Jesus, Webber with a mighty fast lap
The F1 Thread 2011 Season
- Thread starter Rado_N
- Start date
Webber with a flyer 1:30.251
where the hell did Webber get that speed from ?
Expected Red Bull to save something for Q3, no big suprise really but please put Hamilton in somewhere with Vettel for the first corner.
did not expect them to be nearly half a second faster.
It's a supreme quali car, I think they always sandbag a little bit in Q2.
Webber going even quicker 
Hamilton goes faster in first sector
get in there Hamilton what a lap
What a lap that was from Hamilton, fantastic.
Vettel on the second row for the first time
Best Q3 this season
I want to see Hamilton's onboard, that must have been mighty.
Brundle, 'the lap of the day is surely Hamilton'
Erm, how about the guy who went faster than him?

Dude he beat his team mate by over a second.
Button was not very happy there.
Jenson had no grip, that has no bearing on Hamilton's lap.
I agree ,even if Jenson did have grip he would of not got near Lewis.
Heiki beat Chandhok by a second - lap of the day?
I'm not disputing it was a feckin awesome lap, but the best of the day is the guy who finishes fastest.
I'd use that excuse too if I got beat by a second.
It was. Hope it rains tomorrow. Weatherman said it was due to rain tomorrow. As did DC just now
Flawed argument. You really think beating someone who hasn't raced in a while by a second is the same is beating a former world champion and one of the top drivers by a second?
Don't know who bought Jenson into the argument. Actually, that was a fantastic lap regardless of Jenson's lap. What made it special wasn't how far he was ahead of his teammate but the sheer effort in eeking out everything from the car. That's qualy at its finest.
I don't think it was a case of Lewis dragging the car round. He said he hadn't done a proper low fuel run with the new updates for the weekend yet and said the car felt fantastic during Q3 which was the first time this happened.
Yeah from Hamilton's comments it seems like they didn't fully know if they car had improved or not with the low fuel because they didn't actually run it until quali.
The only way to get a proper comparison between drivers is to compare them to their team mates, Jenson definatly had balance issues which widened the gap but Lewis found something like 6 tenths on his last lap and he said after his first run he gave it everything after his 30.7.
Anyway the race is setup perfectly tomorrow rain or shine.

Gutted everything lost from the German GP
Some sense prevails at last.
Toro Rosso’s Sebastien Buemi has been punished by the German race stewards for his collision with Renault’s Nick Heidfeld during Sunday’s Nurburgring race. Buemi receives a five-place grid penalty for the next round in Hungary.
After a post-race investigation, the stewards decided the Swiss driver was at fault for the accident, which occurred on the approach to the chicane on lap 10. Although Buemi was able to continue to finish 15th, Heidfeld, whose Renault made contact with the Toro Rosso's right-rear tyre, retired from the race.

fecking Sky. fecking ads in the middle of the races and paying for the privilege to see those ads. At least BBC still has half the races
"We will give F1 the full Sky Sports treatment with a commitment to each race never seen before on UK television."
You can start by having no adverts, otherwise you can feck right off.

Well I hope they keep the same team.
Sky making a big deal about F1 IN HD , we have that already that.
Sky saying they will show every second of everything FP and qualifying and there will be NO adverts.

According to that article; 'Sky Sports will show every race, qualifying session and practice live'
From Sky Sports website.
I get the impression from reading the above that Sky want us to know their coverage will be live.
Sounds like build up coverage won't be dedicated if it's just going to be on SSN, which is a bit shit.
don't see why the current set up will not work on BBC and Sky.
Cricket going on Sky ruined it. Nothing wrong with the coverage, its excellent, but it reduces the access & therefore the interest.
Same will happen with F1, dark day indeed...

Sky pundits and commentators say "here on Sky Sports" about 8457339 times in every broadcast, I can't imagine BBC wanting that on their air, and I doubt they'll have them saying both networks. I'm pretty sure they'll have their own commentary team. As for pundits, after reading that article I just posted I get the impression they won't be having any, it'll just be SSN before and after the race. I hope I'm wrong on that though, because it would be utter toss.
