The F1 Thread 2010 Season

Took out one of the advertising signs too. I really felt for the worst when I saw that launch.
 
The two Mclarens are right back in this, Hamilton has a new front wing.
 
Hope his neck is ok, the HANS devices are brilliant but that was a huge impact from a number of angles, not to mention the landing.
 
Ah... they were racing for position of course

I think Coulthard is a bit out of order saying Kovaleinen shouldn't be able to try and keep Webber behind him there

I'm glad he's ok, but Webber should be good enough to be avoiding that

Agreed, only one person at fault there.

There's an arguement should a car as slow as the Lotus relative to the leaders be on the grid, and we've had the 107% regulation in the past for that

But what they're arguing is that even for race position, slow cars should let fast cars through, and that's clearly bullshit

It's a weird one, i can see the point of Heikki getting out of the way as his car clearly isn't competitive, but he has a right to defend the line.

Whats bizarre though is just before the the accident, Webber follows Heikki to the left hand side of the track to grab his slipstream. Just before impact you can see him move his wheel to the left to get as much of a pull as he could.

It's unfortunate but the safety of these F1 cars is impressive, especially for Webber to walk away from an accident like that.

Definitely.

Vettel nearly pissed away his lead there
 
Vettel might have made a small flatspot on that right front, might come back to haunt him later on.
 
not affecting him now if he has , just set fstest lap and pulling away from Hamilton

He probably hasnt got a flatspot im just speculating but if he has it one manifest itself until later on much like Raikkonen in 2005.

No idea what Alonso's issue is, must be to do with the SC.

That Raikkonen blow out was the first thing I thought of when you mentioned it; Hokenheim wasn't it?
 
Why didn't Alonso and Massa pit at the same time as Vettel and Hamilton? Any reasonable explanation or just a major feck up by Ferrari?

Alonso would've been 2nd now if they did.
 
We've obviously seen nothing of what happened, will have to trust to the data they have to prove this either way. Surely it must have been a pretty blatant and deliberate back up for him to get penalised
