Australian GP 2012 - Albert Park

[myurr]

Massa's tyres have gone again, 17 laps after his first stop.

[megz]

Is Massa driving a rock? Kimi and Kobayashi shot past him like he was barely moving!

Funny how everyone was shouting about Kimi, Alonso and Vettel being absolutely ruined after quali and yet there they are all fighting those around them very hard and inside the top 10.

Humble pie anyone?

Good showing by Maldonado and Raikkonen, 7th and 8th and both with good pace.

Williams looks faster than the Mercedes at this point.

[Belatti]

This Massa kid is doing quite a good job for his first race!

[zeph]

I'm glad to see Raikkonen back in F1. I didn't realize ow much we missed him!

[Vasco]

Tyre issues for Hamilton already....taken too much out of them already?

[Ray]

Who would have guessed, about halfway through this race and almost every conclusion about this race and the various drivers chances, with the exception of the McLarens being out front, was completely wrong.

safety car go kimi

I think that next race we'll see McLaren biasing the setup more for the race. I think Red Bull and Ferrari (at least with Alonso) knew they couldn't shoot for pole so went with a race biased setup.

McLaren show they have the best pace by quite a margin at the beginning of a stint but are using up their tyres a bit more quickly.

Vettel gifted a lot by a safety car.

Vettel second ?

[Joie de vivre]

everything is working for those raging bulls ... makes me sick. fyi fia, petrov's car is way off race line

[myurr]

Vettel second ?

Yup. Safety car gave him a free pitstop ahead of Hamilton and closed the 10 second gap up to Button.

[Vasco]

Button and Vettel are pretty evenly matched in terms of race pace. Hamilton cannot live with their level of consistency in the race.

I'm quite dissapointed with MGP.
Ferrari isnt bad after all. And i'm impressed by Kimi.
