edit: TOTALLY WRONG THREAD, LOLby Slash - F1
i struggle a bit to undestand why some drivers weren't able, i know the nature of the track plays a big role but honestly the best overtakers are Hamilton and Alonso, the rest are ok but they don't seem to risk beyond. Alonso pulled a move on Perez, well executed ouside the DRS Zone, same as Maldonado on DiResta and that was a it. BTW anyone else thinks the Penalty on Maldonado was baby Slash - F1
it's very demanding GP, the track is challenging for the drivers, and as cars get mechanically faster it gets harder. i hope it rains, i'tll give some a chance, if not it'll be bewteen the Macca drivers, hopefully Jenson, after all the bad weekends he hadby Slash - F1
no worries m8, i forgot my predictions as well. just in case i forgot for this one 1. Button 2. Alonso 3. Vettel 4. Schumacher 5. Raikkonen 6. Hamilton 7. Rosberg 8. Webber 9. Maldonado 10. DiResta Pole: Alonso Fastest Lap: Buttonby Slash - F1
Wiliams knows what they have in their hands, i'm actually susprised they haven't replaced either of the drivers yet (Bruno being first option). they are loosing many points, they should put someone fast alongside Maldonado to see if he calms down a bit and starts driving smart to be able to "compete" against his teammate, because the way he's doing it, he seems to thinby Slash - F1
wow that was a bad accident, RIP, poor guy, horrible way to go. i wouldn't read too much about Kubica's relation to this driver, sometimes media likes to twist and add stuff. hopefully he makes a comeback someday, though time's passing by, and honestly i can't see him next season yet, it seems he's still a way to go. but if he can he should try other series firstby Slash - F1
never seen that lap, that was a good one... seriously, it seems there was no other limit, is that his Q3 Qualy lap?, the one faster from Fernando?, as i was watching it i was thinking, "how does Alonso drives faster", but then i noticed Felipe outqualified him for this GP, so maybe he didn't.by Slash - F1

Actually Maldonado had a problem with his car, Senna would never match his pace in normal circumstancesby Slash - F1
Yeah, they always find the grey in the rules. Sending Vettel to the back in his home race proved to be a handful for FIA At least teams now know where to gain a few tenths. It's not ilegal afterall EDIT: hmmm, interesting. They didn't show thw replay of Vettel crossing over Schumacher, did Michael had the front wing next to his rear tyre?

Yup, just found out... But if they throw them from qualy, wouldn't they throw they off the race too? After inspection? Can they Modify the car after qualify? To cope with the rules? Or will they have to keep the car the same and face exclusion from race afterwards?by Slash - F1
imho, the RedBull is still the fastest car. from the outside it seems as if Vettel can make as many mistakes as possible, and still end up posting a competitive time same as Webber, not so much with the Ferrari, Alonso is driving superb, his laps are on the ragged edge all the time, and he manages to keep the car on the road whilst it seems he's gonna loose it any moment. Yes, the Ferby Slash - F1

awesome session who else on pole but Alonso.. the guy is fantastic, and still i don't believe he's sitting in the fastest car, nice to see Schumi right there, it seems he's getting more and more confident. and Jenson couldn't even beat Senna? my God, what is wrong with Jenson?, honestly, Massa's first 2 or 3 races of the season were bad and the media was crucifyingby Slash - F1

best race of the season imho. Alonso did the race of his life, what a driver, so far superior than his rivals Schumacher last stint was awesome, the way Webber was following was great to watch. Where's Jenson? he did nothing today. nothing. there's 10 titles in that podiumby Slash - F1

would've been interesting, but i've always believed the best drivers were the ones who helped raise the bar. what i mean is, in 10 years from now a few f1 drivers would have had influenced their styles by great drivers (Alonso, Hamilton, Vettel. etc) but these same great drivers we have currently have been influenced by drivers from the past (Senna, Prost, Schumacher) the whole spby Slash - F1

great race, i love how Mclaren reacted to Ferrari's pressure and made the pistop, at the end it got them the win, but they HAD to stop, but it was very close, they could've lost it and people would be saying it was a Mclaren error, instead they won and Leiws gets the praise, but he deserves it thou.
