The F1 Thread 2011 Season

[RDCR07]

Button made the same move Alonso did on Schumi.

 

[Rado_N]

There's so much rubber flying off these tyres it's mad!

 

[RDCR07]

I think Mercedes GP have made some good tactical decisions this race. Both their cars could possibly finish in the top six.

 

[Rado_N]

Vettel pits after losing bundles of time

 

[RDCR07]

Schumi showing his class there overtaking Petrov. This is a good race for Schumi and hopefully it will give him confidence.

 

[RDCR07]

Stupid Massa crossed the pit lane line. Will he be penalised?

 

[MUFAN79]

Stupid Massa crossed the pit lane line. Will he be penalised?

Probably.

 

[Rado_N]

Hamilton takes Button, very close!

 

[RDCR07]

Maybe a drive through penalty?

 

[Rado_N]

Button out of the pits in 5th

 

[Rado_N]

Hamilton pits, now 4th

 

[RDCR07]

Schumi's car is not as fast. That is the problem. If he still had a Ferrari maybe, Webber had no chance there.

 

[Rado_N]

Rosberg pits now, comes out 3rd in front of Hamilton

 

[RDCR07]

I love the nose of the Mercedes GP cars. They just look brilliant.

 

[RDCR07]

Brilliant strategy from Mercedes and great defending from Rosberg so far.

 

[Rado_N]

Webber pits again

 

[Rado_N]

Hamilton driving ragged as hell trying to pass Rosberg!

 

[RDCR07]

This is the best race I have seen in some time now. Good drama.

 

[Rado_N]

Ahhh Rosberg underfueled, that's going to cost him now

 

[RDCR07]

Yeah I am worried about that now too. That sucks for him. Hopefully it will last him.

 

[RDCR07]

The commentators are freaking hilarious here in the US on the Speed channel.

 

[RDCR07]

Hamilton into second now.

 

[Rado_N]

Hamilton walking up now, going to be a very very close end to this race

 

[Zarlak]

Hamilton to 2nd, Vettels tires 6 laps younger. Webber up to 6th.

 

[RDCR07]

Wow Webber from 18th is up to 6th now. A great drive from him.

 

[RDCR07]

Massa is in real trouble. He is in danger of losing two more places.

 

[Zarlak]

Hamilon gaining 9/10ths on Vettel, great race.

 

[RDCR07]

Hopefully Hamilton can catch Vettel and overtake him too.

 

[mariachi-19]

Great race. Michael hunting down alonso as well!

 

[Rado_N]

Vettel hasnt got a hope of holding the lead here, his tyres are shagged

 

[RDCR07]

Vettel has radio problems. He can't communicate with his team in the pits.

 

[Zarlak]

Webber has had a fantastic race.

 

[MUFAN79]

Come on Hamilton!!!

 

[Rado_N]

Hamilton is miles faster, he's going to pass this lap

 

[RDCR07]

Brilliant wheel to wheel racing from Hamilton and Vettel.

 

[Rado_N]

Vettel running without KERS?

 

[RDCR07]

Hamilton goes first!

 

[Justin]

Hamilton leads

 

[Zarlak]

Great move, Hamilton 1st, Webber up to 5th!

 

[Rado_N]

Vettel defenceless, no KERS and fecked tyres
