2012 Indian Grand Prix - Buddh

I wonder if Ferrari are going to try and shake and bake during the race to make up ground on Vettel. The RB8 seems to be dominant in the second sector on light fuel. Let's see what happens tomorrow, supposedly the race pace is equal unless RB was sandbagging.

No, shake and bake can only happen on US soil, so look for it at Austin.

Now Alonso fully expects to win the championship, 100% convinced. Those are some strong words.

Where did he say that? And I'm surprised he said that, even if he did. I'm not sure he can pull any more pull-through-the-field stunts in the race tomorrow like he did in the first half of the year when clearly the redbulls are so strong to lock the grid. The race is a different game but still it won't be easy; McLarens have made it worse by coming in between. I'm starting to see Alonso's WDC hopes slipping away.

Never say never when you have Maldonado and Grosjean in the mix.

Congratulations Vettel for a strong win in India.
To bad for Webber who got such a bad start and for Hamilton´s mechanical problem mid-way.
Also very strong drive there by Alonso taking the last step on the podium after some great opening laps.

Interesting Vettel used almost his entire keys after turn 3
It shows they have very high downforce and he used it to attain max top speed and are gaining massively in the next two sectors with this setup

He said the same thing towards the end on 2010 didn't he

[Nando]

Turn-in capabilities of the Red Bull is ridiculous. He just throws it in most of the time. Very RB7-esque.

Braking seems unreal too, how often do you see them locking the inside tire? Never really.

Not sure about S3, but they are definitely gaining at least 2-3 tenths on everyone in S2 alone.

What does that entail?

drafting each other down sector one with drs

[clipsy1H]

so ... here's my predictions for tomorrow.

top5.
1.Button
2.Hamilton
3.Kimi

like i said in other thread i feel a race with many crashes .... Vettel Schumacher Di Resta will not finish this race

[Joie de vivre]

Tomorrow is easy win for Vettel thanks to smart red bull who never gave up on development and again created a car with highest downforce. Kudos to red bull.

[WhiteBlue]

I agree that Vettel has some nice and short odds to win the race, but Alonso is not far behind at least for the betting money. If Webber Hamilton and Button fall back at the start and the first tyre change Alonso can still win this race without even a DNF by Vettel. The Ferrari is strong enough on race pace. It is the qualifying where Alonso is let down by his car. I'm expecting at least a superb exercise in damage limitation again from him. I do not think that Vettel will gain more than 10 points on him if at all.

May be old, but from Vettel Pole lap:
