Alonso's DRS has failed again, and done the same flip.

So much for the assurances that the devices will fail closed.

What are the regulations about DRS? If it breaks and stays open does that count as illegal use outside of a zone?

Actually I agree with you - just!

I hope Vettels car breaks or this is going to be dull.

Let's all pray for a sandstorm to get in his engine

Thought Massa was going to run longer on the hard tyre he came in the same time as Vettel!

It's not like he gained any advantage, having to stop twice!

Hamilton no where in this race

CaptainRAVE · 21 Apr 2013 at 13:23

Terrible pace from Mercedes.

Flibster · 21 Apr 2013 at 13:24

Hamilton's apparently pitted onto another set of used medium tyres...

Have McLaren's strategists moved across to Mercedes with him?

Guess SkyBet won't be paying for my garden tools

Was rosberg's DRS open then when JB passed him..?

Tenzo · 21 Apr 2013 at 13:25

Mclarens got pace.... or Merc just really slow.

Why would it be any more or less dull a race than if it was Hamilton/Alonso/Kimi leading for the race, just because you don't like Vettel? :confused:

Vettel will just drive away probably, I can't see anyone else doing that. So we would see more of a battle. No need to have a go at me just because you love Vettel

Then he's the best driver in the best car and deserves to win

I do like him, but I just try and give some balance to the Vettel hate on here

MERCEDES AMG F1 ‏@MercedesAMGF1 48s
Lewis is P11 and gaining on the Nico/BUT/MAS/GRO/PER wagon #SandySakhir #F1

I guess the strategy is working for now.

webber and vettle race could get interesting

Doesn't mean its any less boring.
I had hope's that the rumoured tyre wear issues Red Bull were having, and the fact the Ferrari is much better on their tyres + pretty good pace would result in some interesting racing around the pit stops and into the late race, but now its all ruined

utajoker · 21 Apr 2013 at 13:29

he is only gaining because they are all fighting for position.
