H2 Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 Exciting from 2nd downwards perhaps ;-) Well 2nd to 5th at least, and Schumi failing to reach top 10, Rosberg still faster than the old guy Massa not at the races, Di Resta did well - looking forward to the race, and have a sneaky feeling you are too!

Guest juvehearts Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 That was an excellent save by Sutil. F1 drivers usually hit the accelerator when spinning out rather than the brakes so as to spin the car. Madness. Good to see Di Resta outqualify Sutil. To be fair though if Sutil hadn't spun he'd be behind him rather than in front. Looking forward to the race. his was adjusting the rear wing when he hit the accelerator pedal as he came off the apex, got to say this wont be the only time this happens possibly this race. i think red bull are quickest but tyre management is the key here with seb vettel & hamilton starting on the option anything is possible what about hispancia racing then!!!!!

Today was the first time they actually put the new car out on the track wasn't it? They only did an out lap in practice on Friday and hadn't taken part in any of the testing. Can't really understand what the point is myself, feel sorry for Liuzzi, he should be in a much better team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is interesting is the red bulls kers system, it is widely believed that it will only work off the line as they dont have a recharging system, but it means they can have better weight distribution Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember that taking kers out of the car can also have massive advantages in terms of weight distribution and cooling- the main advantage of kers is at the start but the straight is too short in aus and the mclaren were on the dirty side...

Bert Le Clos Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 What won it for Vettel was his start. He was over 2.4 seconds ahead after the first lap, and Hamilton wasn't really scrapping for 2nd after the first corner. Hamilton then lapped roughly the same speed as Vettel until his car started to fall apart, why was Vettel so much quicker to start? Did he then ease of knowing he had a good lead to save his tyres? Doesn't sound like him to me. I still think Button will feature heavily in this title challenge. Out of all the drivers he knows how to save tyres without losing too much time which I think will be a huge factor this season. He was unlucky to get stuck behing Massa who looks so poor yet defends well. If he'd stayed in 4th from the start he might have run the leaders much, much closer. The opposite seems to go for Webber. He has the pace to match the best, but gets through his tyres far quicker. He's a much bigger guy than most which will add to his problems. On todays showing, it's Vettel well clear of Hamilton in 2nd, with Button and Alonso fighting for 4th. I think Webber will have to battle for 5th with a couple of surprise packages. Could be another good one, especially if McLaren make another significant improvement to their car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingantti1874 Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 Hamilton started from the dirty side of the track, well known problem at Melbourne that that side of the track has significantly less traction, hence some wheel spin and he couldn't get on the kers early enough - nearly lost 2nd to webber... Rb need to get kers working for sepang, run up to first corner is much further and no dirty side of track, any cars not running kers will be toast into the first corner at least... Doesn't mean to say they will be slower in race but massive disadvantage on lap 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Currahee! Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 Excellent race today. The Red Bulls really are impressive. Vettel is nearly a race win ahead on points against 2nd placed Button.

kingantti1874 Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 Cant stan vettel or RBR- he does my head in, it was won at the start, Hamilton getting stuck behind heidfeld left him to far back and he raped his tyres constantly being out of position... Im still a bit confused as vettel changed direction 3 times to block Hamilton off the line... Your only supposed to be able to change direction once to block an overtaking car Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Currahee! Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 Webber didn't half get in wrong today. Why didn't they send him out on the softs?
