2011 FORMULA 1 SANTANDER BRITISH GRAND PRIX: RACE *** SPOILERS ***

Fixed it for you buddy . Otherwise the cheerleaders (I like that < ha ha>), with their endless supply of excuses, will tell you he already 'outdrives' Nico, but with his terrible 'bad luck', he always ends up behind him .

 

Late to the party, but that was a simply phenomenal race by FA. FORZA FERRARI, glad to see that they finally have one on the board. Good race by Massa as well. MS got totally screwed but his pace was quite good which was encouraging.

I do have to say...LOL to everyone that thought RB didn't have team orders last year. This race simply made it obvious.

 

you have a VERY strange idea what a MID-FIELD driver is, the maths must be hard for you to fathom

 

Hmm not sure: using mathematical averages over all of Webbers career he is probably nothing more than midfield

His true form has only been seen in the last few years and even now he is a bit of an enigma: sometimes better than anybody else and then disappears for a couple of races

Reminds me a bit of Berger: untouchable on a perfect day

 

That must be why people don't pay attention to thing like lap times and technical problems. Do the math. Had Schu's car not been broken at the early part of the season this conversation would not be taking place. Foul play. You guys are part of the minority, so enjoy.

 

It was interesting to hear Masell's take on the MS incident and why he got penalised. Made perfect sense to me.

You'll need a UK IP....or wait til it's on youtube or something. It was quite a good show.

 

thanks. yeah, can't watch it yet. bah

good write-up, especially on Hamilton's lock-up. that being said, Ham did lose control and collide but he had more of the racing line. Still, it was a screw-up on his part which warranted something if they were going to hit Schu how they did.



Mansell states Schu was carrying too much speed, which is odd because Kob went wide because his front end slipped due to carrying too much speed. Schu's rear end slipped which tells a different picture about rear aero traction when entering a corner rather than front end which depicts a more of a speed issue. I'd be interested in hearing what Mansell has to say about it

 

geez...after reading that article i don't know what to think! *confused*

 

Maths is hard for me.
Thats why I look to you.

 

Andreas,

A lot of what you say is true, but until this year Webber has always been faster than his team mate, even Coulthard, and also Webber has always been a good qualifier.

So I feel that he does deserve to be considered above average as until Red Bull felt the affects of Adrian Newey Webber has always had just average cars. But he is definitely not Vettel and Alonso level.

Come on. LH was obviously carrying too much speed also, otherwise he would not have hit Massa.

You have a responsbility as a driver NOT to hit other cars. Massa was ahead and correctly positioned his car to complete the pass and LH in desperation tried to take too much speed through the tighter line in the corner. Heck if Massa was not there he might not have even made the corner.

Mansells comments are simply defending a British driver and why a British driver should not have been the so called expert at the British GP.
Pete

 

No question. They should have levied the same penalty to Hamilton and DiResta as they did to de Shumacheris...

 

No disagreement.

I like Webber and am happy he is doing well in the RB

 

LOL. And to think all of this happened at the BRITISH Grand Prix!
