I think Red Bull's reliability is questionable. They've had driveshaft issues all weekend, (today with Vettel being the obvious example). Whether they can last the race distance? We'll have to wait and see.

Well the team hasn't had reliability issues in the last two races. Saying that, Jaysus, we've had some problems in free practice...

I really hope not, it would be typical if the curse of Mark Webber returns

From F1 Live:

Shanghai pole-sitter Sebastian Vettel has admitted he is concerned about the reliability of his car ahead of Sunday's Chinese Grand Prix.

Reporters interpreted the German's low tally of laps en route to top spot in qualifying as his ‘cool’ under pressure, but in fact he was concerned about a technical problem.

Both Vettel and Red Bull team-mate Mark Webber were grounded with identical driveshaft problems in practice, and the glitch struck again on Vettel's car during the first round of qualifying.

"We were really concerned that the car would not last for the rest of the qualifying, so we agreed on doing basically as little laps as necessary and see if we can manage to get through," he revealed.

Vettel admitted he is now concerned about a recurrence in the race.

"I hope the boys can fix it and I hope it will last," he said. “In the end we both had the problem this morning. In qualifying only I had the problem, so Mark's car was fine as far as I heard and I hope that both of our cars are without any trouble tomorrow.”

I'm more worried about a first corner tangle

Where's that pic from Ewman? A feature for tomorrow's race build-up?

Senna would not have tolerated Hamilton's arrogance. Senna was old school, believing you had to earn the respect of your peers.

I think we're talking Bruno here

At least Bruno can tell Lewis "eh I'm the real Senna, stop trying to copy my Uncle *slap*"

I was talking about Bruno, but from what I've read about Ayrton, that's the kind of impression I get. I really need to get some old grands prix downloaded and watch him race. :/

Back in the Old School days Hamilton wouldn't have waltzed into a Mclaren either.

[racechick]

Senna was pretty arrogant easily forgiven and soon frgotten but he was, it comes with great talent. The only member of the Senna family ive ever heard speak of Lewis is Ayrton's sister, and she spoke highly of him. Lewis holds Ayron in the highest regard and i thnk would relish working with the young Senna. I think it would be an awsome pairing.

[Frosty]

I don't think Mclaren made any sort of protest did they?

The probably thought there was no point because
A. They would mess it up with the stewards
B. Wouldn't matter because HK will probably crash out on the first lap anyway.

Yeah, i can just see it, he has a nice 10s lead after the final pitstops, everything is looking good, then...

That would be awful.

[scousers on tour 2008]

should be a good race sunday kimi and lewis both were much heavier then some of the front runners and although they still would not be as fast with the same weight they are still a lot closer then they have been so should make for a good race with a little rain i hope
