The F1 Thread 2012 Season

Think Alonso might get this, hes very strong through the parabolica. But its nice to see Hamilton vs Alonso with nothing between them again.
 
Mclaren not strong enough in the last sector, nailing the first and second but too weak in the third.
 
I can see Mclaren siding with Button more if Lewis continues to fanny around with contract talks, they may say both of them are equal but its clear they are getting frustrated with Hamilton.

I can see your point, but can you imagine if they did that Lewis would be furious, mind you if they asked Button to do it I suspect he would be the same.
I dont think McLaren will entertain doing the slipstreaming.
 
Anyone know what's happened to RBR's pace lately?
 
Yep, they wont be doing slipstreaming for sure.
 
Shit, this greasy cnut is going to get pole.
 
Maldonando with a bizarre lack of awareness, why didn't he get back on circuit after Ascari instead of just deciding to go lawnmowing? :lol:
 
I hope Lewis or Jenson can find something in the 3rd sector to get pole

Just saw this from the pit feed on the Mclaren site

Pit to Jenson said:
“Jenson, in Q3 there's just time to do two flying laps on your first run. I think one and one is better, what do you think? Six of the cars in Q3 will have two sets of new options, so everyone will have similar run programmes.”

No idea what it means though, I really hope they can find something to beat Alonso to it.

It means he has time to do an outlap - 2 timed laps and in lap and still have time for a second run but his engineer thinks just 1 timed lap on the first run is better.

Ah I see, thanks for that.
 
So were they attempting to slipstream there? If so it went horribly wrong.
 
I know I laugh at Massa a lot but sometimes I do feel sorry for him, they expect him to bend over backwards for that team and do whatever Alonso wants it must be pretty demoralising.
 
fecking hell. Are Ferrari really trying to give each other a tow. :lol:

Yep, Alonso was meant to do it for Massa last time out, but it looks like he got bored...Gave Massa a tow down to Ascari and now apparently they are both going out with Massa due to return the favour to Alonso.
 
Ferrari's leaving the garage together here, going to try the slipstream again. Hope they feck it up again.:lol:
 
Button looking to get a tow of a nearby car for his hot lap, this could get pretty interesting at the end here.
 
They're going to feck things up. These sort of synchronized swimming moves never work out.

Alonso needs to just go out there and try to be as fast as he can.
 
Told you. Ferrari are idiots.

Alonso needed to just go out and be as quick as he could be.
 
Ferrari are hilariously bad at "tactics" these days. They need to offer Ross Brawn the Presidency of Italy in an effort to bring him back.
