From F1.com

"Formula One is a great show," says Red Bull’s Sebastian Vettel, who has recently lost significant ground to fellow title-contending team mate Mark Webber after making two serious mistakes. "If everything goes well, you are the greatest. If you make an error, and some people simply do not understand exactly the reasons why, then you very fast become the idiot. The most important thing, therefore, is that I know the truth myself.

Yep, which one is it then?

[Marlin]

HAHA, that is GOLD!

At least he now knows "everyone" thinks he's an idiot

[GTR-N1]

for the lulz

Very good!

Def no more than 650

I've heard it pretty widely circulated that mid 700's is where its at with the Merc engine probably the pick of the litter, getting up towards 800, this is however BHP I assume.

Back a few years ago I believe it was the Honda that was the pick of the v10's early on, quite high 900's being the given figure.

Ah, No worries dude yeah definitely no more then 650 for V8 Supercar, possibly up from the old high 500's low 600's figure due to the Ethanol they run these days.

F1's quite a bit up and down over the decades due to the FIA dicking the technical regulations every 3 or so years to artificially re zero the competitive ladder.

Change in displacements, cylinder count, number of valves per cylinder, control fuel and temperatures fixing the internal geometry of the engines etc has taken alot of the gloss from the sport for us engineering folk.

looks weird... no f-duct

[sh@un]

Will be interesting to see which config they turn up to quali with

[wolverine]

Hamo no F-duct and Button with one I understand.

[wolverine]

I'll be stuffed, I thought LH had plenty up his sleeve.

I am guessing with fuel on board it must feel better balanced to him.

SV off the pace for the latter part or quali so I wonder what his issue is with the car.

[lmanion]

SV probably stuffed his car on the kerbs.... well we can hope anyway.

At least Webber jumped Hamilton so he isnt on the same row as Vetool.

[ctjet]

hammo and those torro rossos are going to be deadly if they end up anywhere near you ass before a straight

[wolverine]

One of the RBR cars might be a little dangerous if he is on your ass, just ask JB.

[DRD-00F]

woot! hamilton is out!

[dezz]

Later Hamilton. Webber will love that

Just need the Ferraris to do Button on the straight...

[Duncan]

meh webbers not going to get any points either.

he is unmatched in ability to go backwards from his qualifying position.....must have more reverse gears than forward

[ctjet]

dissappointing

red bull i would say now almost certain to do both c'ships. sort of takes the fun out of the rest of the year

thanks for nothing yet again monza. worst track ever

surely something interesting must happen during the race this year.
