Sebastian Vettel surprised friend and enemy by winning the Indian Grand Prix that way he did. Contrary to the predictions, he virtually won the race by lap 10. But how exactly did he do that?
I see. Thanks for response, Stefan. I guess that is typical of F1. Drivers are not in the best situation to respond courteously, you know. Kimi was pissed for sure...stefan_ wrote:Kimi was in trouble with the tires and Grosjean had to pass him quick so he could go away form Massa.
People will probably freak out and say "OMGGG THOSE WORDS FOR KIMI THEY WANT HIM OUTTT LOTUS BASTARDS!!" but I am almost sure everyone swears like hell over the radio.
Finally some words with logic...henra wrote:Don't be so harsh on him. Maybe the new tyre compound simply doesn't suit his driving style so well.Helios wrote: As a Hamilton-fan, I have to agree. He's mediocre when it comes to intelligent racing. 1 or 2 highlights per season are not enough if you want to win more than one championship.
Moreover, bad timing and small setup or strategy mistakes in the tightly packed upper midfield can make you look like a complete idiot in modern F1. Just ask Nico Rosberg or Romain Grosjean throughout this season. Or Fernando Alonso for that matter.
From Hero to Zero can be a small step.
Why not? He's the one comparing himself to Senna. At the same time his career is going downwards since his debut season, even 2008 wasn't as good as 2007 in terms of consistancy.henra wrote:

lol...just as expected...die hard fans are just that... I'm a fan too..but.. Logic is looking at trend and figuring out the central thing to the events that unfold. Even in the bridgestone years, the second half of his seasons were littered with bizarre and senseless crap. The only exception was last year, unfortunately that was when mclaren chose to drop the ball. It's all numbers....if you are going to perform some of the time, you will lose to the guy who's on his game all the time or thereabouts.Poleman wrote:Finally some words with logic...henra wrote:Don't be so harsh on him.

loses at starts, Rosberg is clumsy and can't overtake so it was over early, Red Bull took care of the rest, Webber's car fell apart - genius NeweyI wonder how long it will take for everybody to understand that the ability to overtake in modern F1 has almost exclusively to do with the chosen setup (i.e. gearing and DF/drag level).iotar__ wrote:Rosberg is clumsy and can't overtake so it was over early,
There is no such thing as a free lunch...Red Bull took care of the rest, Webber's car fell apart - genius Newey
Agreed, good job of him.Perez had at last "his" race, this is partly why they hired him
Had to happen one day when you jump for the (non existing yet - but hopefully emerging) gap every time.- nice to see hypocritical, verbal advocates of high standards of driving (Raikk, Webb, Alon) bumping into each other at the start
It a common tactic for teams to include expletives in radio calls that they don't want broadcast.Morteza wrote:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pTZSnqPp2NU
What was this about? I arrived home when the race was finished, so forgive me for asking...
The best way to sum up what he did on Grosjean is "dick move" imo.iotar__ wrote: - Raikkonen's driving towards the end - pathetic,
with the car characteristics they have, they always have a chance to win big when they gamble.stefan_ wrote:I try not to be biased about this, but I can't help myself thinking that today Lotus pretty much trashed 90% of the drivers by coming from the back of the grid to the front. Again. It happened with Kimi, now with Grosjean.
His tires were gone and he couldn't keep the car properly. He was aware of RoGro coming strong from behind (hence the radio communication) but was waiting for a good place to move away because he could have f***ed up everything if the did something at the wrong time.Sevach wrote:The best way to sum up what he did on Grosjean is "dick move" imo.iotar__ wrote: - Raikkonen's driving towards the end - pathetic,
