I like it, that is my new name for him.

Hehe

I think they need the two extremes of the tyres here, super soft and hard. So the speed difference between two cars on different compounds is higher.

Vettel came out with an astonishing outburst while stuck behind Jenson Button. “I can go much faster than him so do something!” Vettel yelled at his patient engineer Rocky. Followed by, “Try something then, try something!” to which he got the reply: “There are cars behind, Sebastian, we can’t just do anything”.

lol

Why don't they just introduce refueling during the race?

Brilliant name for him!

The XL version has a nice review of James Allen too

You don’t realise how good James Allen is until you get a buffoon to replace him for a couple of races

If he could go so much faster why didn't he overtake? Vettel seems a bit of a cry baby when things don't go his way.

Did laugh when Vettel had a bit of a spat on the radio during the race

Bit premature imo. If Jenson wins at Spa and Lewis has a DNF Lewis will be an AMAZING 17 points ahead. Wow

If that happens then the championship is over for them both and not just Jenson, in that situation team orders from then on really won't matter. It's the gap to the leader that matters not just to his team mate.

Lewis really is Mclarens only hope of a title this year.

Jenson was being smart and using half his KERS after the last corner

So Seb was 0.5 behind him all the way around and then Jenson just KERsed him on the pit straight haha.

This is another reason why it was stupid for Mclollen to pit him when they did. Seb just wasn't getting past.

So you're saying that if Lewis has a DNF between now and the last race he's out of contention ?

very bizare on another forum someone is suggestiong kobayashi stopped one box earlier and then creeped forward slowly but even if that happened i would have expected schumacher to be looking forward at the start :S

lolarknor. :rolleyes:

Is there any need for that?

what thread was on about drivers moaning a lot?

notice whos moaning this time, the guys not winning.

doesnt matter who it is, if their not winning, something is wrong and they moan.

To be honest Jenson has got every right to moan. Kimi will moan even if he wins the WDC. Didn't get enough Champagne or something...

Nothing wrong with that.
All sports people moan when things don't go there way.
Nadal moans when he is losing.
The best footballers in the World moan when the ref doesnt give decisions their way.
The best drivers in the World moan when things are not going their way.

I would be worried if a driver/sportsman didnt have a moan.

Why was refueling removed?

If he also has to race his team mate who I think is out of it and drop points to him, then yes depending on who takes those 25 points I think Lewis will be out of it.

He now needs a run of finishes like Alonso had in 2010.

Numerous reasons.

Safety
Push fuel efficiency
And remove the tactics of overtaking in pit stops rather than on the track

That one didn't work out
