Mercedes AMG F1 Team 2012

[retpog55]

Schumacher fastest after FP2 narrowly pipping Hulkenburg on the chequred flag. The force india was on the soft option tyres whereas Michael and Nico didnt run the softs which bodes well. Haug confirmed both drivers wanted to "save a set of options for practice tommorow".

Correct me if im wrong but im sure there is a new rule this year stating that if both friday sessions are declared wet then an extra set of dry tyres will be issued to the team on the Saturday to encourage more running. Autosport commentary stated red bull ran a set of soft options albeit on heavy fuel so they must have known they were going to recieve another set tommorow....

....Unless FP2 was not declared wet? Or technically Mercedes and others who didnt run any options today in theory now have 2 "extra" sets of softs to run with tommorow.....can anybody shed any light?

switched on Scumacher or just a FP fluke?
Somehow i have the feeling my predictions are not too far off this year.
JET we will have something to cheer about soon.

Hell 1 bottle of Glenmorangie down and I'm a believer marcush!

In all fairness, I have done my stats. If anyone wants to make a quick mint I have put down £4k on the pole position to be 0.150 better than 2nd place.
Be that Hamilton doing Button, or Rozy doing Schumi. If Vettel does it fair play, the bastard cost me 4k.

Rock n roll bros.

Are you aware that this fine forum enforces a strict don't drink and post policy JET?

Correct Richard?

[munudeges]

I've got my money on Merc being in the championship top three....and that's enough right now. I'm not going to drink and gamble on anything else.

A little more than a bottle of Glenmorangie should be winging its way to Geoff Willis though.

Cmon X, I'm in charge of my faculties here. Have a heart.

@Seg it is indeed enough =D>

Anyone watched MS during practice 2??

He looks far more agressive and confident than i ever saw him since his comeback...or it is just me?

I have a sneaking suspicion that both you and JET might be heading for one helluva hangover?

Q&A with Red Bull’s Sebastian Vettel

Q: There are now six world champions in the starting field. Do you rate your own chances as the best, or someone else’s?

SV: Unpredictable. It might be all of them, or none, or even someone completely different. Mercedes is definitely closer this year, so Nico (Rosberg) and Michael (Schumacher). Michael has enough titles for both of them (laughs). It could be very interesting or it could be very boring. We don’t know yet, luckily. As they say, when the flag drops the bullsh*t stops.

Haha... You gotta Love Seb! =D>

Or not

[clipsy1H]

good practice for Merc but i'm sure redbul will be in top 5 today.

[snoop1050]

redbull whiners crying about the drs wing on merc
horner said in a sky interview RBR wouldnt protest it

[Gerhard Berger]

I think Rosberg could have been challenging for pole. Pressure seemed to get to him though.
