Damn...Diresta must be highly PI$$ed right now....that's 3 times in a row his team have buggered him up on a Saturday.


Sorry. How is it the teams fault that HE was underweight, and not the car......?


He lost 1 kg by driving 7-8 laps? Are you like f**king serious right now?

If you are hinting what i think you are :yikes: then surely Paul would still have the weight (and smell) on the weighbridge

Come to think of it, he was sitting a bit higher than normal in the car. :hehe:

Can't believe Di Resta's luck - if anyone is due some good breaks it is him!!

I think this race is going to unfold very much like Canada. In fact I think we have the pattern of the cars and their relative strengths and weaknesses. I actually think Fernando has a chance of getting on the podium - I know that may sound silly based on what we've seen in qualifying, but, I'm paying a lot more attention to the Friday long runs.

One thing is for certain, we wont be seeing 4 stop races. This will be two stops, and perhaps Lotus could do it in one and still be putting in very competitive lap times.

Something else from Friday's lap times, McLaren look very good.

I don't know if Lotus can do it in one stop. Do you have access to log run Friday run for the Mercs?


Merc were right up there. Perhaps half a second between them and Ferrari and RB, but that could easily be fuel load. I'm fairly certain we are going to see RB, Ferrari and Merc putting in the quick/competitive lap times.

It's not a high probability but Lotus may well be able to do it in one stop.

It's actually a pity Pirelli seem to have decided this year we will race on hards and mediums.

Hamilton's lap time of 1:29.607 in the W04 is a new Silverstone track record (in its current configuration) besting Fernando Alonso's time of 1:30.874 for Ferrari in 2010.

It's the combined limit, do you honestly think the driver weight limit is 650kg? Montoya isn't driving now you know :hehe:

Also I was joking about that Ferrari thing.

Well apparently he was at his normal weight after free practice, then 1.5 kgs underweight at the end of qualifying. Definitely not the team's fault, as so many are trying to make it out as.

Woo two Aussies in the top 5 :cloud9: and Sutil in 6th :D

I really like Ricciardo's chances today for a variety of reasons:

1) The Mercs are expected to drop back.
2) A typically slow-starting Webber is on the dirty side of the track (although his starts have been better of late).
3) Toro Rosso have found some pretty impressive race form in the past couple of races.

If things work out as per my delusional fantasy: a) We could have a Red Bull 1-2-3 and b) 2 Aussies on the podium, which could probably be the first time that has ever happened.... :thumbup:

That must of been one mammoth sh*t!

Bad luck for Di Resta :(

After that,I've seen some saying that's a bad thing for Kimi because he'll be on dirty side but good for Alonso because he was on dirty side but now on the clean one.How much would that matter ?

Sky were talking to Ross Brawn yesterday and he was of the opinion that there is not a massive delta between the two sides of the grid.
