Malaysian GP 2012 - Sepang International Circuit

[Mandrake]

Rosberg really does not sound happy at 12:10 onwards.

He complains about an ongoing understeer problem.

His engineer acknowledges, says he'll be updated about what the engine is doing.

Rosberg replies "don't need/want any information on the engine, just try and fill it up please..."

Touchy, touchy.......


Most of the drivers sound unhappy though tbh, Rosberg just seemed to be getting a little personal there.

Cant be good for driver/paddock relations, especially with "The Rise of Schumacher" breathing down his neck since the end of the last season.

I think so too, Today's interview after Qualy had Kimi style, he wasn't talkative at all, especially when asked about MSC being quicker twice...he's definetly not happy about it!

Doesn't say anything about him not being able to cope with a difficult car. In fact, Webber was much slower with the hard tire, than Vettel was slower measured against Mark with mediums. In the end it's mostly down to setups and what each respective driver has chosen for the race.

That's 5 tenths between Mark's best Hard tire lap and Vettel's Q3 lap.

mark on the primes was 1 full second faster than Seb on the same tire, he wasn't on the option for that q2 lap!

Any update on the weather ?

[raymondu999]

Those watching on TV would be able to give a better update on the weather I guess.

Mike Gascoyne on Twitter: weather radar showing large shower moving towards us, reporting high probability of rain before the start of the race, will be heavy

Mark was on the hard tire in Q1 so we have to compare his fastest lap on the hard tire with vettel's fastest. 37.1 for webber, 36.6 vettel.

The sky is looking very dark. No rain yet, but expected 10mins before start.
