due to his ability to look after tyres?

vettel's off the hook.

statement from the FIA read: "Having heard from the driver and team manager, and having noted that Car 1 started what was its fastest qualifying lap with 17 seconds to spare prior to the chequered flag, the stewards determined that no advantage was gained when car 1 left the track.

"Accordingly no breach of Article 20.13 occurred on this occasion and the stewards decide to take no further action."

I think more so because LH won't be able to look after his tyres given the way he sets the car up. His best hope is to get a very sizable gap off the start and hope McLaren can find a nice big hole to drop him in (and hopefully away from Massa).

If he can control himself for 2hrs he might get away with the race.

yes, but more of that i don't think the rest will look after there tyres.

it's going to be a race about tyres, redbulls are hard on there tyres so are the ferraris, mercedes will be strong here but are unlikely to pose a threat and hamilton well.....

you know what im going to say.

I predict Ham will just drive away from the field in the opening stage of the race.

Jenson will pass Vettel and stay P2.

Seb will be on the third step of the podium and inconsolable.

they only went up to the peugeot mclaren years, which was disappointing...

[sh@un]

lame

why make a mini doco on a bloke then not cover his best years?

he and McLaren won their titles in '98, then Mika won again in '99

[sh@un]

now Stoner's clinched the Moto title, a 1-2 finish for McLaren will complete the day.
