Think EJ and coultard have hinted at a massive budget for redbull.

Anyway, I suppose what stands out for redbull is their ability to cope with the differences in having a fast car for quali without completely comprising the race setup, of course it was suspected that they had a ride height system, although now I think its down to some clever suspension design?

This morning... at about 10am..... i asked to myself: Isnt today Qualy for Barcelona at 8am?
:censored:

Anyway; Red Bull obviously have a massive budget. like Ferrari, Mclaren and some others... but they have Newey, and have the determination to win, and are oretty much continuing on last yr's already superb job. They more or less have made a pledge to win; but so do the others... I think right now there is something that benefits the Red Bulls that the others havent been able to find. Its probably related to the suspension, and there has to be some deal to keep the secrecy so they win in the end.

More than Ferrari being slow, its more probably a matter if them just getting used to the Duct thing. Mclaren have been running it for longer, so they have to be all comfortable with it.

Massa did poorly. Kubica did great. Alonso did incredibly good considering where Massa is.... he sounds downbeat; maybe because the upgrades were not so great :(

Bernie wants Vettel to win, he will win the championship.

Michael is decent. Thats good.

Im still :banghead: I missed Q.... :banghead:

I think so,

On ferrari, they focused on sorting out their engine problem and probably on getting the f-duct on, they diddn't really have any major updates.

are you f***ing KIDDING ME???? 2 laps before the end. I've got nothing to say, he's been unlucky the whole season and this pretty much adds more up to it

Unbelievable!! Boring race and awful ending. (Not Webber-nice to see him win)

Lucky Alonso.
Massa needs to buck up fast, he's hurting team points situation.
Why laugh at Hamilton? he was the only one taking it to the red bulls.

Yeah thats racing mate, He should have looked after his tyres better perhaps. atleast he split the Redbulls and cemented the fact McLarens moved 2nd behind the RB's in the pecking order, for now. something to take away for the rest of the season to build on in the development race.

But you gotta hand it to Webber, :clap: perfect race and was untouchable even by his own team mate!

Whitmarsh doesnt think so. His tyres were looked after fine. They were monitoring that.

must have been a failure in the tyre itself then. unfortunate, cannot blame anyone for that.

Whitmarsh speculated that it could have been debris between tyre and rim.
Lewis confirmed he wasnt trying to catch webber(no point ) he was cruising to the end for 2nd and looking after everything.

That was clearly a busted rim. You saw a complete rim arch fly off a microsecond before the whole thing disintegrated. If it wasn't for bad luck, he'd have no luck at all.
