what was his grid penalty for?
a racing incident but its schumacher so automaticly a penalty.
what did webber get when he speared a lotus or hrt the other year?
everyone shouting ban the lotus, but someone else spears someone, its the person doing the spearing which is wrong. As well as webber almost spearing someone else last week as well.

Personally I thought it was either Senna or a racing incident.
Couldn't improve, so saved tyres.
I'm loving this season so far. So unpredictable. I'd love to see Lewis win tomorrow, but it's doubtful, all things being equal. Can't begrudge Webber a win, he deserves one after being trounced by Vettel for the last 2 years. Should be fun. Go Lewis !

Surprised no one has been childish enough to tell you to eat that quote.
I thought it was going to be Rosberg or Grosjean for sure.
By this reasoning, surely Massa deserves to win at least 5 races this year
Sports people should be rewarded for being top class, not for being mediocre.
Should be an interesting race tomorrow. Or maybe not. The only way I can see anyone but webber winning is through car malfunction, punctures, or badly strategised pitstops, because there really are very little to none overtaking opportunities.

Trying to give senna a prostate exam in the middle of a race.
I've worked some numbers* based on the fastest qualifying time set for the six races this season and the fastest in-race lap set for the five races run so far this season.
As a sum total in qualifying:
LH has been 3.247 seconds faster than JB (or an average of 0.541 per qualifying session).
FA has been 2.553 seconds faster than FM (or an average of 0.511 per qualifying session).
As a sum total during the race:
LH has been 0.121 seconds faster than JB (or an average of 0.020 per race).
FA has been 3.100 seconds faster than FM (or an average of 0.620 per race).
Interestingly in qualifying the difference between team mates is actually better for Massa; but both drivers are a good half a second slower than their rival.
However, in race pace, the two McLaren drivers are incredibly close but Alonso is over six tenths quicker than his counterpart.
Now these figures alone don't mean much. I think you have to take them into account along with qualifying position, race position and WDC points — you can't rely on one metric alone.
So basically... Massa's **** amiright?.
*Times from the official F1 website. I'm happy to share my spreadsheet with anyone who wants it but it's been created in Apple Numbers so the conversion to Excel might break it.

yep, little surprised, he beats JB in one stat. But that's still only one stat out of what 7. Points tell the right story. A couple off places between them compaed to 15places.
And let's not forget when's te last time, Fm did something good? Compaed to what JB has done for the last 3seasons.
