SV: I think it’s looking good. We are Red Bull, we are in a unique position again this year and we are horny - can you say that in English or does it not make too much sense?

Kubica did a great job...bit i was equally impressed with how Webber got on with it and was overtaking cars on the quicker tyres. I was impressed hpw he cut some nice moves on Glock, Kobayashi & Schuey

Agreed. MW looked hungry...

how the hell didn't that tyre deflate?

I think he was the master of understatement in the press conference when he said there was some vibration and the tyres wore perfectly, and then added 'there was nothing left'.

Small irony that the MW contact with LH was quite similar to LH's contact with Massa last race. LH must be feeling a little unlucky. With that sort of luck he needs to go home and check that Nicole Scherzinger isn't a bloke in drag.

Mclaren just needs to install a bumper-ring around LH's car, ala indoor Karts.....

If you have a look on the AUTOSPORT website you can see where marks Tyre has rolled off the outer bead and is 5mm from rolling of the wheel itself, whichever Bridgestone mechanic put that wheel on today deserves a cold one I think :P

Agreed, amazing pic of Webber's wheel, thanks for posting.

Also thought Kub's drive at the end was amazing, very impressive, even if his tyres were fresh and those of the others he passed were not. His engineer's radio cracked me up after the first pass; "oh and these guys coming up, their tyres are also 50 laps old" :P

Absolutely loved Vettel trying to take off from the pits in 2nd gear! :happy: was lucky to get away with that one.

yeh saw that, commintator picked up on it as well, wanted to see a replay to see what gear was displayed on the wheel when he took off. was probably frustrated as team fu#ked his race by bringing him in with alonso. thought they would leave him out for a couple of flyers then pit him. seems redbull can only concentrate on one drivers strategy per race.

Well both Ferrari and RBR were saying they wanted to pit ASAP as the harder tyres were now qucker then their well used softs, problem was the McLarens were 2-4 seconds a lap slower and after pitting they woudl have been behind the far slower Mclarens.

So as soon as the Macs pitted that gave them a window of free track. They both wanted to put asap as if they pitted after the other then the guy got pitted first on his out lap woudl have been far quicker on the new hard tyres so the guy staying out was only ever going to lose ground.

Seems to make sense, shame they didnt have the 30sec to the Macs that they needed as it would have been interesting to see if RBR had more race pace then Fezz

Yeah, it was great in the last handful of laps as you could see Vettel turning up the wick; RB had more fight in reserve, but it seems as though the brakes were always a concern for them? (at least up until those last few laps when they could afford to go nuts).

(Webber's brake failure last season; continual feedback between Vettel and engineer re: brake condition)

Logistics of running a GP tells me it would simply get cancelled. Slight chance that they could run a GP in Japan at Fuji if there are no schedule conflicts, as the team are already in Suzuka for the previous GP and logistically would be easier to get to Brazil from Japan then Korea....but odds on Korea will be on. As if Bermie is going to say something in public if he does not already know EXACTLY what is transpiring

Here you go. ;) Last frame is after he finally drops it back to 1st. Agreed it was probably heat of the moment and a bit of frustration, but still a rookie error hey.

      I know people cry at the price of the Getrag 12-14k for a conversion now, but it really is a nice mid point. Not going to get change from 10k on a gearset installed.  $30k++ for sequential.   I know you run the risk of a damaged used one and parts are hard to get but as a street car gearbox its really hard to beat. If you enjoy a more traditional manual, its the choice no question.
