What's the deal with the Red Bull KERS, it wasn't used at all during the race... not even at the start?!?!

they didnt run it in the race, apparently not even in Qualifying.

[racechick]

I wish the media would clam up about what Kubica might have achieved in the Renault. Petrov drove bloody well and shouldn't be discredited.

absolutely.

W'sB Red Bull dont have KERS

[FRAFPDD]

Pretty boring GP if you ask me.........


Few key notes to take mind of


-Red Bull are not untouchable, on worn tyres they seem pretty bad aswell, Hamilton was catching for a good amount of time
-Mr Dont take risks took a risk, got penalised, sure the penalty was strict, but wtf Button, why did he not just give it back.
- Just heard Sauber been DSQ, shame really, great performances by both, kobayashi was still just behind perez on an extra stop too.
- Ferraris race pace better but really not by a lot, only catching Petrov slightly at the end.
-Jenson hasnt the ability to get one less pitstop then everyone else.
- Knew that the FIA would have got it there abouts with the DRS, seems it is only a slight advantage.

Biggest upside: Always said Heidfeld is overrated- looking right atm, always said petrov is underrated, looking right....
Downside: the endless, kubica would have lapped the field 10 times if he was racing talk is soon to surface.

well that was a very good race. i really did enjoy it and even though at 2am it feels more like a dream..... the petrov/alonso strategy thing got me thinking it was a dream.

VERY good, solid, smart drive from Checo Perez...... excited to see a good rookie pair (diresta and him). But Perez was amazing, kept his cool, understood track and tire conditions.... A+

Also Petrov..... i got him props in the darkhorse thread. He's definitely underestimated by his team and the people. I tell ya... if he keeps his nose in one piece, he'll get very good results. He was also last yr not embarrassed by Kubica.

Vettel..... should get performance ballast for the next race

Alonso drove well. very good, but like he said himself, he'd rather drive so-so and win. so let's hope for more mediocre driving... with better points.
Lewis drive was ok, not bad, but far from great... but he got good points. That's the spirit.

so.... WTF was up with the ferrari?? hopefully this was a fluke. the car is not that bad, and alonso was fastest man on track on various occasions.....

Webber was really pixxed at the end... poor race, with vettel in such crushing form, this yr could be really bad for him.

eh.... there was lots of overtaking, i'm not sure how much due to the rear wingy thingy... but i still think the tires made the most overtaking possible, not the wingy thingy.

I wouldn't say it was far from great, he drove most of the race with a damaged floor which would have made the car lose a bit of downforce. I'm not saying he drove amazing or anything i just wouldn't be putting his drive down by any means.

Ok, so seems Sauber were DQ'd because the top element on the rear wing (the one that moves with the DRS) had too small a surface area along the very top edge, according to James Key. What a ridiculously obscure thing to be DQ'd for! Pretty hacked off now... Apparently it has zero performance effect so hopefully they might have some luck with their appeal, but i am not getting my hopes up.

Downside: the endless, kubica would have lapped the field 10 times if he was racing talk is soon to surface.

Yeah, get over yourself.

O Flower of Scotland,
When will we see your like again
That fought and died for
Your wee bit hill and glen.
And stood against him,
Proud Edward's army,
And sent him homeward
Tae think again.

The hills are bare now,
And autumn leaves lie thick and still
O'er land that is lost now,
Which those so dearly held
That stood against him,
Proud Edward's army
And sent him homeward
Tae think again.

Those days are past now
And in the past they must remain
But we can still rise now
And be the nation again!
That stood against him
Proud Edward's army
And sent him homeward
Tae think again.

well, yeah, maybe because he was hardly challenged and hardly challenged himself, with the damage caused by him and even after the damage he was pretty much clear of the others..... not a poor race after all he managed to beat everyone he could actually beat...... but that's it, not an impressive drive but it got him impressive pts. Q was super though.....

The damage wasn't caused by him actually. If you're referring to the off he had? well you can clearly see the floor was loose before he hit the kerb. That off was probably caused by the lack of downforce from the loose splitter/floor which would have been unexpected.

really? i thought he damaged the floor when he went off... ah well

Yeah, but only because you had the gall to say something so arrogant and condescending for no reason whatsoever!

[ivey]

I think the track wasn't too good for DRS also, in Malaysia it will definitely have a better effect, and after that in China probably the best effect. Let's wait and be patient

[vlad]

Yep, in Malaysia we will have a better insight.
THere were some good overtakings today, I liked Vettel's move on Button.

Too bad for Sauber team, I hope they will get their points back.

I apologise you dont appreciate it, but its sure as hell gonna happen, especially if Petrovs top results are consistent. Theres really not much else to talk about other then, we'll see, and we will.

Has already started on other forum im on btw, apparently Kubica would of won the race if he was taking part. When i see Kubica finally dance to the high-noted tune of his fan club, then i wont feel the need to bring his talent down to earth, where it belongs.
