Mclaren are starting to fall back in the development race peeps. RB8 fastest by a longshot in sector 3. Unassailable.

Webber is not performing too well. I have my theories about Webber's on and off and it is not very nice at all. I can't even mention them here. Hint... it has something to do with addiction.

No he wasn't blocked. Michael never lifts off the throttle and kept his line.

Michael just said the team told him to come in. Felipe didn't hold him up.

Button must be suffering from some sort of "addiction" too? :wtf:

Alonso was only half a tenth behind Vettel in sector 3 - hardly unassailable. However, does look like Vettel is run short gears as he did in Monza last year, because he is fastest in sector 3 yet slower than all the other top cars in the speed trap.

Correct me if I'm wrong... the slowest car of the top five teams, fastest in the fastest(top speed) sector of the top five teams. More or less... I thought at least Lotus GP would have learned not to shave off all their aerodynamic downforce to get less drag... I'm sad to say that it seems that Red Bull are yet again putting the whole "package" togheter in the right way, the other team are slow to learn... F**k!
The speed of Ayrton Senna.
The mind of Alain Prost.
The dedication of Michael Schumacher.
The determination of Alex Zanardi.

short gearing means he is geared for the race and not for qualifying.

Then why on earth calling MS home, as tires shall not be a problem for tomorrow? Only if car issues are showing again... Indeed, such a disappointment for MGP!

Again, just some times to compare. Schumacher could have done much better. Too bad for him. Alonso as well.

It means he's geared optimally for running at his own pace, both over a single lap and in the race. The downside is that he's not geared to overtake, which could hold him up in the race if he gets stuck behind another car or in traffic around the pit stops.

Nice to see Massa being able to drive the car.

I was putting my money on Maldonado for hitting The Wall. :)
