Malaysia Grand Prix 2012, Kuala Lumpur - Race 2/20

Having read all the post so far.

Can someone list how many drivers have won the world championship driving an inferior car. Lets not mention the year when MSC broke his leg etc... although it was strange how eddie irvine was suddenly a lot more competetive when he had a full kitted out Ferrari, illegal driver aids and all!!!

Best Car wins generally, Drivers are on a fairly even level. in my opinion.

Best car almost always wins although it's always in motion what's the best car. For instance when JB won the title I doubt his car was the best for a majority of the season. Still the best package wins, as with Alonso's titles when Kimi clearly had the faster car but broke more often. So that year the best car was more reliable instead of faster.

It's a hard thing to label but I'd say the last time it happened in my eyes would be 95. Hill clearly had the car to take the title but not the pace or mental strength.

.......

Looking forward to qually this week, never really that bothered but interested to see if Button can get his first Mclaren pole!

Still going for a Lewis win though!
 
looks like another boring weekend with mclaren beeing about half a second faster than everyone else

maybe they will do us a favour and get the fuel loads wrong so it atleast looks close

Or if it was roberg in that Merc ;)

:p

It won't be boring because unlike Red Bull these two Mclaren will actually be able to race each other, for now ;)

The Lewis Jenson battle is the most interesting team mate battle by far and if they are at the front end, it wil make it even more interesting.

In fact do people think that battle deserves it's own thread to stop it over taking the race threads each week?
 
According to my quick calculations, the HRTs actually managed to get within 107% of Hamilton in second practice! :eek:

Again I worded my post poorly I wasn't judging him for anything, just giving my thoughts on why I think he became quite unpopular in those early years. :)
Fair enough, I apologise for my post anyway. It was stupidly arsy when I didn't mean it to be.
 
when have we ever saw hamilton ands button race each other in the mclaren?
anytime one of them had a go the other one was told to save fuel....
 
Is massa being used as some sort of test bench?:p Can't understand how he can be so far from his teamate let alone the front cars. Yes its a bad car but it can't be that bad.
 
? maybe because rosberg and schumacher would actually race each other you mean?

are you trying to say LH and JB don't race each other? Where have you been the last two years.

They raced last weekend and they've race before. Even side by side through 3 corners.

Off the top of my head China last year lap 34 ;)
or take a look at spa when Msc took a good chunk off rosbergs car when he overtook him :D

Fixed. :)

Makes a change from having Red Bull 0.5 seconds faster than everyone else.

Would you be saying the same if the cars were red in colour?
 
Toro Rossos were quite quick in practice, are they going for the zero downforce set up again? :)
 
Alarm went off at 5:45, I thought screw this, and went back to sleep. Anything worth watching the re runs of practice for?
