Only managed to catch the back end of P1... Gutierrez being in for an ill Perez, is that just for that session?

Edit: Just seen the answer on Sky Sports News... Perez back in for P2, some recovery that :p

So mclaren are not telling Lewis what new parts he has because he is leaving..most likely normal.

Yep, perfectly normal for any team who has a driver leaving. He will soon be banned from areas at the factory too.

Now watch the media go crazy with how McLaren are bitter about him leaving and deliberately trying to stop him winning any races :rolleyes:
 
Not sure if they are using it yet or not. P1 and 2 here are fairly meaningless, only P3 will really give us an indication of qually pace.


True..but 9ths off the pace it's not looking good. I don't care about this or next season..roll on 2014 :)
 
Vettel pumped in a silly lap at the end, if he was on the same or close enough fuel to Ferrari/Mclaren, they were doing 1:31.9's or so at the end, and Vettel went and did a 1:31.2 pretty easily. Currently looking like a big advantage in all situations for Red Bull, which wouldn't be that surprising. Though for the title you'd rather hope that Red Bull just had their big upgrades a few races ago and Ferrari/Mclaren had something to come back at them for the last few races.

Its seeming more like Red Bull had huge upgrades several races ago... and now they've got more.... and everyone else sucks :( :p

" Red Bull's Mark Webber has made it clear he will not pull over and hand victory to team-mate Sebastian Vettel to help the German's title bid. "

Love Webber :D

No he won't, they will have him on a slightly slower different strategy to get the same job done. He will do as he is told like always. They will also use him as the tyre guinea pig to see when to pit vettel.

I hope we get to a situation where Webber leads Vettel with all the pitstops done this year to see exactly how big webbers balls are in comparison to his mouth.
