hammy losing 1.5 sec to top3 for 3 laps in a row now

dannyjo22 · 26 Jun 2011 at 14:02

Also to be fair the top 3 are within a couple of seconds of each other, prior to this year people would have been happy with that?

I think the track temp has just caught them out. So no one can push as they would like.

Im sorry but im not doing a rain dance, look what happened last time.......oh wait.......

I'm sweating my arse off in Middlesbrough. Can't imagine what it must be like there.

It seems we are seeing what webber warned we would get this year on the rules, managed pace instead of hammer and tongs racing.

It's been like that since the refuelling ban to be fair, this years rules have just exasperated it.

I wonder what the overtake total will be today, even with DRS?

More than 13 do we think?

For once I'd be happy if you did the rain dance

Button about to retire?

This is getting a bit tedious now :/

Nooooo Jenson

So much for mclaren having the fastest race car.....

yawnnnnnn, first time ive been bored this season

dannyjo22 · 26 Jun 2011 at 14:08

Such a shame they can't lob on another set of softs, the tyre change is about to ruin this race. I'm enjoying this to be fair, Alonso stalking wondering what will happen.

Emlyn_Dewar · 26 Jun 2011 at 14:09

These HRTs have been in everyone's way today.
They are an absolutely disgrace.

MattU · 26 Jun 2011 at 14:09

Sorry but this is just dull, feels like I'm watching the World Tyre Conservation Championship. If they can't race flat out then what is the point? It's all the commentators have to talk about too

Have to agree.... Though kind of expected it with this track.

If i wasn't on lappy i would fall to sleep.

Kenai · 26 Jun 2011 at 14:12

I've not been watching most of this anyway, just flicking back if hear the commentary get a bit excitable.

Shimmy · 26 Jun 2011 at 14:12

That Red Bull is something else, fastest laps maintaining very good tyre degradation.

Even the KERS seems to be pretty much sorted.

Skeeter · 26 Jun 2011 at 14:14

I hate this track.

MarcLister · 26 Jun 2011 at 14:14

Was that Lewis saying he can't go any faster?

The same Lewis who said he couldn't go any slower earlier?
