JB once again doing a fantastic job in a very poor car. In front of both Hamilton and Perez ROFL

The Mercedes is severely tyre limited.

Verne was on a new set of hard tyres that delaminated after 2 and a bit laps.

It was the rear right, which doesn't undergo a lot of stress here either.

Thought so, keep picking up on these two making mistakes now, it's getting annoying.

Come on Webber! I want you to take out Vettel

It makes me wonder if Pirelli can even manufacture a decent tyre tbh, or whether they are just using the whole 'the FIA told us to do this' as an excuse.

You can't seriously believe that.

God this is dull. This race hasn't kept my interest at all.

Looks like Alonso got the golden sets of tyres today.

Tenzo · 12 May 2013 at 14:17

well, as a Hamilton fan this race is a bit disappointing.

Yeah. I miss the processional Schumacher victories as well. :rolleyes:

The spreadsheet guys will be comparing the uber leetness of their lookup tables later.

I don't know what to believe. I haven't seen anything to the contrary from them.

Ethermaster · 12 May 2013 at 14:18

look at the state of Kimi's front right tyre

Flibster · 12 May 2013 at 14:18

New set of hard tyres go onto Alonso's car.

16 laps on them... sounds like it could be a bit of a challenge.

ZG002 · 12 May 2013 at 14:19

Kimi on the move! But on board it looks like he is on an parade lap. Jesus Christ.

This is boring.

Pirelli could make bricks that last 2 whole races if they wanted.

You think this is the first and only time Pirelli have built tyres for racing?
The teams didn't want the tyres to change either.

DC always sounds so gutted when Alonso is winning and his team isn't.

I loved it ..... but then I am a Ferrari FAN and think of a Ferrari as a scaled version of god

Oh god, Monaco will be boring if the Mercedes lock out the front row again and nobody can get past them.

Then again, Monaco is always boring >_>

Of course he does, he won't get the bonus that's in his Red Bull contract.

It's the only way Merc will get a race win this season and to be honest, I expect other teams will jump them in the pit stops anyway.
