A manner that doesn't please david couthard! Commentary has been very funny today

Go Webber

el_dazza · 31 Jul 2011 at 13:56

Vettel was 0.5s up after 2 sectors and lost 0.7 in the 3rd.. seems like he's getting it together now, bar that final sector

Freakbro · 31 Jul 2011 at 13:58

Could be tight at the end of the race with tyre wear since they will only be doing 1 more stop

Half way point of the race - only taken a hour so far.

I'm more concerned about the side blowing sidepods.

As am I. Can't really help a driver trying to escape a burning car to be avoiding the considerable heat from the exhausts (and now possible exploding batteries or oil coolers etc) on the patch of ground they are trying to stand on...

thats early from alonso isnt it?

Flibster · 31 Jul 2011 at 14:01

I wonder if Herbie Blasch will be taking a look at the Renault later on.

It's all gone a bit flat, needs more rain.

mmj_uk · 31 Jul 2011 at 14:01

I'd be scared to get in the Renault after seeing it explode like that...

CaptainRAVE · 31 Jul 2011 at 14:02

Mike_P · 31 Jul 2011 at 14:02

Wasn't the KERS battery, thats under the fuel cell in the tub.
The nitrogen cylinder for the valvetrain isn't in the sidepod either.

Radiator or oil cooler?

Looked like the cooling system blew out due to the fire, didn't look like a fuel explosion or engine.

CaptainRAVE · 31 Jul 2011 at 14:03

More worrying if any of that came into the car!
