Looked like it was a safe release but he didn't get off the line fast. Happened with the other Caterham as well

True, there was an awful lot of wheel spin before he got traction. By then it was too late.

There is a marker a distance up the pits that they're not allowed to release if a car has passed isn't it?

He can't have been sat there spinning up that long...

Close.

utajoker · 2 Sep 2012 at 13:45

wow. that was risky.

CaptainRAVE · 2 Sep 2012 at 13:45

Yikes, would have laughed if Vettel got taken out.

Irish_Tom · 2 Sep 2012 at 13:45

That was close!

el_dazza · 2 Sep 2012 at 13:45

Schumi and Vettel almost take each other out!

Button's consistency has been incredible as every lap under green flag racing conditions has been within 0.1 seconds says DC, skill :cool:

I thought the argument went along the lines that closed cockpit could be just as dangerous because it would make it harder to exit the vehicle.

And when's the. Last time. We had a massive fire?
Risk of being hit in the head, compare to. Being stuck.

The risk is far greater with open cockpit.

Lol bet Vettel **** himself when Schumi came in then :eek:

Kenai · 2 Sep 2012 at 13:45

LOL

Awesome pit entry by Schumacher

Glaucus · 2 Sep 2012 at 13:46

Best pit ever, needs an award for that.

CaptainRAVE · 2 Sep 2012 at 13:47

Fantastic replay between msc and Vettel. Would love to see the remains of those tyres.

Skillmister · 2 Sep 2012 at 13:47

Was vettel meaning to come in then? The red bull guys were in the pits then went back inside as msc came in. Looked like he changed his mind and wheel spinned to make the turn

Irish_Tom · 2 Sep 2012 at 13:47

2.6 second stop. :eek:

Guerrilla · 2 Sep 2012 at 13:47

Nice stop from Mclaren.

that looks crap and if you want it to look like that watch Le mans 24hr

Kenai · 2 Sep 2012 at 13:47

2.6 is absolutely crazy fast

el_dazza · 2 Sep 2012 at 13:47

Is Rosberg driving a Ford Fiesta this weekend? He's desperately slow..

Are those the cars from GT5 per chance? Love driving them insanely fast
