Won't happen even if he catches him, Schumi would need to make a mistake.

Plus Schumi is a master at making his car big ie when someones trying to overtake him...he will make it very hard for Button to get past him

Hamilton setting the fastest first sector...been told nothing wrong with the car so go for it and he has.

Not sure why he's not just preserving the engine - there's no way he'll catch Massa.

Ok, Trulli is having hydraulic problems.

Another one? HRT, Virgin, Sauber....

Flibster · 14 Mar 2010 at 13:33

Trulli now in the 2:17's

and I was just going to say they did so well to be only 1 lap behind.

Massa almost lost it there.

Yep hes got 3rd place so a podium place...id try and preserve the engine unless its bulletproof but i guess the Mcclaren team have told him to just go for it...hope it doesnt blow up in face lol.

I'd Love to see the smile on his face.

Its great that MyLotusRacing and MikeGascoyne have been tweeting during the race.

Even a few pictures from the pit lane.

*is in a huff cos Fred's going to win*

Hate to say it, but this race is quite boring. Feel sorry for Vettel, funny the way Ferrari celebrated when Alonso went past - over taking a broken car isn't so amazing.

Mp4 · 14 Mar 2010 at 13:40

I know Vet should have won that race but i love the deep sound of his engine with the exaust off

Stormrider · 14 Mar 2010 at 13:40

Come on Lotus, get both cars to the end

Yas786 · 14 Mar 2010 at 13:41

Buemi out now

knip · 14 Mar 2010 at 13:41

Buemi didn't fancy the last lap then!

now is that mechnaincal or did he run out of fuel?

Creature · 14 Mar 2010 at 13:43

Booooooooooo.

Yas786 · 14 Mar 2010 at 13:44

Oh well Alonso wins...didnt really want the arrogant spanish SOB to win but hes been the best driver this week...would have preferred to see Massa win in all honesty...Hammy lost far too much time behind Rosberg as it was shown once he got past him that he was blazing fast.
Schumi comes in 6th and Button 7th...pretty good race back for Schumi after coming back from retirement.

Bit of excitement near the end ie Vettel breaking down but otherwise a pretty boring and bland race by all accounts...just wish they would bring back the days of proper racing with the minumum of rules.
