Irish_Tom · 10 Jul 2011 at 13:56

God, so that the only DRS over take this season that has been no skill and purely speed difference. I think not..

Oh FCS I said "IT MADE NO DIFFERENCE ON THIS OCCASION"

I am not advocating DRS read what I wrote FFS.

Red Bulls are going to be all over Hamilton.

Psycho Ned · 10 Jul 2011 at 13:57

Vettel will be past using the cheat wing before long.

of course it did Alonso gained time on the rest of the lap and would have been closer at the pit stop.

He didn't gain any time that lap, he had to brake earlier.

How didn't he, he was in front of hammy, before hammys pitstop. He gained an absolute minimum of a second.

alonso loving this, hammy and vettel holding each other up

Freakbro · 10 Jul 2011 at 14:01

Bit of weaving there by Hamilton?

More of a twitch I guess

sunama · 10 Jul 2011 at 14:01

Is this the first time we have seen Vettel, stuck right behind another car?

I remember in Spain, he never seemed to be right behind Alonso, but in this race, he is absolutely on Hamilton's wing, but is unable to pull off an overtake.

Mike_P · 10 Jul 2011 at 14:03

thought webber would be right there too but he seems to be slipping back a tad!

Here is a good point, if using the pit lane is a few seconds faster across the line than using the track.

If your only a couple of seconds behind the leader (Or someone else), would you finish the race going through the pit lane and possibly jumping up a place?

Irish_Tom · 10 Jul 2011 at 14:03

Alonso nearly 10 seconds lead! That's nuts.

Teams have been told they will be penalised if they try using the pitlane for advantage.
