The F1 Thread 2013 Season

Grosjean out! Good time from JB at the end there.
 
Webber is in a good position, fastest driver on the mediums so the 3 cars in front will have to stop before him.
 
Oh its so exciting to be able to watch Vettel win the world championship today I cant wait to see him wave his finger and I cant wait to cheer him over the line!!



Hope the feckers wheels fall off on the grid when they line up

Pirelli has asked Formula 1 teams to limit running on the tyres in Sunday's Indian Grand Prix on safety grounds.

Teams have been asked not to use the 'soft' tyre for more than 15 laps and the 'medium' for no more than 35 laps.
Governing body the FIA is refusing to order the teams to follow the advice.
But if any teams goes beyond the limit and hit problems they could be brought before the stewards and asked why they ran their cars in a dangerous configuration.

It is the latest in a series of controversies to hit Pirelli this season that have tested the patience of teams and senior F1 figures.

The company was forced to change the design of its tyres after a series of dramatic failures during the British Grand Prix.

At this weekend's Indian Grand Prix, the 'soft' tyre has been suffering severe degradation after just handful of laps.

The tyres are suffering blistering - when the surface overheats and bubbles - after just three or four laps, leading to a loss of pace of as much as three or four seconds a lap.

One senior engineer at a top team said this was the worst blistering ever experienced with the Pirelli tyres since the company entered F1.

The FIA does not want to force the teams to comply with Pirelli's limits because race director Charlie Whiting feels it is unfair to force teams whose cars have better tyre life to be reduced to the lowest common denominator.

The teams all have means of measuring tyre life live during the race and feels they should be trusted to do so.
Pirelli is also disagreeing with the teams over its desire to do more testing to prepare tyres for next season, when the cars and engines will be different following a major regulation change.

Pirelli motorsport director Paul Hembery said in India this weekend: "We have to do some testing. If we cannot, then we will not be able to provide the tyres for next year."

But the teams are frustrated with Pirelli because it is refusing to pay the costs for the tests it wants to do. So far, Pirelli has only offered to pay for circuit hire.

Teams point out that F1 cars cost hundreds of pounds a lap to run, so a three-day test in which teams cover hundreds of laps would cost them tens of thousands of pounds or more at a time when costs in F1 are a major concern.

Pirelli has been told if it wants to do extra testing they must pay the entire costs of the teams involved.

lol

Go home Pirelli, your drunk.
 
All that boils down to is Pirelli not being allowed to test their tyres on latest spec cars.

It's no use F1 telling pirelli that they're shit, but then not giving them the tools to get better.
 
I hate Horner. Would quite like to see Webber win this one. I predict

1. Webber
2. Alonso
3. Hamilton




22. Vettel - D.N.F
 
Some sexy women in the Force India garage...I want...
 
Does Eddie Jordan know that the grid walk is meant to take place on the fecking grid and not the grass verge next to the grid?
 
Alonso and Webber getting eaten alive of the line...and away goes Seb...
 
Unless the red bull fails its game over, already way out into the distance.
 
Woah, the soft tyre cant be gone already can it?
 
Haven't watched for about a month and a half, no surprise at all to tune in and see that cnut leading and boring everybody to tears as usual :lol:
