Hungarian GP 2009 - Hungaroring

Alonso pitting on lap 13! Talk about buying pole.

Webber is a good bet for today's race. He's on the all-important clean side of the track.

With 32.5 kg's of fuel and a burn rate of about 2.8(?) kg's of fuel per lap, Alonso will pit somewhere between the 10th and 13th lap.

Vettel; lap 17-20

Webber; about one lap less than Vettel

Some late night pizza and I'm feeling much better...

Ugh Harrelson beat me to it...
^What burn rate are you using? 2.5 right?

what a shitty start for Vettel! Arrrgghh! Good for Webber. Hamilton much faster than Webber.

Alonso loosing a wheel due to a faulty fitted wheen nut. The wheel bouncing all over the track. This is scary looking. They need to change rules that such a car must stop!

[bjpower]

i thought the wheels were tied to the car?
or did they stop this.

[WhiteBlue]

Christ, what is Red Bull doing today? Both stops botched. Vettel going from 2nd to 11th in one stint! Arrgggggh!

are you talking about the wheel tethers? They obviously do not apply to wheels but to the suspension. So they only work when the whole suspension is torn off.

im only looking at the live timing
were they botched or just loads of fuel?

ah yes. maybe they should come up with something like the wheel covers that stay still relative to the wheel - but that could brake too

[zgred]

So race is almost over for Vettel?



Yes... :[

[WhiteBlue]

all over for Vettel. Webber is in a good position to make progress this race.

[bjpower]

from what i see he is 1 sec slower / lap to the leader

He might also receive a penalty for powersliding out of a pitstop alongside Kimi. Raikkonen, btw, is under investigation for his incident at the start.
