I'm not really interested enough in these things. The facts are clear. Vettel drove a damaged car passing six back markers and crucially avoided to be lapped by the leaders. He got 45 or 50 s back by the safety car which helped him to catch another 7 cars on track. Nobody else did this this season. That is good enough for me to call it an excellent recovery. You guys may have different criteria. So be it.komninosm wrote:So can you please quote the actual radio call please?
Also I'm pretty sure Webber pitted on lap 17 so Vettel breathed easier then. So your 27 laps thing is misleading.
Myurr, I'm not going off topic with you. Silverstone race here!
Well what is the bodywork next to the tyres? I would call it diffusor and it isn't exactly unimportant.ell66 wrote: theres so much wrong in this statement its unreal.
first off, vetel had next to no damage...i rememver them saying "just a few minor scratchnings to the bodywork."
the only reason he passed that force india is because sutil was on an alternative strategy, he'd been out on the soft tyres for a long time.
oh and no vetel did not come out 10 seconds ahead of webber, it was whitlled down to 10 seconds after about 15 laps...so really get youre facts right.
Re the gap and the lap times I'll give you the figures. Here you go.
How about providing us with the facts by making a nice graphic of the gap and the lap times. Why should I always do the leg work? If I had a wrong memory I have no problem to agree to a mistake if you make your point clear in numbers.
