Red bull have had the fastest car all year but have a inate ability to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory!

It's a Newey tradition.

Looks well dark now! And their tyres are shot!

TaKeN · 24 Oct 2010 at 09:53

Lewis is not looking good :eek:

Please just hold on! :eek:

HAM needs to keep it on the road now. Has 17sec gap to Massa in 3rd...

MarcLister · 24 Oct 2010 at 09:54

Sutil going to have his own chair for stewards inquiries for 2011? He'll be busy enough today.

Participant · 24 Oct 2010 at 09:54

Lewis gonna get caught by Massa!

dannyjo22 · 24 Oct 2010 at 09:54

This is nervous stuff.

How is Alonso *that* much quicker than everyone else? I mean I know he has open road but why are his tyres that much better?!

Flibster · 24 Oct 2010 at 09:55

Looks like most of the people with a gap are slowing down to keep the cars intact in the darkness.

Except Alonso.

Mr Jack · 24 Oct 2010 at 09:55

Lewis is crawling now. But no way can pit for tyres now.

Locke · 24 Oct 2010 at 09:55

Pretty sure Massa has a similar problem, luckily enough

Massa is 17 seconds behind but only gaining about 0.5s

I think the cars are all going to be fine with the weight test due to the amount of dirt they all have on them!

He's a double world champion don't you know?

Honestly, no idea. Perhaps the McLaren's just aren't as well set-up for the conditions than Alonso's Ferrari?

Because there is no one better at managing tyres than alonso. He was told to look after them and he did, through specific corners. He is the absolute master at controlling the tyres.

Don't like the chap but masterful drive from Alonso, reckon he'd have done Vettel anyway the way he's finished.

Flibster · 24 Oct 2010 at 09:57

Hamilton - "IT'S TOO DARK NOW. I NEARLY DIDN'T SEE THE CAR COMING BACK ONTO THE TRACK IN THE LAST CORNER."

FreeStream · 24 Oct 2010 at 09:57

Very dark now, cameras are showing ISO noise and struggling to track the cars!
