Sebastian Vettel has dominantly won the Brazilian GP at Interlagos after taking the lead in the first corner. Mark Webber completed Red Bull's 1-2 and the team secured their first constructor's championship. Fernando Alonso is third, staying ahead in the driver's championship.
Is that all MW has to do? a 1st and 2nd? That should be easy for the guy who hasn't won a race in 3 months.ringo wrote:Nope, webber has this in the bag.
If alonso can only muster 3rd place in every race, while webber comes first in at least 1 and second in the other, Webber's fine. Vettel just has to humble himself and let webber take this.
So far the redbull looks comfortably dominant.
Mclaren has more i feel. I think they're about equal with the ferrari albeit slightly slower.
I guess that says that Renault isn't a good place for a young driver to mature... lol.timbo wrote:Koboyashi crashed in the same exact place too. So it might be bad luck.Kriss wrote:Petrov once again
Anybody can say me what Petrov doing in Formula1?
Time to say Good Bye Vitaly.
But actually I think we can see a trend here — Piquet came to Renault showing quite a few promises, it seemed like he progressed but suddenly came to stall, Grosjean too, now Petrov seemed like making quite a steady progress and then suddenly lost it.
Maybe it is Renault (at least to some extend) and not those guys?

The Monza engine won't do Abu Dhabi since it has higher mileage and has been stressed higher. They wouldn't want to use it in this race never mind both of the last two races, if indeed they do decide to use it. They'll use the engine they changed after Bahrain that they couldn't use for reasons I'd explained. Can't remember what the engine number was, but it's certainly the only engine they have that has low mileage.Gerhard Berger wrote:Not sure what you're talking about. I was referring to engine #8 (the one that did Monza). I never mentioned anything about the Bahrain engines.
I don't think you understand. There will be statistical variances around it as I'd said, which means that Ferrari don't want to be using an engine anywhere close to its mileage limit if there's a definite cutoff window. The engine is a large worry this weekend.Well an engine expiring on the button is not worry. If it was expiring earlier than expected, then that would be a worry. However, that is not the case.
The Bahrain qualifying unit (engine #1) expired way back in China FP. The Bahrain race unit (engine #2) expired today. Obviously, neither can be used again. The Monza engine doesn't have a particularly high mileage (it's only done one race) though yes it has been put under alot of stress in that race. Ferrari don't really have an option though, all the other engines have done 3 races.segedunum wrote: The Monza engine won't do Abu Dhabi since it has higher mileage and has been stressed higher.

The Monza engine isn't anywhere close to its mileage limit, so it's irrelevent. The engine is a large worry this weekend? So you think an engine can not last 2 races? In that case, i guess the engine is a large worry for the Red Bulls and the Mclarens this weekend.I don't think you understand.

The Pawn always goes out first to test the waters. He lays down the rubber for the king then his services are no longer needed.andrew wrote:Actually the real knig had a catastrophic failure of the propulsion device. Everything else behind was inherited.
.Extreme patriotism, taking their own opinion as Gospel and belittling opposing opinions due to deep routed self belief I suspect. But I guess it is easy to get carried away at times on threads like these.FrukostScones wrote:Why was WB suspened???
Barrichello: ... People ask me if I have known the circuit forever and you have got to remember when I raced Formula Fords here I raced on the old circuit. It was the last year of the older one and I am so proud to have done that as it has been such a long and nice one.
Senna: It has been a long time, huh?
Barrichello: Yeah, it was. You were probably not born, you bastard. But anyway in a way I raced here from Formula Three in 1990 or something. I had one race and then I came into Formula One, so all I know about this circuit is in a Formula One car. It is very, very special. It has been bumpy sometimes in the past but now I think it is all done. It is a nice circuit. I can read that people like coming here. Racing is very, very alive because of the nature of the straight with tiny bits of bends that makes it draggy and you have a chance to have a slipstream, so it is a very special race.

It's from F1 Fanatic. In almost all cases, especially for the top teams, the ultimate laps are from sector times on the same runs, i.e., low fuel and soft tires. There is often only one run on this qualy setup so the fastest sectors come from this.Caito wrote:Univex, what's the sense of that? It would be logical to analyze that if there are no setup changes. But if you change your setup to improve in a sector to the detriment of another one, your "ultimate lap" will be better than others'
