Red Bull looking strong , specially Vettel!
yeah man how scary was that for buemi lol
i was eating in a restaurant and just let out a big 'WTF' hhahah
vettell ftw
webber will be lucky for 2nd place - i reckon alonso will jump him
I picked vettel for champion this year. He wants it bad. Not only being world champ but also the youngest world
champ in history. Two massive titles to his name. He's young and he will
be the next schumacher.
mclaren was damn strong in the race..
no denying they got the straight line speed - making cars look like they were going backwards lol
button fcukt everyone up though - webber lost 5 positions after he compressed the field haha
Have to say, intermittent rain always makes the race much more interesting from a viewers point of view, but for once it would have been better with a dry race today. Webber jumped Vettel while Alonso was given a jump start penalty so Webber would have been leading, not only that Webber would have had first priority in the pits and a good chance to win.
since your link was down :)Quote:

I laughed so hard watching this, looks planned
WTF, that crash was wierd, has torro rosso realeased an explanation of what happened?
F1 Catalunya
Schumi was puttin in some solid times in practice 1 & 2..
cant wait till quali
RBR & McClaren both strong too
webber!
its funny how the red bulls are the slowest in the speed traps yet post times 1 second faster than the rest of the field
I'm going to go out on a limb and call this - Schumi is back!!! Now he just needs some further improvements to the Merc to start challenging. Seems like the longer wheelbase they introduced this weekend is working for him and his "throw it into corner" style. About time too.
watch him f**k it up again... :DQuote:

lol. GLHFGGRM hamilton.
Hamilton shouldn't buy Lotto tomorrow.
Bad luck hamilton.. good to see Webber finally pull it off... amazing how his best time during the race way surpased his best qualifying time...
It seem the new rules this season will favour the driver/car combo that is reliable and in for... once you get away at the start, if you can remain consistant the race is yours...
Big ups to Webber! If he could only do that more often, we'd have an Aussie world champ.
GG to hamilton...
whats this s**t i heard from the commentators last night that kubica could be moving to ferrari next year... whats wrong with Massa...
How good was Q3 in Monaco? Go fkn webber woohoo!!!!
Webber must be loving it right now, he should win it
It should be a good race with lots of pile ups!
Webber rumoured to move to Ferrari!!!!! Geez
Ninja move by schumi ftw!!!
Best race of the season. Webber ****en deserves it so much. Awesome indeed!! Looking forward to the next round
Yes Lol!!!Quote:

vettel loked rattled i agree... they pumped a lot of their efforts (red bull) into the young fella, because they felt that Webber was too old... so i think age and experience (or lack thereof) is showing...
whilst im over the moon for webber, lets wait and see how he does in the next round... where it is a bit easier to overtake!
sucks to be a williams mechanic over the next two weeks
Hahaha, Williams and mclaren! What about all the noobs causing carnage lol
Yeh Vettel is definately rattled.. 4 safety cars but Webber was still able to pull away easily on all occasions. Shumi apparently got a penalty for overtaking Alonso on the last corner after the safety car came in
20 sec pen, brings him back to 12th
impressive drive from alonso...
he was the only dude who made the race actually interesting... starting from pits all the way to 6th... that takes a fair effort... especially at Monaco
Don't agree with penalty on Schu. Old rival Damon Hill was race steward...suss! They should seriously appeal that decision. The rules are kinda grey.
I'm wrapped for Webber. He's become HOT PROPERTY! Similar to Nigel Mansell who blossomed at age 33.
I agree that it is pretty dodgy since they are using rule 40.13 which states - "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."Quote:

Yeah i thought Schumi should have got that
it was fair and he passed after alonso after the line..
whats the point of the safety car coming in if that rule applies. He might as well have brought the cars home.
I dont think anyone knew of the rule. When the safety car went in, they all went for it, otherwise why would alonso have gone wide if he wasnt pushing it. The commentators didnt know it, they thought it was legit.
Webber!!!!!!!! What a sik kient!!!!! Webber for world champ!!!
YES webber on pole, Vettel having a sook once a again. Webber needs to have a really good start though, Webber's starts have been quite poor, and with Hamilton next to him in a faster car it's not going to be easy. If Webber stays in front by the 1st corner I'd say he wins it if he doesnt make any mistakes or the car is reliable.
Vettel and hamilton can launch. Thats why when webber in on pole i get really nervous. Luckily its not too long of a straight. He'd be fkd in bahrain. lol

Hahhahahaha.... everyone is going to hate Vettel now.
Lol at press conference.
Well, I can understand that at that point, Webber would be wanting to rip Vettel a new one. hahaha
hahah hes improved
listen what he said last time .... its near the end of the vid

What is wrong with vettel, ruining webber and red bulls race
Vettel is a fn diiiick............head!
There is an unwritten rule, Vettel broke it. In the end he deserved not to finish. But it should have been a Red Bull 1-2.
Hopefully he will learn from it and mature.
What I took away from the race though; McLaren will be the team to beat next race out and for the championship I believe.
Unless Red Bull have some great new developments up their sleeve. If you remember last year, McLaren developed their car
better than anyone else in the second half of the season.
Couldnt believe what happened last night..
Vettel had plenty of room and there was so much of the straight to go i duno why they dint keep going.
Vettell probably would have got Webber at the end as he had the speed and Mark would have yielded at the end of the straight cos Vettell had the inside line
But farout that was pretty ordinary
Hopefully it doesnt rattle the team for too long
The reaction from Adrian Nuey and Christian Horner was priceless LOL
McLaren definately the team to beat for Canada
When Vettel wins he's Mr nice guy.
Now things aren't going his way, he's acting like a spolt brat.
Well done to Webber for keeping his cool. I would've loss it.
there is bad blood between the Vettel and Webber you can tell it... every before the race... probably ever since Webber started winning... Red Bull is trying to proclaim everything is la di da but by wisking Vettel off to the team caravan thing
s**t like that can spell the end of a championship... it was early on in the race anyway... chances are the Mclarens would have probably overtook Webber and Vettel because of the F Duct... still Vettel could have got some points on the board to help the constructors championship...
i don't even know why people are getting p!ssed off Webber still leads the championship... if he and the team were smart enough they would take it into their stride, get their stupid F Duct working and work as a team...
There was always something suss going on over at RBR
Vettell was always the number 1 driver - and it was easier to hide when Vetell was winning last season
But not Mark's ontop you can see the frustration on SB's face..
MW now leads and the team would be foolish to risk another incident like that again..
It is early in the season but as long as MW is consistent and keeps maintaining the lead over SB then the team will have to back the lead driver whether they like it or not (i.e. Christian Horner & Helmut Marko)
Maybe an Aussie is not suppose to win like the socceroos against Italy incident...
theres been 2 that have already won it... Sir Jack Brabham (3 Time World Champion) and Alan Jones...Quote:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lqwx7w6i1HQ
they say Webber didn't turn his steering wheel but Vettel didn't as well...
my guess is that Webber was in Vettels blindspot, Vettel thought he passed and went in for the kill IMO just a sad racing incident...
It was 100% vettels fault, whats pissing everyone off is that RBR and Vettel have not admitted fault and is actually putting it on webber. In their eyes Vettel is RBR number 1 driver and I think Vettel is just pissed that Webber is beating him in championship points.
That was a really good Canadian GP! Alonso didn't look very happy lol I guess he thinks he should have been in first place... It looks like the competition might be a lot closer to the Bulls these days!
I was surprised that the Red Bulls munched up the tyres so quickly and also how slow webber was after the change to the same medium tyre compound just before he got overtaken by Hamilton.
FDBenni, what you have to understand is that RBR told Webber that if the race was to continue with VET second, that HAM would overtake him before the end of the race. Now Vettel went for the pass thinking that Webber was letting him through to keep the RBR 1-2 but even when Vettel passed Webber didn't yield, this is the problem. So the problem is that Vettel thought Webber yielded and wanted to get into racing line for the up and coming turn! from an unbiased point of view it was Vettels fault but Webber could have and probably should have yielded.
Farken webber!!! He should learn how to launch! 2nd to 9th position.
He kept getting caught on the wrong side of the line when the McLarens overtook him. You can see in the replay that once he got on the wrong side of the track, everyone else had the racing line and overtook him easily.Quote:

Go Webber - suck sh*t red bull
id like to see what they do now that Webber is ahead of Vettell
oh and suck sh*t Vettell - hahahah
Webber FTW!
Great drive from Webber! I thought Hamilton was going to be all over his rear, but Webber managed to prove me wrong and pull away, even after the safety car! He really deserved this win.
Not bad for being number 2.
dam red bulls no one can catch em -
good luck to Webber he deserves it after so many years of bad luck-
Unfortunately the McLaren's will take it out this year; gallanet effort by vetell/webber...watch them tumble slowly not next year but the year following; coz too much money spend on r&d and wrong time to do it with GFC. Ferrari back with a vengance 2nd half od the year. 2011 will be clean sweep of EVERYTHING. :-)
Stupid prediction. How did you pull that out of your arse. Who even said vettel and webber Will evenl be driving for red bull In 2 years? Ferrari come back 2nd hAlf of the year? How did you come up with that? What facts do you have to back that up with?Quote:

With all due respect there's no information to support such a prediction you just made. How can you predict 2 years ahead? Lol
German GP starting grid

2 ALONSO Ferrari

22 YAMAMOTO HRT
23 DI GRASSI Virgin
24 GLOCK Virgin
Ferrari have def. caught up to the Bulls. Vettel yanked pole by just 0.002 from Alonso... I can't even comprehend that sorta time frame/distance! The Fezza's have had decent race pace last few races as well, just not much luck!
I don't think you can predict titles at this point... the point system makes it easier to make up for a poor weekend OR a good weekend. But if I had an opinion as to who should take the constructors crown, RedBull hands down... Drivers? doesn't matter, let them battle with skill and consistency!
FERRARI.... WOW! Biggest dirt team ever.... :thumbsdown:
I can't say I'm that surprised with what happened
I was hoping that massa would take it out but yet again the team intervenes
So disappointed in f1 right now
Ok if German grand prix proved my prediction so far is stupid maybe the Hungarian GP will help prove my point; and at the end of the season we shall see how much arse i pulled out and next year (not 2 years) you will log back in after FI RA RI has won drivers and constructors and you will look like the arse. p.s. its a business/team sport; button/hamilton thing would've been the same and red bulls kinda prove they were doing the same thing with the front wing preference.
Fark me!!!! What a fkn race!!!!!
Exciting race overall - plenty of action. Very happy i stayed up to watch this one
Awsome drive by Webber..
Pulled out lap after lap to give himself the buffer to remain in the lead after his pit stop..
LOL @ Vettell - sucker hahah
And wtf @ Schumi .. hes not doing any favours for his reputation..
anybody know whether the Mercedes GP got their asses handed to them because of that shit that happened in the pits to Rosberg and Schumacher???
as good of a drive that was from Webber and he did deserve it, he was also EXTREMELY lucky that Alonso didn't have the pace to keep up with Red Bull...
Red bulls will unfortunately suffer on the high speed circuits -Monza

everyone keeps saying that red bull will fall for a while now. but yet they still end up at the front of the grid and they still end up on the podium..... short slow and or fast.... as webber said in one of the pre talks they are runnin alot more downforce on there cars as they are sacrificing speed for better cornering..... vettels last lap was fastest lap for the race... by 1.2 over alonso fastest..
once they get sorted with the f ducked i think they will have a great chance on the faster tracks..
either way, no matter how it turns out at the end of season i think it has been by far one of the best seasons ive watched in over 10 years.... hands down....
im only hoping the new teams stay in and can improve to make things even more competitive next year....
Reckon? I think this season has been whack.. Theres what, 5 teams that are competitive, everyone else (All the fresh teams) are just getting in the way imo. Fair enough for the first few races they are getting their feet, but hell, I wouldnt have thought it would take them the whole season to become closer to the front runners and be competitive.. Then again this is probably the first season where almost half the grid is new teams.. I dunno.Quote:
