The Gazzetta says today that they could not find any cause for what Fernando experienced, so they believe it was the tyres that dropped off.dr_cooke wrote:Any confirmation and/or explanation about te alledged sudden loss of grip reported by ALO some laps before the end of race?
That's probably why Lewis only went in twice. Better to lose a few seconds sliding over the track than to enter the gamble that is the McLaren pitstop.Shrieker wrote:I can't for the life of me understand how McLaren can still screw pit stops even after causing Lewis to lose a well earned pole.

Autosprint says that maybe a big marble hit and damaged the rear wing. Remember that Alonso had available only used/lapped hard tyres instead of Maldonado who used new hard tyres.Crucial_Xtreme wrote:The Gazzetta says today that they could not find any cause for what Fernando experienced, so they believe it was the tyres that dropped off.dr_cooke wrote:Any confirmation and/or explanation about te alledged sudden loss of grip reported by ALO some laps before the end of race?
fernando's used tyres are not 'used', they are run in constant speed during free practice so that surface of the tyre changes( i don't know details) and to have better characteristics when they are used in race.italian wrote:Autosprint says that maybe a big marble hit and damaged the rear wing.

I don't think so. I think Cooper is making it out to be more than it really is. The F2012 has proven pretty decent on it's tyres.bhallg2k wrote:Is the use of scrubbed tires in a race that detrimental to performance?
