is my top 10. Very tough how to place some drivers....especially from 3rd to 7th

 

Good morning! Hopefully an exciting race!

 

Weather is 12C and good at track

 

gp2just started

 

Hoping for an exciting race today.

 

Merc are a good 2 sec ahead of the field. One could say maybe the gap has got bigger after the break though it is a very long lap. Williams don't look good despite what we all thought. Where did their speed go?

Happy both mercs are next to eachother on the grid. Think lewis will take it but will be a fight to the end.

With alonso and vettel side by side hoping for another epic battle like the previous ones they've had this year.

Thinking ham, rosberg, alonso, vettel, ricciardo top 5.

Think the Williams don't seem to have it. In any event, they always stuff strategy up and throw it away

 

Bianchi starting 16th too! Hope he can keep
It clean and maybe get some points but I doubt it somehow

 

Williams is slow because their car doesn't do wet weather.

If it stays dry Bottas should end 3rd, no hope to beat the Merc's who have improved even more and Bottas has to deal with 3 very fast drivers/cars in front of him.

 

dry race? in dry i can see williams up there fighting for the last podium

 

Losing out in free practice as well though? Mind you they usually hide things in practice and run heavier fuel. So plausible I guess.

 

Good morning Usual Suspects. Hoping for a surprise double Ferrari podium today....

 

Williams almost always runs slow in FP. Same like Red Bull.

...does not like wet weather

 

Rain now

 

Whoops.

Yes that's what I meant to say.

 

Interesting bit on Ferrari just now.

Mattiachi confirmed both drivers for next year (as we know) without hesitating.

This years car is NOT James Allisons' design. Going to be interesting what he comes up with next year. His Lotus E20 and E21 where pretty damn impressive for a cash strapped team. As discussed earlier, the inherent design of the f14t just doesn't allow the modifications needed to give Kimi the car he needs.

Fingers crossed.

 

Interesting it was. Not worried about keeping a driver happy......hmmmmm

 

Wishfull thinking there Is.

 

Missed that bit (watching part of the slide show on ****ty connection before heading upstairs to watch the race)...

Keeping a driver happy is pretty damn important, especially for any of the top teams.

 

Appears dry and sunny now.

 

A one stop is possible

 

Sure is, but pitlane is quite short here so a 2 stop can work to be faster

 

Fred rumour off to the Bull camp
