Brazilian Grand Prix 2013, São Paulo - Race 19/19

******** **** what a **** car.

 

[Skeeter]

How do you know McLaren have had a **** year? When the car in the wall qualified 14, and is the lead car.

Perez is a lucky bugger. There's a big, sharp gap in the wall there and he just bounced and rotated around it.

I didn't notice that.

And Button is apparently a wet weather specialist.....

Looking extremely likely that this will be McLaren's worst season since their first F1 season in 1966 - not even a 4th place.

Hmm looks like we might be getting a delayed Q3 if this heavy rain keeps up.

They're got the full wet tyres to use. It's all been in inters so far.

[edit] And as I post that, Q3 is delayed 10 minutes... Really? They have the full wet tyres. Drivers don't want to go out when it's raining? Well don't then.

Button's strength in the wet though is knowing the right time to switch tyres, rather than his ultimate lap times in the wet. Or at least that's what I've always thought. I'm not 100% convinced that his tyre selection isn't down to luck, but he has gotten it spot-on several times.

You know they never use the full wets they're just for show

Don't know why Pirelli produce any to be honest, the only conditions they are suitable for they don't race in!

Another Vettel pole and win is in order then, Rosberg looks set to trounce Hamilton in the wet, I thought Lewis was the rain master???

no thats button in 15th.

Rosberg is also good in the rain, but ultimately it's a new car(to Hamilton), the car wants a different setup in the wet, and there has been very little wet running. On a car that Rosberg has had years in and Hamilton has had only a few hours in the wet, I wouldn't expect miracles.

Game ...set..match smr never learns

 

[Flibster]

Really? Another 10 minute delay?

Green light the session. They'll stick the full wets on and go take a look. If it's too wet, they'll pit again. If not, they'll continue as if nothings wrong.

 

[drunkenmaster]

Is that safety car sliding around all over the place, brave man to push a car like that through the corners.

or just let them go as fast as they can on the wets...

is this not what wet tires are for?




we make wet tires for when its wet but we dont race in the wet because its too wet to race... right

 

[DiCe!]

so perez out qualis button 10-9.

Doesnt mean anything, Button will make up places, Perez in the same car stays still or goes backwards.

 

[Crippled Potato]

no thats button in 15th.

That's only after jenson pushes Hamilton into the barriers.
