Turkish GP 2010 - Istanbul Park

[roost89]

We just get the information that Vettel had a broken right rear stabilizer.

Do you think that would explain the front left wheel lifting when doing a left-hand corner in the latter stages of the laps? Seemingly hard front and soft rear suspension.

It is completely logical that the left front is in the air when the right rear suspension is damaged! I bet my old tennis shoe that Vettel would have beaten Mark in an undamaged car.

The teams were making a big point about the dirty side for tomorrow.

What side of the track is p1 on?

Just wondering if we can expect to see P3, P5 and P7 make a place into the first corner.

[The Local Ride]

Pole is on the right hand side of the track when looking at the first corner. BBC were saying that The Turkish GP is the only proper racing on the tarmac all year.

Turkey is anti clockwise.

The even positions are on the dirty side. Watch out for Vettel, Schumacher and Kubica making places.

I predict that Alonso will not make many places tomorrow as fast as he did in Monaco against the new team drivers.

what is a right rear stabilizer???

Vettel beats Webber again in Q2! This is the new standard in all sessions.

Seemingly good decision again backfired for McLaren. Told Button to let Schumacher past to be the last car on the track only to have his lap ruined by the yellow flags.

Yes definately. If the rear ARB (or stbiliser) is not working, more load transfer is shifted to the front. This will lift the front wheels for sure. It really looked like this was happening.

I'm using the German term from the Sky broadcast. I guess they mean a broken damper or the connecting rod to the damper collapsing the right rear suspension.

Vettel would have been at least 3 tenths quicker, looking back before he had the problem. But that's how the cookie crumbles. Let's see what Webber can do with the pressure coming from Lewis. It's not going to be pretty between the 2 of them, it's gonna be a long race.

make that six tenth and you be ok.

Red Bull need to get a handle on Vettel's consistent brake issues. Vettel is being far too aggressive in corners with the amount of lateral movement he's giving it and Webber isn't far behind. That Red Bull should have been further ahead.

Hamilton is clearly the best driver out there, THE BOSS is the best. P2 is still a liability, he needs to get a great start, something he has struggled with sometimes in his career.

Too bad Vettle broke... but that seems to happen alot... man he was mad at the press conference.

There should be some type of grid penalty for going off and messing up everyone's hot lap like MS did, its almost like Rascassegate again. Not saying he did it on purpose but he may have gain an advantage from it... plus he doesnt have to start on the tires he destroyed.

Renault have definatly improved, Petrov is evidence of that.

Massa still a little dissapointing behind the Mercs & Bob... butmaybe Ferrari is falling back fast.

Kobay shining again in Qually... Pedro is done, he needs to go, he is wasting a seat on the grid, di Resta could be doing better.

Alonso with another mistake, his rep is taking a beating lately... lets see if he can pass this weekend or if he'll shaking his fist at Sutil & Kobay.

Luizzi was running the F-duct system & new rear wing and it seems the team could not get a handle on it and it cost him.

I'm calling bull sh!t on this. Neither Webber's, Hamilton's, Vettel's nor Rosberg's hot laps were affected. Button's probably was but that is the risk of racing.
