Seb is classic. Sounds just like FA there. Cracked me up!

Alonso is correct in the interview though. Rosberg was wrong. The rules in section 20.3 state that you have to leave at least a cars width on the track approaching any corner. Just because the run off area is bigger, doesnt mean you can force a driver to drive there.

Let's keep the thread to the race at hand, and bring any discussion of events in Bahrain back to the Bahrain thread.

Ray you asked earlier about tire strategy, I have a feeling that if the track gets wet it will be for about the last 15 laps or so of Sunday I was thinking:
O-O-P INTERS
Who knows? I can’t wait for freakin' Q1

[raymondu999]

I don't know - I'm hoping for a dry race. Spain is the one race of the year which I really prefer a dry race over a wet one, just to see a proper race pace pecking order.

If it's last 15 laps though, I'd think OPP-inter would be more likely.

[Mr Alcatraz]

What about 0-0-0-inter?

[raymondu999]

Should be ok - but I doubt that would last 51 laps before a 15-lap inter switch. Remember that in the last two races people who were 3 stopping were pitting after 9-11 laps

The weather is OK. It will not rain during the weekend! I'm now on the circuit and it's a perfect day!

[Mestrades]

I'm on the circuit of Montmelo right now and the weather is perfect. Meteorological forecasts say that it will not rain during the GP. Let's see the real W03 performance...

Nobody is really trying to set a fast lap, not just yet. Ferrari seems good on heavy fuel, also the hard tire isn't too bad with degradation. I still think Hamilton is going to win this thing.

Anyone have a link to the laptimes?

[Mestrades]

The race simulations have been very slow in comparision of the tops teams. I think that Mclaren, Ferrari, RedBull and Lotus Renault are in front of us in terms of race pace. I thought I would see Schumacher on the podium at my home circuit, but this will not happen...
I'm very dissapointed. Ferrari is already above us. Mercedes is light years away in the struggle to develop the car during the championship.
