So are they running kers or not? Seems a bt daft not to show on board pics of red bull's

You saying that without the kers they would be faster? They tested it in practise so I cannot believe that they would run it if it wasn't faster for them.

30 secs to go and only 4 cars have set a lap!

You need KERS here, so yes I'm saying they could be faster without it, but they need it in the race.

Vettel, Hamilton, Webber, Button.

With them being that close DRS is gonig to be VERY interesting this weekend!

It would be great/hilarious if DRS means a different leader almost every lap with these 4 all over taking each other constantly.... don't quite see it but would be brilliant.

Poor Ferrari.

Hastarius · 9 Apr 2011 at 10:09

Yeah it's going to be a brilliant race. Hope Hamilton can get off the line quicker then Vettel and I believe Button can take Webber

laughs at where name kinky kylie comes from

That Merc engine has way to much grunt,think we should put a complaint into the FIA

Great lap, but at least mclaren are matching them, at least on this track.

If Mclaren get their new exhaust system working then that's another second.

He's got a point though. Very tightly packaged rear end. Oh yes.

Red Bulls were running KERS - confirmed by Horner.

i love how bemused they all are that MSC hasn't made it.

He can't cheat anymore and he's getting old. Its no surprise for me

He doesn't have the best car and a no.2 team mate anymore, if Red Bull continue dominating for 7 years Vettel will match his record even though many would class Hamilton and Alonso as better drivers.

Oh, you mean if no one had it they would be further ahead than with everyone having it?

Just trying to find speed trap info but this machine is misbehaving :mad:

Glaucus · 9 Apr 2011 at 10:11

Yep where RBR have perfected last years car, so gains will come slowly. There deffintaley seems to be a thought that the mclaren has untapped potential. Time will tell.

I'm saying over a single lap there car might be significantly faster without kers, but due to circuit feel they have to run it for the race.

Yep, many think the McLaren has a lot more to give.

Still can't get Coulthard's "point and squirt" comment out of my mind :s
