what testing?

My mistake, thinking of Jerez, point still stands that they need to move it.

Aye aye something exciting happens! Least Vettel needs to do something to get second now!

Flibster · 9 May 2010 at 13:29

Oh yes.... Than you Virgin Racing.

BTW.. Anyone know what Trulli and Buemi did?

Vettel is a muppet. Why didn't he just hold the line.. Lewis would have had to back off or crash.

Hamilton finds time to file a formal complaint with Charlie Whiting whilst racing

woo hamilton! vettel will be all over him though in a lap or 2.

He will, but you have to be roughly 2s/lap faster than the car in front to pull off an overtake. If Hamilton has a "moment" or shreds his tyres, then Vettel might have a chance.

think vettel was slightly behind hamilton so would have had to yield.

Button v Schumacher should be interesting.

utajoker · 9 May 2010 at 13:31

hamilton fastest lap 1:27.1 3 tenths faster than anyone.

Been tidying my bedroom (sat down in time for Lewis exiting the pits) take it i've not missed much?

englishpremier · 9 May 2010 at 13:32

he had the inside line. Would like to see it again, but even Martin said he was unsure why Vettel took to the run off area.

Its not as easy as you are making out. Vettel was coming from behind and against Hamilton, its not easy to pull off an overtake, which is what Vettel was effectively attempting to do.

The camera isn't brilliant but it also looks like his visibility of where Hamilton actually was, wasn't great.

hamilton dropping vettel a little.

Form is temporary, class is permanent. Say what you will, Vettel is far the superior driver much like Hamilton is to Button.

Afternoon all *twiddling thumbs*

First race of the season iv been properly awake for (and the first iv been able to watch on stevie the tv) didnt realise how long this seasons cars look!

Hope HRT notice Senna isnt all that good (as pointed out above) and we see the return of Klein

Alguersuari is now my new favourite driver too!

utajoker · 9 May 2010 at 13:37

schumacher gets a much better drive out the last corner than button.
