2010 Brazilian GP Official Thread *Spoilers*

Yeah, 8if Webber wins the championship, I think he'll quit, and even if he doesn't, I think he might (or get sacked).

I'm sure they would approach Kimi for the drive, but Buemi would probably be the favourite.

It's an utterly bullsh*t argument by the promoter and should not be taken seriouly...
anyways, the Estatuto do Torcedor, in which this law is included only counts for national sports events... so...

Well what better way to leave than with a title, eh? I can't see it happening however, to me the question would be: is Mark Webber willing to race for a team that isn't in the top 3? He won't have a seat at Ferrari nor McLaren. If somehow Kubica ends up at RBR then Renault could be an option however unlikely. It could turn into a forced retirement.

As I said, you cannot alter a result which does not exist. Manipulating the result of a sporting event is also such a ridiculous vague phrase that it cannot possibly be used. Did Glock manipulate the result when Lewis passed him for the championship? Technically he did. In fact, every driver on the track "manipulated" the result. Why weren't they arrested?

Oh yeah, it's BS.

all i can say is, if red bull are quite prepared to throw away a championship just because its their least favourite driver in the hunt, then what the heck are they doing in F1? like BMW in 2008, as soon as they had met there objective for the year of a race win (Kubica - Canada) they then "switched off" for the rest of the year when they could have seriously been in with a title shot if they kept on pushing and developing. as much as ferrari take the mickey with team orders, at least they maximise their chances of winning the championship.

So let me get this right.

Ferrari - bias towards Schumacher - bad
Ferrari - bias towards Alonso - bad
McLaren - bias towards Hakkinen - Ok
McLaren - bias towards Hamilton - Ok
McLaren - not putting support behind either Hamilton and Jenson - Ok
Red Bull - not putting support behind either Webber of Vettel - bad

Wait, wat?

Can anyone get either of these as high resolution?

Abhorrently off-topic (hang me now, Mortal) but I just read that HRT have found a new backer from the old CEO of Telefonica. I dunno if that means it's Telefonica or not but also there is talk that they're dealing with Toyota to use their 2010 chassis and tech support for 2011.

If true, that's Virgin screwed.

I don't think Webber's a chance at Renault while Flavio's his manager.

Of course if the team changes again and becomes Team Lotus, as is rumoured, the stigma of Briatore might no longer exist within the team.

Extremely close in Q2, 4 tenths from 3rd to 11th.

Good work by Schumacher, Klien, Glock and Trulli (has now beaten Kovalainen in the qualifying battle for the year) in particular so far.

Wow, Hulkenberg!

All hail the Incredible Hulk, that is all.

What the hell???


That was mint. I bet Chet made a right mess when he saw that.

Not really a good day for the Brazilians, unusually for an Interlagos qualifying

Massa never looked good, Senna outqualified by Klien by 7 tenths and same for di Grassi.

As for Barrichello, Hulkenberg's younger, cheaper and - more and more often - faster... If they seem so keen to put Maldonado in the team, then Rubens better watch out.

That was great, williams is a decent car in the dry, so unless Nico Hulk does a rookie mistake, a little but exciting train can be made behind him full of title contenders!!!

Unbelievable! Amazing! Stunning! Pole for...The Incredible Hulkenberg!

It's so nice to see Williams back in the top, at least in qualifying. I think it's been 5 or 6 years since they last won a Pole Position. However, I don't think he'll win the race. But... a podium doesn't seems to be far-fetched.

Congratulations to him and to all of his fans, including Twigster151!
