Australian Grand Prix 2013, Melbourne - Race 1/19

[gilchrd]

Rain coming in according to Red Bull.

 

[smr]

More rain needs more brain

 

[MagicBoy]

I've gone with apple pie and cinnamon ice cream.

I'm so confused today that I had three breakfasts.

Best not tell @F1Kate about the choice of food.

 

[Ceryndrion]

wonder if there'll be someone to risk slicks in q3

 

[Glaucus]

I'd rather not lose tyre pressures waiting though ?

Tyre pressure is sod all if it does start hammering it down. It's a risk and they aren't a top team. All off them straight out tells you what the weather people think.


Give me apple pie and ice cream, pretty please. In fact that much sugar would probably have me bouncing off te wall till the race.

Button 2nd!

 

[Flibster]

Button's gone to the super softs after Perez did.

Oooh, so had Bottas

 

[smr]

What are we doing!!??,?

 

[Flibster]

And Perez pits for another set of super softs...

Button well off the track.

 

[Danthus]

Slicks seem to be working well.

 

[Flibster]

Perez reports that he thinks he had a puncture. So pits and they stuck another set of super softs on.

Wrong!

Button back on Inters

 

[Skeeter]

McLaren seem to just be panicking.

 

[Danthus]

There is an old saying in F1, be on the right tyre at the right time, seems McLaren have ignored this.

 

[Glaucus]

McLaren back at their finest tactical choices.

lol

 

[gilchrd]

Button losing his weather/tyre mojo? I wonder if he has done just enough.

Edit - as i say that, he tumbles down the board.

 

[smr]

Great. Both our drivers will be out in q2...

 

[Skeeter]

Both McLarens are going out this session, and not because they are slow, but because they were stupid.

 

[Glaucus]

jB and Hammy through

 

[Flibster]

Going out is Hulkenberg, Sutil, Vergne, Ricciardo, Perez and Bottas
