Hamilton to Vettel after quali - "Too easy man, too easy". Vettel smiles back.
Nice moment.
I was thinking a KERS related reason. Maybe they wanted to make sure the car was discharged?CHT wrote:Any idea why Vettel took such a long time to get out of the car? Is he trying to hide something?
The gap is back to normal now, certainly Malaysia was an anomaly. Season over if you ask me!MikeFromCanada wrote:I was thinking a KERS related reason.

It looks like the Red Bulls do a much better job maintaining heat in these Pirelli tires. Would somewhat explain the large performance difference in the cooler temperatures of Australia and China.

Come on.... Tell us what you really think about him!mx_tifosi wrote:Is Vettel's "waiting to get the thumbs up to get out of the car" bogus? His wry smile smells of Lie Pie.
I don't think Vettel was telling the truth due to the Chesire Cat grin he had on his face, but it couldn't have been because of KERS. If KERS was the problem Button could have been zapped really badly. Something else was up and they aren't going to say obviously, I've not heard that 'rule' from any other driver and I've not seen any other driver just hang out in the car for that long.MikeFromCanada wrote:I was thinking a KERS related reason.

Probably. Only hope is that other teams have major upgrades when we return to Europe, but looks like Vettel will run away with this.n smikle wrote:The gap is back to normal now, certainly Malaysia was an anomaly.
