best sector times
Making turn 1 similar to copse would destroy it as an overtaking zone – yes we've seen one or two into copse, but it's hardly a popular place, is it?beelsebob wrote:Care to elaborate on what features are awful? Personally, what I see as good is that the first sector will provide great overtaking tomorrow, and the second and third sectors are immensely technical and we've seen all sorts of people getting it very very wrong there. What's so bad about it?WilliamsF1 wrote:Most drivers are singing their corporate song more than usual at India.

Was expecting turn 1 and 13 to be equal to copse corner at silverstone, 11 and 12 to be maggotts and beckettsbeelsebob wrote:Uhhh, Sectors 2 and 3 are pretty much entirely made of fast sweepers...WilliamsF1 wrote:Pathetic circuit layout wise. Absolutely no fast open corners, could be said as the worst of Tilkedromes.
a. I second that thought. I haven't seen so much sliding since the X-Games.WilliamsF1 wrote:Pathetic circuit layout wise.

Yeah I got the numbering wrongraymondu999 wrote:Turn 12 is a nothing corner on the exit of 11. Do you mean Turn 13/14?
There's definitely a big anomaly on his KERS for that lap. It didn't appear to reset across the line but reset later in the lap - but only after he had definitely used it a bit. Potentially he gained from that. Hopefully the stewards will investigate and make sure that he did not deploy KERS for more than the prescribed period of time for that lap.beelsebob wrote:TV bug, or did Vettel have a KERS-cheattastic lap?

Watch the KERS meter at the start of the lap.
On his quick lap he did make up a lot of time in the first sector over his second fastest.
Not that it would make any difference to the outcome of course, but interesting all the same.myurr wrote:There's definitely a big anomaly on his KERS for that lap.

Unless the team breached the rules. Hamilton didn't gain anything from his infraction in FP1 and yet he got a grid penalty for that.beelsebob wrote:Not that it would make any difference to the outcome of course, but interesting all the same.myurr wrote:There's definitely a big anomaly on his KERS for that lap.

How unexpecting...beelsebob wrote:In other news – Karthikayen gets a 5 place grid drop for impeding Schumacher.
Schumacher gets no penalty for impeding Hamilton.
Quite unexpecting either, and this one is even more dangerous.Button gets no penalty for doing his hot lap while Massa crashed.
Although this is understandable, again shows the stewards not following the rules.Tim'o'glock may race despite not setting a time within 107% due to that being caused by mechanical failure.
