So vettle will probably run off in the distance. The only hope for thi race is for Webber to get infront on turn 1,

What time does the race finish? I need to go to stoke game witch its stupid 2PM KO

What's the magic paddle business about?

Wasn't that just for the flap control? DC said that anyway, I kind of fell asleep so I could have just made that up.

From what i've read, the flap latches the DRS open and also switches to a totally maximum engine mode.. Think it was Scarbs who said it on his twitter account.

As for MSc, anyone that thinks he's actually having fun knows nothing of the man. One of the most ruthless win at all costs drivers of all time. There's no way in hell he's having fun being picked apart win in week out by a team mate 10 years ago he would have crushed into insignificance.

My thoughts exactly.

In general, people don't change and if you have an ultra competitive personality (which MSc has), being beaten by 1s in qualifying will not be an easy thing for him to take.

Last year, his excuse for getting beaten by his team-mate was that he had been out of F1 for 3 years and that next year, he would be competitive, right from the get-go.

Well, 3.5 races in, exactly the same pattern which was seen in 2010 is being repeated.

It's about time Schumacher realised he's too old and should retire gracefully.

Why? He is doing something he loves.

I can understand his "confusion". 1 second is a big gap to a team mate.

Glaucus · 8 May 2011 at 11:16

This is torture, tick tock, tick tock.. Oh well at least I'm nothing over like I expected.

Mr_White · 8 May 2011 at 11:18

Got bored waiting for the race

I'm aware the D is missing, but DC also called him highfield yesterday

Brawn thinks it may have been due to MSc going wide in Turn 1 and getting his tyres dirty.

He certainly can go faster, he went 7 tenths faster in free practice with more fuel on board.

I guess we will just have to wait and see what he can do in the race. Whichever way you look at it, he is not the MSC that we once knew.

He'd have looked better staying retired knowing he's achieved what no one else ever will, 7 world championships. Frankly, he's a bit of an embarrassment to himself now.
