Look at the title of the thread, I'm just nitpicking he he.

how about Kobayashi around the outside in Turn 1. THAT'S what I'm talking about

didn't work out too well for him when he got tagged by the Renault though.

Very impressive start from Torro Rosso driver Jaime Alguersuari 6 places I think! The hide of the late braking move into turn 1... great driving

[smythie]

That's the move I was thinking of. Don't know why I was thinking of Kobayashi

Will be very scary next week in Monaco with 24 cars and a few less experienced drivers and about 8 cars that are a lot slower than the rest, so lots of cars will be lapped multiple times
Could turn out that it is an absolute crapshoot

[smythie]

I agree. Will be an interesting one

can't wait

what ever

anyone know how I can submit the real anthem to the FIA??

A very well done skit

[Turtlez]

Vettel did some great blocking off the start...........

Well you've got to as apart from in the pits, that's the only time there is any overtaking in F1.

dude you been watching the F1 of late, other the Monaco, there has been more overtaking then in previous years.

[smythie]

Two wet races in there has had a huge hand in the amount of overtaking seen so far this season. Bahrain, Catalunya and Monaco however (full dry races) have only seen overtaking at the back of the field and usually by quicker guys who got caught out in incidents and found themselves at the rear of the field.

I don't remember a single overtaking manouver on track in the front 8 to 10 after the first couple of corners. BUtton for example at Catalunya even with a straight line advantage couldn't get around MS despite multiple attempts

Not so Advanced driving last night from the Red Bull boys. Webber trying to save a touch of fuel has his team mate get a run on his left on the back straight then veer right into him for what ever reason. Webber not completely blameless either - he could have given Vettel a bit more room than he did - but geez, don't know what Vettel was thinking. Ruined a very feasible 1-2 for the team. Then a few laps later the Mclaren boys who were right behind the Red Bulls when they punted each other off showed how you do side by side racing - for half a dozen corners. Good stuff

There is speculation that Red bull ordered Sebastian to turn up his engine at the same time as they told Mark to turn his down. So there might be more to the story than meets the eye. Driver bias?

From a pure rule perspective Mark did nothing wrong and Sebastian did come across. I think Mark maybe should have lifted or given him more room as they are team mates BUT Sebastian is his closest rival for the world championship so I understand being defensive.

I think at the end of the day it was poor driving from Vettel and the little Sh*t needs to learn some respect.

Apparently he has the same attitude as schumi in that he wants to OWN the team and have everything biased towards him over his team mate. Webber is highly respected in the paddock though. Given the team is Austrian and Vettel is German i'm not sure Mark has done himself any favours for getting resigned next year.

Watch the post race conference and when they interview Button ,Hamilton and Webber think the camera is on Jenson. Hamilton leans over and asks what happens , he then shows webber he thought Vettel moved across and Webber nods and uses his hands to describe what happenned , both of them had a lot of head shaking and rolling eyes and then they realize they are on camera ...Oops

[Posseltperformance]

I noticed that too - I was amused

[smythie]

yes, quite funny

I didn't need to hear Webber's statement after seeing the background whispers and sign language. He'd already said it all
