The F1 Thread 2013 Season

Lewis was on the edge with those tyres! So glad he held on!
 
Those final 3 laps or so by Vettel. Bloody hell that was insane pace! The way the Hamiton lead evaporated!
 
I think Lewis is lucky he didn't get passed the Caterham until that point tbh.
 
Also, Lewis with a 5th, two podiums and a pole. By now with Mclaren he would have a win, a pit stop feck up and a mechanical failure so he's doing well.

I found it interesting the pit radio with Hamilton at the end, you would never have heard Whitmarsh going on the radio like that giving a driver some direction & motivation. Not surprised he's moved now.

Whitmarsh probably doesn't know how to use the radio.
 
If Ferrari can maintain their car I reckon Alonso will end up as WDC this year.

Looks likely doesn't it. Even if Ferrari have a dog of a car Alonso will still be able to be as competitive, such is the measure of his ability.
 
Mercedes still need a bit of work to be truly ready for the championship.

The Ferrari last year didn't look close to competing yet Alonso kept them in the game right till the end by grabbing some consistent podiums early on. If Lewis can do that and Mercedes continue there development, I think they've got a shot at the drivers / constructors.

They have done a lot of work with the car and the fact that Massa was dreadful last season did not help.
Alonso is a cracking driver and got them points last season Ferrari should not of got.
 
DC like a teacher telling the naughty chatty kids to tell the whole class what they were saying :lol:
