Despite all on-track action going on during this Turkish GP, Sebastian Vettel didn't have to car too much as he kept ahead of everyone all the way through the race. Mark Webber completed a perfect race for Red Bull while Fernando Alonso secured the first podium for Ferrari this season.
Yes, and he hit the back end hard, but on replay It showed him really slam the front first.beelsebob wrote:Looking at the rear – their rear suspension is *seriously* tough.

Maybe that's why McLaren didn't do any running - looking to save wets for later in the weekend. A bit of a gamble that but it might work well should it continue to be damp under foot.beelsebob wrote:So... given that that's 1 of 3 sets of wets trashed... If we get even wet qualifying the top teams will be out of sets of wets. Let alone a wet race – anyone envisioning red flags if the race is wet, and 20 laps in no one has any tyres left.JohnsonsEvilTwin wrote:Wet weather tyres losing large amounts of tread after 5 laps.

Correct, but the full wets are beginning to go off after only 5 laps.Tazio wrote:Each team gets 3 sets of full wets and three sets of intermediates for the weekend?
Yes, but if it's truely wet, those inters aren't going to be much use.Tazio wrote:I meant to say each car gets three + three?
I've never heard anything about having them replenished.JohnsonsEvilTwin wrote:Dont they get to hand back the used wets?
Each practice session you are allowed to hand back a used set of tyres and have them replenished.

why the wires in the front wing?
The 4 wires (2 coming out of each wing pillar) are applying a current in the front wing allowing the wing to flex. Totally illegal of course...beelsebob wrote:Tensioners for managing the flexability </conspiracy>FrukostScones wrote:
