Australian Grand Prix 2012, Albert Park Circuit - Race 1/20

[DBT85]

C'mon Perez do the world a favour

 

[MagicBoy]

In your face Vettel

Edit: huh, I thought Alonso took Vettel, maybe not

Nope, was a fake Red Bull.

 

[knip]

Perez stay out stay out!!!

Edit - damn, you can pit now.

 

[Flibster]

Are you thinking the red bull is far better on tyres? I'd fancy mclaren to hang onto 1-2 if it wasn't for drs.

Red Bull have split the cars. Vettel on the softs and Webber on the mediums.

Possibly trying to use the extra grip to catch the McLarens, but will probably have to stop sooner. Problem is the track isn't fully rubbered in yet. Once the final stint is underway the track will be grippy and the softs will cling onto that lovely.

Hold him Perez!

if only FOM had HD onboard camera's!

They have been tested and look brilliant. Don't seem to use them. Possibly not reliable enough.

 

[Glaucus]

He needs more than 5 or 6 laps. He needs more like 10 or even 15 laps, as he's on softs next.

Good point, vettel using them up well now. I hope you are right.

Rosberg passed easily :O

 

[englishpremier]

Vettel is over half a second quicker than the McLarens

 

[DBT85]

My hope is that if Vettel can use the Softs to take Hamilton that Hmailton can use the higher top speed and softs later in the race to take it back.

 

[dannyjo22]

Webber might be looking ok if he can run longer than vettel. Kers will probably break.

 

[knip]

I've got two friends who don't have sky texting me asking whats going on because the radio just isn't the same!

Teams and drivers probably aren't happy with carrying some extra weight on their helmets during a race.

 

[daveski]

I managed to find somewhere to watch the race without Sky. Full of ads though.

 

[wesley]

button's girlfriend?

 

[Doohickey]

Webber might be looking ok if he can run longer than vettel. Kers will probably break.

Who knows if Webber's kers is even working today!

 

[Locke]

Hamiltons girl you mean!

 

[Begbie]

Missed the first half.

Woke up to see

1. Button
2. Ham +10


YESSSSSSSSS! Go on Button. Was it Skeeter that said, in the last three years the driver who won pole on the first race has won the championship?
