shape here.

Button 2nd in the race proper, good stuff by him. He still needs a short stint on the softs though.

 

[jimbo75]

Race is Alonso's to lose now tbh.

Vettel looking fast on this set of tyres...

Hamilton vs Kimi looks like the only race left in this now.

Really shit performance by Massa today btw, this is why Alonso is #1.

 

[Kaotik]

Vettel might still actually pass Hamilton, he's so much faster on softs

Hamilton has some issue, dropped out from Kimis pace and Vettel is right behind his wing


edit: Close one!

 

[jimbo75]

Alonso utterly dominant, close at the end though jeez I thought Vettel was going to catch Hamilton there.

 

[Kaotik]

Alonso utterly dominant, close at the end though jeez I thought Vettel was going to catch Hamilton there.

I wouldn't go as far as saying utterly dominant with mere 10 secs difference at the finish line, but definitely solid pace nevertheless. Had he not gotten past Hamilton so fast, who knows how things might have panned out, the difference wasn't that big.

 

[jimbo75]

10 seconds but he was last in for tyres and never under any threat. It's definitely a good track for Ferrari though.

 

[Billy Idol]

Good race! I am a bit sad that the big teams constant ranting and whining leads to a change of the tyres...races were good so far, imo no reason to change tyres and make them more predictable.

 

[DJ12]

I will be funny whenever the super softs get an airing, they might not even make it round a full lap.

 

[Kaotik]

Gutierres gets 5 place and Webber 3 place grid penalties for next race from their crashes
