Taking a risk and burning 2 sets in Q3 hoping for a wet race tomoz could be interesting, hope a force India trys it

Did anyone else think Martin Whitmarsh seemed a tad intoxicated? Giggled with basically every reply....

rosberg could be a good shout acid.

looks like we will have a new lap record today.

Did I hear right:
Martin Whitmarsh said that McLaren weren't getting the top speed they needed and then DC (or someone) said that they were using a rear-wing designed for a wet race which would reduce their top speed...

Seems like McLaren are relying on race pace rather than quali pace and are hoping for rain.

Knip, keep dancing!

Whitmarsh himself said that as it was a greater than 50% chance of rain during the race tomorrow, it's sense to run a wet setup.

Yeah, it just seems a bit odd that he was complaining about (seemed confused about) not having top straight-line speed and then it transpires that the team decided to use a rear wing which they know is going to limit their maximum speed.

I'll go with:

Vettel
Alonso
Webber
Hamilton
Rosberg
Button
Massa

Think I'll stop there.

legend kobayashi

ins0mn1ac · 11 Jun 2011 at 18:44

Kobayashi is definitely Japanese, he got some skills going sideways
