Sebastian Vettel pulled off a brilliant win at Barcelona after remaining faultless despite inpressive late pressure by Lewis Hamilton. Vettel struggled with KERS but kept his head cool without making a single mistake. Jenson Button made it to third position with a three stop strategy.
There's no doubt in my mind that Vettel is favored by RBR. Just don't feel the need to say so all the time.andrew wrote:
No mention of Red Bull favouring Vettel either!
How do you conclude he outqualified McLaren? Hamilton is still ahead of him, no?Pierce89 wrote:Fred out qualifies a Mclaren. Now, with his superior race pace, it's on baby!!
It's hard to quantify things like that, I guess.andrew wrote:I think the extent of the favouring is vastly over played though.
The one thing Fred has in his favour is that Hamilton Hamiltarded his tyre on his cool down lap.zeph wrote:How you'd conclude he outqualified McLaren? Hamilton is still ahead of him, no?Pierce89 wrote:Fred out qualifies a Mclaren. Now, with his superior race pace, it's on baby!!
I want to believe it, but I'm not so sure about that superior race pace either.

The flat spot affecting the car is overblown. Hamilton flat spotted even worse in china and still went on to overtake and to win the race.lotus7 wrote:They can't "unsquare" it though- sad thing, that flat spot will always be the vulnerable area for another lock-upandrew wrote:It is not a huge problem really (apparently).

Hamilton will probably get a better run off the line due to being on the clean side, but the Ferrari race setup could indeed be worrying.ringo wrote:The flat spot affecting the car is overblown.

The car will be ok. It wont be on the car for long either as the degradation is so bad.
Alonso is in an interesting position beside hamilton on the grid. He has one less soft tyre, but i think ferrari have the car all setup for long run and hard tyre.
Massa didn't even seem to care about q3 that much either.
Wonder what they can pull out of the bag.

Oh? Really? I don't fully understand the restrictions of parc ferme; but shouldn't that also be under parc ferme?WhiteBlue wrote:yesbomz_za wrote:Are Red Bull permitted to work/fix the KERS system other night?
