Andy_Bangle Posted November 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2012 The grid for tomorrow race: Bit of a shock to see Seb stopping the car on track at end of qualifying, which could lead to a penalty. For the sake of the WDC please be out of fuel :D * If Engine problem then they can use an older engine as they have already used their 8. If they use a new one it will result in a penalty. * If gearbox damage from hitting the barrier then he will get a penalty if they change the gearbox. Not changing the gearbox will result in the RBR failing tomorrow or getting worse as the race goes on. * Out of fuel will also result in a penalty and the biggest one of the lot. If the engine is broken (and RB can prove it), the FIA allows a change in parc fermé without the penalty. I'd agree with Damon Hill in saying Pastor Maldonado was once again the star of qualifying. You kind of expected Hamilton to get pole, But Pastor put himself right in the thick of it once again. While his team mate proved... well.. "meh" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cuprabob Posted November 3, 2012 Report Share Posted November 3, 2012 That's just opened it right back up again. Alonso must be laughing his head off. Took them a while to come up with the decision as I just checked 10 mins ago and there was nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Posted November 3, 2012 Report Share Posted November 3, 2012 First corner accident, SV out! Can still see Weber winning tomorrow. But hope LH wins it. (Yes I'm a fanboy!) Alonso needs a big race tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cuprabob Posted November 3, 2012 Report Share Posted November 3, 2012 I think Vettel will start from the pit lane so he can use the hard tyres. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Posted November 3, 2012 Report Share Posted November 3, 2012 Be typical that SV has an amazing race and beats Alonso. Like Schumi used to do. Rosberg did better today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cuprabob Posted November 3, 2012 Report Share Posted November 3, 2012 (edited) Should be really good race though. I can see Massa having a problem causing him to drop back down the field and accidentally clashing with SV when one tries to overtake the other Edited November 3, 2012 by Cuprabob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarMad Posted November 3, 2012 Report Share Posted November 3, 2012 Well this is going to spice things up. Redbull have confirmed he is going to start from the pit lane and are baffled as to why they have got a problem not being able to supply the right amount of fuel for a sample. Apparently they were 150ml away from being able to provide the required 1ltr sample as they aren't allow to dismantle the car to get the rest that will almost certainly be in there. Was a cracking lap by Lewis though will be interesting to see how Webber does at the front and if Maldonado keeps it clean for the first few laps.

Twinspark Posted November 4, 2012 Report Share Posted November 4, 2012 What an amazing drive by Vettel. He's grabbed opportunity when it was there (safety cars), but he's driven so bloody well to drag himself up to where he is now. I wonder if JB can make his current advantage stick and do something to get close to a win? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cuprabob Posted November 4, 2012 Report Share Posted November 4, 2012 Cracking race and glad to see Kimi winning. As said above Kimi's radio is fantastic.

Barry Scott Posted November 4, 2012 Report Share Posted November 4, 2012 Cracking race, made even better that I put a bet on Kimi at 33-1 before the race weekend started, to win. Shame in a way that Vettel did so well as would be nice if the championship goes down to an old school Brazil finale! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
