Not even close, McLaren have this easily in hand, driving behind the McLarens, Rubans will probably destroy his tires enough that he will have to come in earlier than his fuel will dictate. And with the KERS he can not leapfrog them at the start and will not be able to pass them in the race.Scotracer wrote:Brawn cars are the ones to beat then.
I was merely talking about which is the fastest car.

McLaren may be a lap or two lighter to ensure their good qualifying positions, but I think they'll be pretty similar. The important thing is going to be tyre wear in the race. If Brawn are on top of their problems then maybe they've got their excellent tyre wear rates back, otherwise they could cook their tyres really quickly.hulmerist wrote:@ roost - remember both hamilton and kovi were on better laps at the end, kovi messed his up, hamilton didn't need to finish his
I was watching that and thinking, that could be Michael! The sheer thought of such dramatic failure must have caused MS his neck pain.bhallg2k wrote:Luca, Luca, Luca, Luca...
If he crashes out he will, otherwise he just wants to finish for now, like the team does.ds.raikkonen wrote:Dear lord, what a disastrous qualy for poor Luca....an italian driving for an italian team! He s gonna have a sleepless night for sure.
Good lap by Kimi in the end and by Heikki too, only if the last corner went well, LH could ve been easily P2. We ll see who makes the best out of the situation. Kimi will have something up his sleeve.
