:shitwine: Posted March 24, 2012 Author Share Posted March 24, 2012 Hamilton leads McLaren 1-2. 3rd for Schumacher is excellent. Vettel languishing in 6th. EDIT - forgot that Kimi had a grid penalty - Vettel will be 5th. Still not great, especially compared to last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Currahee! Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 The midfield times are really close. Should make for an excellent race. Especially since Kobiyashi is starting 16th. Massa is struggling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tazio Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 My predictions look a bit off again. Which is odd as I'm a self confessed expert on F1. I'm gonna keep going with my weekly predictions of Alonso for most places gained though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Currahee! Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 I've been up for an hour thinking the race was going to start. Its a lovely day though. Hope the race is a good. Hope di Resta gets into the points again. Rain looking good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bert Le Clos Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 He's a bit out of order, but I can see where he's coming from. Karthikayen shouldn't be making it complicated to be lapped, and the HRT's probably shouldn't be on the track. Vettel passed him, then turned in too early. Whether or not Karthakayen should have made it easier for him to pass is irrelevant. Vettel had passed, and made a basic, basic error. I agree with your point about the HRT's, but Vettel needs to learn to admit when he's in the wrong. He's done it before, and like Hamilton when everything's going for them they are the nicest guys going. But when things go badly, even when it's their fault they act like petulant children. I far prefer Button and Webber who maybe aren't as talented but can at least admit when they are at fault. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mir00005 Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 Excellent to see Di Resta picking up points again and showing that he is a great driver. Clearly one of the bigger teams will be after him if he keeps this up, maybe even Sauber Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
