British GP 2010 - Silverstone

[mach11]

this year's british grand prix is going to be really tough....

hope the mclarens win this time.... and some of the silverstone based teams will have a strong result i guess....

Btw have the mercs come with a new update for their car???

Mclaren aint winning this, either a ferrari or a redbull.
I hope Mclaren can atleast go p2 to mitigate some of the losses, but redbull has no reason to mess up on this track.
Bahrain allover agian, this time without the engine problems i think. Though i still want Lewis to finally get to fight Vettel in the dry. He hasn't been able to get a piece of Vettel all year.

Guys, you know what you have to do to get your posts erased:

- Go off topic.

Is that too hard to understand? Naaah. It isn't.

Those who attacked virulently other posters have received a warning. (what? the little dot at the end of the previous phrase? Yes, that was a period)

Are Mclaren in trouble?

Looks like it.....

Did Vettel bin it with a couple of mins to go? Official timing showed "stop" for him in S2 and Saftey car deployed.

The front wing of his car broke at the nose attachment, so safety car was deployed.

German F1 Page says Vettel's nose broke and tilted downwards making him go straight in the fast righthander. THere are no reports of severe damage to either the car or the driver.

So Vettel really is hard on his cars!

Apparently the problem is not with the nose section of the join, but the chassis side. Quick fix for the nose part as that can just be replaced but the Chassis side is a different matter.

Yer. I just hope the race isn't boring because the fans and everyone deserve a good British Grandprix. If McLaren can't do it then we can only hope Ferrari are closer than they appear.

I'm very surprised that McLaren are dispensing with their new exhaust system, but if the car is as unstable as it looked and they can't get any useful testing or data from it by running it then I suppose they have to. There was something very wrong with the balance of that car though.

At the end of the session when Button was being wheeled in, it looked like he WAS running the new exhausts... I could be mistaken though as he wasn't earlier in the session and I thought it would be too big a job to switch. Unfortunately you cannot rewind the red button feed so I couldn't double check.

MacLaren have reverted back to the old exhaust

Doesn't seem to work for Button...
