Kimi Raikkonen has converted a brilliantly working 2-stop strategy to a race wing for Lotus, immediately confirming the long run pace of the E21. Fernando Alonso finished in second place, 10 seconds behind while Sebastian Vettel completes the podium in third.
i don't think anyone is blaming the driversmx_tifoso wrote:Please stop blaming the drivers, as it's up to the FIA/Charlie Whiting whether they run or not, or if a safety car comes out, etc.
No sense blaming charlie as well.. they are responsible.. If he OKs the qualifying and someone has a maldonado/grojean 2012 moment..and someone gets injured... People will then want charlie's head..FrukostScones wrote:i don't think anyone is blaming the driversmx_tifoso wrote:Please stop blaming the drivers, as it's up to the FIA/Charlie Whiting whether they run or not, or if a safety car comes out, etc.

I dont remember 2008 but do remember 2010 ... You need to consider the time of occurence. it nearly 7PM as of Q2 in melbourne.. when the expected time of sunset is 7:20-7:30 (as told on tv)..Lorenzo_Bandini wrote:

Did you watch Fuji and Silverstone 2008 ?
Korea 2010 ?
Fast cars.. Rain.. water logged circuit.. fading light and some maniacal drivers.. Isn't that a good receipe for a disaster..FrukostScones wrote: yeah, but that is how bad descisions are made.
.. I was one a few years ago .. Melbourne 2005 IIRC..Yes, but they wait 40 minutes for a rain who didn't came. I know at the end it was too dark for the driver, but they didn't have to wait for 40 MINUTES, for NOTHING.kris wrote:I dont remember 2008 but do remember 2010 ...

Not sure I agree with this.. I can speak for myself.. the info I get is either from TV or the internet.. So cant really explain the delay of 40 min as you put it... In all the time spent waiting I could see the medical car going around multiple times.. stranded cars being removed from the track.. So they must have had a reason for the delay..Lorenzo_Bandini wrote: Yes, but they wait 40 minutes for a rain who didn't came.

Charlie Whiting have to go, he is killing this sport.

It's was far worse and these races were great.
I woke up at 6AM to watch Q1 and wait 40 minutes in front of my screen to watch NOTHING, and it's not the first time. Give them more inter and wet tyres, moosson tyres and let them go.
