The F1 Thread 2012 Season

Kimi backing up the pack big time now, they want him to stay out too for the rain. Rosberg pits.
 
Kimi's tyres are fecked, he has to change the tyres soon he won't last much longer on this set
 
Now they have just pitted I would love to the the rain now to shake things up a bit
 
Alonso was flying on his in-lap though, he was always going to jump him.

If Vettel wins this race after not running in Q3, F1 is broken.
true that but almost every one was in 3's forexample massa around 3.3second while lewis was 4.3
 
Only rain can save this race now, they need to sort Q3 rules though because Pole no longer means anything.

That's as much the tyres fault, as is the first half of this race being so crap because everyone is more concerned with managing tyres than racing.

Well that's it, its a rule issue. They can't push in the opening stint because the tyres have been punished during quali, the cars that then strap on brand new tyres through not running in Q3 just pick up places easy. How is that fair for the drivers trying to put on a show? We are going to get to the point where nobody runs in Q3 one day.

Yep, they should just give them X number of quali tyres and Y number of race tyres, with the number of race tyres you get not being affected by the number you use in quali.
