That's what I was thinking about, I am hoping that Hamilton keeps Vettel busy down the straights though.

:D :D :D :D :D Webber! Great Pole. Richly earned.

That being said.....I'm guessing Webber will make a slow start and Vettel may get either ahead or really close to Webber into T1, hopefully keeping Ham and Alonso behind. Then, one of the Red Bulls will sail into the distance.

No Turkey, 2010 please [-o< No reason for it at all. And Grosjean is down in 7th, so Webber should be ok.

this will not happen, Alonso will win and if he (and VET) DNF's then Massa will take over.

I would prefer a 1. RAI 2.HAM 3.MAS though

I predict that Webber won´t have a good start so Vettel will lead after the 1st corner.

Why are we discussing this much about team orders? I think at Monza this year Massa let Alonso pass.

I will have no problem with it when Webber wins the race and Vettel be 2nd. But let´s see.

There is a certain thing about it though. Ferrari are open about Massa being there to help Alonso, Red Bull are making everyone idiots assuring that drivers have equal treatment. It's obvious that they don't and it's been that way since Silverstone and Webber's contract.

If you choose to use the rules not everyone is agreeing with, at least be open about it, especially when you don't have the slightest intention of hiding it...

Webber is 70 points behind alonso and 66 points behind his team mate. with 5 races to go I would expect webber to move aside for Vettel even without team order.

exactly! the question is what will happen at the start....

I expect a good start by Alonso and Vettel Webber and Hamilton somehow trying to cover too much .In other words we will look into major chaos but no accident (hopefully!).
The battle for points will be hot as certainly Sauber ,di Resta and Button should or could have beeen in Q3 as well...Fireworks ahead.

great lap by Ham! He was slower than Fred in Q2, but did well in Q3..... The Bulls are clearly ahead in the quali. Let's hope it is not the case in race trim again.

Narain Karthikeyan's high-speed spin during qualifying for the Korean Grand Prix was caused by his front-right brake disc splitting in half.

"When you first come out of the pits you don't break at first," Karthikeyan told AUTOSPORT.

"I got to the third corner, touched the brakes and it [the brake disc] broke into two.

"I don't know the cause and it was a huge spin."
What the f**k, brake discs splitting in half under braking? Now this isn't good at all because he almost took out di Resta or Hulkenberg (don't remember who it was) when he lost the car. :shock:

So looking at the sector times, red bull seem to have a big advantage in sector 3, well at least over hamilton anyway, what would be the reason for this?
And also why has hamilton not done any long runs so far this weekend? makes no sense.
