Spanish Grand Prix 2010, Circuit de Catalunya - Race 5/19

[JamesM]

Is anyone else bored silly of Eddie Jordan? I'm sure he could have done much better if he was in place of Hulkenberg!

 

[Flibster]

Hang on! Cosworth have provided an engine upgrade for this race?

Nice, so the engine freeze now only applies to Mercedes?

what have i missed in fp2?

turned on to replays or what looks like webber and alonso losing parts of the diffuser over one of the kurbs.

 

[PinkFloyd]

That intake on the Merc looks great!

 

[Malt_Vinegar]

Could they be talking about a software map?

 

[deuse]

I like EJ and he is way better then DC who I think is sooo biased when it comes to RB racing.

 

[SoliD]

I actually think that white square reminds me of Marlboro more than the barcode!

The RedBulls are in absolutely scintilating form. currently occupying 1st and 2nd place.

On a dry track, how are the rest going to beat them?

Grrrrr I cant load BBC's website.. this might sound odd but can someone paste the updates here in a post for me?

I don't think their(RB) tires will last as long as Button or Telfonso\Massa.
Also has anyone noticed that the RB front left wheel takes some force to get off when they do pit?

schumacher should just quit and claim neck pains , let heidfield take over hes bound to do a better job

1. Vettel
2. Webber
3. MS (hurrah!!!)

MS is showing some good consistency now and once again has outperformed Rosberg (which is the main thing).

 

[.Lethal]

Have to admit I am happy for MS. I wasn't a big fan of his over the 90s/00s but there have been times I've been in his favour.

I wanted him to beat Alonso in the last year before he retired

 

[sunama]

Same here.

But, Alonso was the new kid on the block and it was probably just as well he did beat MS before he left. Effectively, the torch had been handed over from MS to Alonso, when Alonso beat MS in 2005/6.

We need to wait and see how MS performs in qualifying tomorrow and in the race, compared with Rosberg.

Heh. Funny guy.

For the last two thirds of his career Heidfeld was a lacklustre performer at best. Always underacheiving and never pushing or leading his team onward.

I'd have an underperforming Schumacher over him in my team any day of the week.

The Red Bulls look very fast in the second practice session, I think it's a tossup between them and McLaren for pole tomorrow.

 

[utajoker]

i think red bulls look so fast because they did their flying laps at the end of the session were as ferrari and mclaren did theirs much earlier on. red bulls got a more rubbered in track. not taking away from their speed but i dont think they are faster by how much it looked.

Well, Adrian Newey reckoned that Mercedes had done some dev work despite the freeze....so I guess it actually applies to no-one!

Based on the races so far and what i saw in the 2nd practise session, unless it rains, RedBull should occupy the front row.

Anybody who pulls up the replays on the red button, can you let me know if you can get it to go full screen? I currently have it kinda windowed on the left side with a menu on the right. It's annoying me!
