Korean GP 2010 - Yeongam

All I'm wondering is who will cut whom off at the drop of the flag. There are all of the championship contenders up at the front so someone or everyone is going to get cut off at the start. Maybe they'll all crash and Kobayashi will win!

I don't think Button can repeat what he did in Australia without the others following his exact moves, while driving much faster than him.
He played that card twice, and the other teams are keen on his movements.

Changing conditions could be easy to deal with as well if the teams are patient with the weather. Spa was a good example of how patience simplified the race.

Interesting thought. What if McLaren plays reverse psychology then? Use Button as a sacrifical lamb, switch to the wrong tyre, and Lewis gets a pitstop (or two, if they have to switch back to the other tyre) headstart?

today, overhere in America is a day of upsets and i wonder if that can be shipped overseas to Korea?

I was never a big MW fan until I saw this.

Q: Why was your team mate faster than you?
MW: He’s better.

... Rain was heavy throughout the night... The rubber laid by the F1 cars on Friday and Saturday has now been washed off. Asphalt oils with water will ensure a very slippery surface for the race. The rain could stop completely and sunshine emerge at about midday.

It sounds like we could see a wet start with drying track. With a change in conditions a single pit stop could be from inters to primes. But it is still not out of question that the track dries completely.

They could, but he wont like it.
I know ferrari will do that with Massa. Keep him out then hold up the redbulls, so alonso can reel them in.
IMO mclaren should have favoured Lewis a long time ago.
Even today they cost him a front row or p3 start with the q3 strategy. Button got the favoured strategy because he was slow and they wanted to give him as much help as possible. They rather give button the good stuff to bring him closer to Lewis, when Lewis could use the very same thing to get closer to the redbulls.

What I am talking about is having Button come out last behind Hamilton for the last q3 run. Common sense says the track will be more rubbered in for the last guy out. This is why Button went last. He knows what he is doing and Mclaren allow him that advantage instead of giving it to Hamilton. there was no way he would have made up 7 tenths with the evolving track advantage. Lewis however could have made 2 tenths with it.
The track developes so quickly, having Lewis out the same time as Vettel may have helped Mclaren get on the front row, who knows.

Let's see if this continues in Brazil or during the race. Will the slower teammate get his demands for equality.

A crash the start of the race at turn 2 in the Hyundai Cup race meant the entire race was run under the Safety Car as marshals worked on clearing the track.

As of right now, the track is most definitely wet. I can't see whether it's still raining, but the track is wet, not just damp, and Danish commentators are talking about the possibility of the race starting behind the safety car.

[WhiteBlue]

At the moment it is not raining.

[univex]

Another band of rain coming in15-20mins, will be continous rain and last for at least 30mins
