Korean GP 2010 - Yeongam

[nacho]

Lots of differences between team mates: Massa, Button and Schumi posting very slow times.

[marcush.]

why stop there?
Buemi shattered by a dj..
Senna destroyed by yamamoto san paydriver
Trulli /Kovalainen
Glock/di Grassi
...

You call it slow time ..but the three guys you mention all were posting times good enough for Q3 ....hardly slow.


this track seems to be quite selective for drivers

[donskar]

So much for all the discussion about which chassis would be best here. Regardless of the outcome of this race, or the season, Newey's Red Bull must be the car of the year IMHO.

Interesting that there's about one-tenth between first and second, then another tenth between second and third, but about three-tenths between third and fourth.

I'm pulling for Alonso, but I think a Red Bull will win -- Webber.

i do laugh at how jenson has an excuse EVERY time. he;s simply not very fast, heiki was faster over single lap. and even then on numerous occasions this yeat he's been dropped during the race by the leading pack.

7 tenths slower than your team mate, nice one.

[PNSD]

hate to break it to you but his excuse is a well known fact.
He struggles to build up and retain tyre temperature. Said it on AtlasF1 too, but even last year in some Q2 sessions he rain with more fuel than needed in order to help create more load on the tyres.

Im not making an excuse for his lack of speed, but stating a fact and explanation for his lack of speed. It's not excuse, its fact. But it's also fact that he did not get the job done today regardless, and is perhaps one of the worst qualifying efforts he's had this year (and he's had some shockers!).

The track is so bumpy i cringed at the sound of the engines when they showed an in-car camera vid. Is this the most bumpy track all year? Must be hell for the drivers.
Also what's up with the needless walls all over one part? And the dangerous pit-entry? Did that one also need a wall to add to the danger? Also the straights are fine, but the turns seem like a roller-coaster. Constant turning, motion sickness.

[Sean H]

Why are people shocked when a teammate is slower or faster? That is why teams have number 1 and number 2 drivers. It seems like people expect robots to drive this things to exactly the same lap time everytime. There is a reason why Alonso gets paid more than Massa. There is a reason why LH gets paid more than Jenson (I would assume).

It would be a story if the number 2 was as fast or faster than the 1, not the other way around.

It's just part of his list of weaknesses. This is why he needs to stop talking about it. Massa is not complaining about his tyre problems, and he's somehow managed to look as quick as Alonso on some occasions, like q1.
It's a fact he's slower becuase he's not good enough to make use of what he has. He needs the perfect car.
Anyhow, he needs to be infront of the redbulls to give Hamilton a chance of being champion.

I could see this from the beginning!
I believe heiki would be better in the race with the Mp4 25 as well. He was bad in the race is the last 2 years maybe because of inexperience or the car was difficult. But this years car is better and Heiki is learning in the Lotus. He could do well to return to mclaren if they think Button just wont cut it.


But as i said, Button needs to be ahead to push back the redbulls. Ideally i would like a Mclaren 1,2 to push back webber in the standings.

It's raining at the circuit right now

Good news ! I hope the track and/or the pits doesn't get flooded though - with the facilities being new and all...

I think Hamilton should strike back at Webber as soon as he gets the chance. Webber must cede. Otherwise he'll lose ground to both Vettel and Alonso. He knows that.

All Hamilton has to do is put a wheel inside of Webber and ask "you wanna crash, or score some points"?

Lewis has nothing to lose after this stage. Pay back time.

Im pretty sure he did just that in Singapore (ok outside not inside)...Webber was happy to risk contact and he was the one that scored the points.

I hope your right and being that bit closer will mean he will jump out the way. Im not sure I see it with Webber though

[Sean H]

I don't think Webber will change the way he races. He didn't before, why would he now?

Although I don't doubt that LH will run into somebody again, he has made a habit of it as of late.
