iamhe77 Posted May 17, 2010 Share Posted May 17, 2010 I loved the radio call to Hamilton when they said " can you take it easy on the front brakes" (or something to that effect) and Hamilton's reply.... "what, am I here to race them or just circulate" (sorry, probably got the quote wrong but the sentiment is right). Gold Yep, seems every race there is at least one whinging, whining radio transmission from Homo... usually about tyres though lol. He is damn quick, but doesn't seem to realise that car "management" is a major part or racing Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/300222-2010-f1-season/page/62/#findComment-5237615 Share on other sites More sharing options...
God_speed Posted May 17, 2010 Share Posted May 17, 2010 me too. I was shitting my pants for pretty much the whole thing. I couldn't believe it when there was a crash meters in front of mark 3 laps from the end! He was just unstoppable today. his usual bad luck would have seen those 2 cars completely block his path and cause him to stall it and then see seb fly past somehow. but not on this day. My feelings exactly. Seems like whenever we watch Webber trying to come good on a massive opportunity, it's almost like watching the movie Final Destination - his Murphy's Law luck seems to be a malevolent force trying to stuff him up at every turn...

Mark started off with Minardi and has rarely had a decent car between then and now.

He was just unstoppable today. his usual bad luck would have seen those 2 cars completely block his path and cause him to stall it and then see seb fly past somehow. but not on this day. I think he's finally killed off that black cat. You can only be unlucky for so long. Meanwhile all the self imposed pressure that Webz used to put himself under seems gone. He seems to realise that it may have been negatively impacting his driving...but at the moment he is comfortable, confident and enjoying it. I was shocked after he binned it in Aus how he didnt seem to be talking about missed opportuity...he just moved on!>!> Not the Webber i remember who normalky pines over spilt milk....but now seems to be looking onwards and upwards It's been noted before that winning your first race gives you a massive confidence boost. The difference now is that I think Mark is finally seeing himself not only as a race winner, but a potential champion. Even last year I don't think he felt that.

Kinks Posted May 17, 2010 Share Posted May 17, 2010 "The FIA stewards, which included his old sparring partner Damon Hill, have deemed the German breached Article 40.13 of the Sporting Regulations, which states that “if the race ends whilst the safety car is deployed it will enter the pit lane at the end of the last lap and the cars will take the chequered flag as normal without overtaking."Yes, article 40.13 makes for such exciting racing... It's almost as if the FIA want each race to be a parade. Ross Brawn's rebuttal here: I agree with Brawn. The notification was "safety car in this lap". Safety car pulled in, green flags were shown. There's nothing in 40.13 that says if it's the last lap. The safety car was not deployed, it was pulled in on the last lap ergo it's normal racing conditions and Alonso (although full points for a great recovery) can suck it.

Beer Baron Posted May 17, 2010 Share Posted May 17, 2010 yeah I think there is no question schumacher did 100% the right thing. the safety car was IN and racing resumes once you hit that lane as per the rules. he passed alonso just after they went over the line therefore the move was 100% made under 'race conditions' and in that context completely legal. at no point did race control state "we are brining the safety car in at the end of the final lap so mark can hoon over the line but in actual fact this will be considered a safety car finish even though it clearly isn't so please, no body pass anybody".... had they explained that situation things would have been different but as a driver when you see you are on lap 78/78, the safety car lights go out, you know the SC pits in before the start finish line and there is a control line after which you are racing you would then be thinking, well we are racing from that line to the start finish line. anything goes in that few hundred meters as per normal race conditions. it's pretty shit actually. MS deserved that 6th place finish, just like dirty sanchez deserved his 7th place.

dezz Posted May 17, 2010 Share Posted May 17, 2010 I'm a Ferrari man and I agree it was 100% legal. As soon as I saw that the safety car was coming in before the end of the race I was sitting here thinking I hope Alonso/Massa don't f**k it up in that last section...

Roy Posted May 17, 2010 Author Share Posted May 17, 2010 And think back to China where Seb struggled with setup until followings Marks setup and finding the speed and confidence in the car. Then the last two races it seems Webbers pace has been superior. Perhaps the RBR updates are proving a little difficult for Seb to get his head around...whilst fall right into the sweetsport for Webz?

Do-Luck Posted May 17, 2010 Share Posted May 17, 2010 We can only hope Bris. Definitely was the race of his career. Was fantastic to watch, even though the race was a little processional. I just hope he keeps handing it to Seb, because he is already burning up inside that the old man is quicker, yet can't freely admit it.

nismoman Posted May 17, 2010 Share Posted May 17, 2010 I enjoy seeing Vettel brimming with frustration at post race interviews after he has been thoroughly out driven by his team mate.
