wolverine Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 I still have a major question mark over RBR with their tyre strategy. When Button lit up the timing screens with fastest sector times RBR should have pulled in one of their two drivers to cover.

scarface_au Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 I still have a major question mark over RBR with their tyre strategy. When Button lit up the timing screens with fastest sector times RBR should have pulled in one of their two drivers to cover. They claim that the car was working alright on the inters but seriously.... Button was lucky, I was surprised he went so well on the slicks. I've seen so many bugger up that call, and with more rain in the area it could have seriously bitten him on the arse. Nonetheless I would have thought as soon as someone sets a purple sector on slicks, you should call in both drivers, even queue them if necessary. Tyre stops are so quick now Webber might have been better off following Vettel into the lane. Better still would have been pitting a lap before ...

Roy Posted March 29, 2010 Author Share Posted March 29, 2010 There were radio calls more rain in 10minutes, so can understand why if you are up the front you give it a lap or two to see what the conditions were doing.

Beer Baron Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 If it bwasnt for Webs anf Homoton then it would have been a snorefest. Even with the variable weather. Schuey has some work to do agreed. webber passed massa 3 bloody times! poor strategy and a few little fkups cost him any chance of a good finish. Lewis showed amazing skill and judgement when he drove right up the ass of Alonso in was it Bahrain in 2008? To the point where everyone was screaming murder and Alonso had brake tested Lewis....only when Alonso said rubbish and pulled the data it showed that Lewis was jsut a retard who drove straight into the back of a car he was following on a straight, wasnt even under brakes. As others have said, driving into the back of a car in pitlane! I love how people are attacking Webber. Two of the last WDCs drive into people all the time. Remember Kimi punting Force Indias and STRs for sport. The second move today was clumsy, but thats what happens when two cars lose mid corner speed and you lose front aero. I watched the ESPN coverage which has Alex Yoong and Gary Anderson...as opposed to the BBC coverage the commentary is nowhere near as biased...and they both claimed racing incident. They actually said the earlier braking dual was silly by Webber being on the inside slippery line and soudl have known to give up the fight in the interest of not compromising his overall race strategy . But the clash was a straight up racing incident. Gary Anderson actually said Webber had to run the risk of crowding himself with Alonso and Hamilton...two laps to go and everything to gain...hero or zero time and was just one of those things. couldn't agree more. webber is no worse than any of the guys who get applauded for having the 'balls' to try the shifty moves. sometimes they pay off, sometimes they don't. I've never seen him do anything really bad though like vettel rear ending him that time in japan under safety car, or farking lewis driving into the back of alonso or the time kimi got nurfed sitting at the red light in pit lane... yeah really it was hamilton who fked HIS move which then meant webber arrived there a bit hot with cars where he hadn't expected them, lost front downforce, had no chance of turning in and no where to go. and he came off the worse of the two as well... Secondly, did Lewis stumble across a deamon front wing tweak after damaging it in that awesome overtaking manouver? Whats the best the McLaren aero guys kinda wandered off tto the back of the pits after Lewis was so quick with "damage". I was thinking the same thing! the mac looked glued to the track with his front wing flapping around... hmm active aero anyone? deformable wing structure. it certainly wasn't costing him any pace. I thought for sure he'd have to pit to fix it when that big chunk flew off and it started flexing but it certainly didn't cost him... he might have to wipe bits of his wing off on other cars at every race. Turns out Webber does have a redeeming feature; He's described Victoria as a 'nanny-state' I know, I saw it in the SMH today. finally someone has the balls to say it like it is. I mean an F1 driver doing a little smoke show for the fans at the exit to an F1 track. really who gives a shit. does that really warrant confiscating the car (not like it affects lewis at all) and fining the bloke and f**king him around for a few hours? I don't think so. Surely there was some ACTUAL CRIMES being committed somewhere they could have been attending to in that time... I still have a major question mark over RBR with their tyre strategy. When Button lit up the timing screens with fastest sector times RBR should have pulled in one of their two drivers to cover. They claim that the car was working alright on the inters but seriously.... yeah the strategy was a bit lame. I knew webber was fked when they bought in vettel and made webs stay out another lap. still that's what you get for not taking pole mark. had he been in front he could have made the call. am I the only one who thought it pretty good webber was able to pass massa etc. I'm surprised the RBR can pass anyone given how far down they are on straight line speed. good to see webber get the fastest lap too. well done. oh, and I cleaned up nicely on button. I put some dough on him at odds of 13:1. I thought at that money he was a good bet. still a very lucky result for him. sadly I had some cash on webber too, but my button win more than covers that lot.

Hamilton clipped Massa (think it was Massa) when he passed him on the straight, hence the f**ked wing. Good judgement..

Leif Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 It seems like Massa is the forgotten driver at the moment, so much hype around Alonso I guess! Not a lot has been said about him, but I think he should hold his head high with two podiums in the first two races. Good luck to him. And maybe "HRT" should give Garth Tander a drive. He might have a bit more success than Chandhok Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/300222-2010-f1-season/page/30/#findComment-5156709 Share on other sites More sharing options...
