The F1 Thread 2013 Season

So on what lap tomorrow will Hamilton's vehicle spontaneously combust?
 
That's a new lap record btw, beating Schumachers 2004 time which was in a V10! Although its still a ways off the actual quali times they set back then, even so thats quick.
 
Poor session from Ferrari, Alonso down in 8th.


It was weird they had very competitive pace up to the last session but clearly they felt they didn't have the pace for pole so they went with a lap on mediums in Q3.
 
2nd sport of the day ends with a good result. Now off to the Wimbledon thread for the third!

Even with their fast Q2 times, they would not have challenged the Mercedes or Red Bulls in Q3. Therefore they're only one row behind where they would have been had they used the softs. Could prove very shrewd come tomorrow afternoon.
 
Lewis Hamilton has now advanced to Q3 in Qualifying 64 times consecutively, thats quite remarkable really.
 
Another strong qualifying result for Ricciardo, would be good to see what he can do in a red bull proper next season
 
You are right, I cant remember the last time a Williams car came even close to winning a race.

How about last year? :lol:

But I know what you mean, they don't look like being a major force in F1 for some time which is a shame.
