Alguersuari and Buemi were better than their replacements?

Alguersuari and Buemi should still be racing, if not at STR, then definitely at another team.

That rather makes an assumption that the car is as capable, which it isn't.

daniel said in his twitter account he was pushing the car as hard as possible and it had no more.

the cars and not comparable to 2011.
however vergnes actions are questionable ie today with a flat he returned to pits too fast and shook the car apart

His trust in STR is very respectful... but like I said a year ago... wrong.

Give Alonso the car and see how fast it really is. This car is not to be scoffed at!

Surely this is a joke right? :)

You can´t honestly believe that this car is the fourth fastest car of them all.
I would love to see how you got to that conclusion. (watching pictures of the car and thinking it looks good aerodynamically won´t work)

Gawd, if i started a crank thread like this it'd be canned in a flash.

Webber should take heed of Markos flip flop loyalty and take that seat at maranello.

Why downgrade when he has the best car on the grid?

Just want to applaud that bit of genius driving from Vergne. First he conks Kovalainen, ruining both their races, then he compounds the joy by driving flat-out back to the pits with a disintegrating rear right, destroying the rear of his car in the process. Like a boss. Later he is interviewed and explains it might have been a racing incident.

The situation at STR illustrates the folly of Red Bull's driver development policy. The STR car is probably on par with the Force India but as neither driver has the reference of experience, they are no where.
It would be best if STR operated free of Red Bull influence.
As I've said before, Vergne in boxing parlance is a bum!

the STR at the moment is lucky if it's faster than the Caterham, let alone the FI.
