He has his reversing lights on – I'd say he's either doing a multi-point turn to get out, or he's trying to reverse in (hence being so close to the glass wall). If it's the latter (I'd guess it is), he's doing a damn fine job!

I did see the reverse lights.

Wasn't sure if the truck is trying to get in or out using the old in/out method.

I'd say all of the above including "he's doing a damn fine job". I would also add that he is "slicing ham".... Peter Griffen laugh..... Capice?

Ferrari's truck was trying to stand in line with the rest of the truck for it to do much maneuvering because there was hardly any space between the trucks and the glass we see in the image.

I've seen my own eyes.

I see FA is already starting to flap his lips

“I would be more than happy if last year’s misfortune was paid back now! In fact, it seems that in general so far this season, luck has not come our way: in the race in Montreal, not one damned thing went right.” – Fernando Alonso

I have to say... if there's an allocation of luck for Alonso, Hamilton and Vettel, Vettel managed to sneak into the room where it was being kept and steal it all.

What is wrong with being upset about bad luck? I'd be worried if it didn't bother him.

[raymondu999]

tbh I hate bad luck too. Is that so wrong?

I was just joking, you guys know I'm the biggest Ferrari/Alonso honk on this forum,
and yes if he would have completed his pass on Bunsen he would have also punked Kettle.
Bad luck, bum deal, just trying to illicit some anti-anything responses.
Andrew is hero btw

Each race produces it's own storyline, and I wonder what we will be talking about on Monday morning.

Although Red Bull, and specially Vettel are the combination to beat, the rest of the pack are menacing, capable of winning. Button stole the show in Montreal with his amazing heroics, I wonder who will have people wagging their tongues about in Valencia? Alonso is definitely due, he's got all the tools to make a win happen. And the invisible man, Webber has to have an impact if is he ever going to mount a serious challenge against his teammate. And although I don't believe Mercedes are there yet, it would be cool to see Michael win again, or better yet, witness Rosberg capture his first win. He is definitely due, and who knows, once you get that first win, they may start coming in droves.

The three new teams that entered the season looking pretty uncompetitive are slowly gaining pace and respect, one of them will soon finish in the points.

So far this season Vettel has displayed a calm and maturity that is truly amazing, that's one more aspect of being a complete driver that Vettel has now mastered. He did crack, although just a wee bit. Now, in the following race will he gather it all back and once again drive what appears an uneventful race to grab a huge chunk of points? Or will he drop the ball while under pressure?

I don't expect a meltdown, I expect Vettel to leave Valencia with a pile of points. But hey, who knows what will happen, that's why they race. It's one thing to babble on and on about hypothetical situations, but once the red lights go out, no more time for excuses, it's about bringing the car home in the points. So far, he talks the talk and walks the walk, and I believe it's only a matter of time before Seb Vettel joins the illustrious list of driver who have multiple WDC's.

This year it's all about Vettel, just like 2005 was all about Alonso.
