^ You just had to rub it in, don't you?

Anyway, Massa seems to be continuing his 'interfering' with Fernando's title conquest this season. Outqualified 2-0 for now. What are the chances he loses his seat because of this, though?

 

[Thierry Henry]

^ Ferrari needs to quit with that one driver favoritism mentality, they need to realize that Massa is in form again. Besides winning the Constructors Championship is more important than the Drivers Championship. Ferrari has the car and drivers to do that this year, and it would be petty if Massa loses his seat because of out-qualifying Alonso.


JB in 7th and CP in 9th


What's up with Maldonado, he's not looking good :x

 

[Sinner]

Massa's been on good form, but what counts is the race. You wouldn't dare bet against Nando vs Felipe on Sunday.

Believe it or not JB and Checo's Q went reasonably well.  The McLaren has definitely improved. During Q1 and Q1, in the dry, JB actually set some reasonably good times. It was the rain that made it tricky for them.  Unfortunately, it looks like it's gonna be a wet race.  

 

[zk1mpls]

Yeah, but Felipe was clearly upset with what the team did to him in the last race. Oh well. I hope they work it out.

Maldonado admittedly doesn't have a good car right now. He's been very vocal about it.

I just hope we get the full race distance. Always liked the unnerving, unpredictable races that have sporadic intervals of rain and then suddenly has a drying line towards the end so there's a scramble to the finish.

 

[Thierry Henry]

It's 4 AM over here, but **** it. I might as well watch the race live since I couldn't fall asleep :\

Edit~Alonso

 

[VinMillerHearn58]

Alonso's day is done. Front wing just blew out.

 

[Thierry Henry]

^he should have pitted

 

[VinMillerHearn58]

^he should have pitted

Yeah, it was a bad gamble on his part.


My dude Hamilton went to the wrong pits. Ended up in his old McLaren pit.

 

[zk1mpls]

Fernando.

Lewis

 

[Thierry Henry]

@ Hamilton going into the McLaren pit

 

[zk1mpls]

Yeah, it was a bad gamble on his part.


My dude Hamilton went to the wrong pits. Ended up in his old McLaren pit.

Was probably gambling on holding onto changing the wing until he can change to slicks. :\

 

[VinMillerHearn58]

I didn't get to see the whole thing, but I saw the replay of a car leaving the pit and one car coming in and they hit, who was it?

 

[zk1mpls]

I think it was between a Toro Rosso and a Caterham

 

[zk1mpls]

That's it... switching over to Sky Sports F1. ESPN Star just has too many commercials.

Sky should offer a package for the season for International viewers.

 

[VinMillerHearn58]

Hamilton and Rosberg creeping up

 

[zk1mpls]

Come on Mark!

 

[VinMillerHearn58]

WOW! Force India having all kinds of trouble with the removal of the tire.

He's still sitting there. :x

 

[zk1mpls]

Another Force India pitstop problem. Just ruined Paul di Resta's race.

Lewis getting it right this time around.

They're still having trouble with the same tire.

Di Resta retiring from the race.

 

[zk1mpls]

Gap to the Bulls coming down... Come on Lewis!

 

[zk1mpls]

Sebastian.

 

[zk1mpls]

Appalling race for Force India. Both drivers were quick, too. |I

 

[VinMillerHearn58]

Both cars for Force India out of the race.

Did Vettel just say Webber is going to slow?

 

[Thierry Henry]

Welp. that's it for Force India
