Oh nice graphic, I haven't seen that before. Starting tyres, nice touch.

Here we go then.

My prediction - Vettle, Button, Webber.
Hamilton to have an 'issue'.

Can I have two predictions?

Vettle to win and Hamilton dnf
Or
Hamilton to win and webber second.

I'll go with the first one, modified to Vettel/Alonso to win, Hammy to take someone else out with himself.

Have Ferrari been completely written off this weekend?
I thought they looked to have the pace to challenge Mclaren...
If Mclaren can then challenge Red Bull possibly, I'd expect Alonso to be involved also.

Hoping Jensan gets another good result today but either McLaren will do for me, or a Mercedes but I think that's being a bit hopeful

Bye bye Vettel... see you at the end of the race

Kenai · 26 Jun 2011 at 13:06

Well there we go then, can't see it changing much now until someone bins it or screws up a pit stop

Emlyn_Dewar · 26 Jun 2011 at 13:07

Very aggressive from Massa, he was going through regardless. Good stuff.

Hxc · 26 Jun 2011 at 13:08

Those Ferraris are so so much better off the line than anyone else.

Emlyn_Dewar · 26 Jun 2011 at 13:09

DRS enabled... Here comes the shame.

Edit: Why have they got the rules like this?
If the driver makes the pass in the first zone, he should not be allowed to take the benefit of using the wing in the second zone.

We all know your opinion on it. Is there any need to keep commenting? :confused:

Kenai · 26 Jun 2011 at 13:10

How on earth does that Ferrari manage to get such a better start? I mean, you would normally need a hell of a power difference to breeze past a car like Massa did then - if these systems for launching are as automated as suggested, what on earth is it that Massa is doing to fly past people with such a massive speed differential?
