I really doubt that he didn't get to drive a single lap on simulator. He was great in Turkey the first year, but he used simulator then, why wouldn't he use it now?

How do you know he hasn't done any lap on the simulator?

Horner and Newey weren't happy at all :!:

Regarding the simulator situation with Raikkonen, I think it might be based off the fact that Grosjean has only mentioned videogame practice for this track. Since they might not have it programmed into the simulator, it has to be the same situation for both drivers.

As I understand it, he didnt want to. He thought it was a waste of time and he does his learning on the track, three FPs. Thats enough, he said. If im not mistaken.

I wonder if Ferrari can make Massa run a very LONG stint in the race where he preserves the tyres in the first laps of the stint, and when front runners pit and fall behind, hold them a bit :wink: That would make things interesting.

Only possible if Mark doesn't botch up another start. It is not looking so good for Sebastian on the dirty side. It is exceptionally dirty here in Korea. He could be caught by Hamilton. The start has a bit of a chance for mayhem in the first two rows already. Only good thing is that Alonso will also start on the dirty side.

I have a suspicion that if Webber received team orders he will refuse. It might be interesting.

Cool... He definitely forgot nothing in these 2 years, fortunately for us! :D
