If Webber gets past Vettel into turn one, RBR will be stewing. The tremors coming from Christian Horner's foot will be enough to cause an earthquake....

if Vettel keeps behind him, there will be no problem. Even with another P2 Vettel is still the solid championship leader. RB need the points for the constructors but i doubt there's much pressure to issue a swap on the wdc.

But the question is how Vettel feels about "just keeping behind". Will he want to play safe so early in the season?

Keeping Mark on his side (ie not pi$$ing off) is the best strategy for Vettel's title run. Mark drivers faster when he's angry

I think that Seb has learned his lesson from last year; Mark isn't going to give any driver a gift; it's fair that Mark makes drivers go around him and not allowing an easy pass! Although I can't see Mark getting ahead; more than likely he'll have another multifunctioning KERS; that'll start the conspiracy theorists off! Seb is a much more complete driver thusfar this season, we haven't seen the same rookie mistakes as last year, even at this stage I would go as far as saying he is world champion elect!

But you want wins not podiums spanky?


Being Ferrari youll be a liar if you say your pleased to fight for podiums, this team is scrutinised and peoples positions uestioned everytime they dont win a race.

Doesnt look good if you ask me, not at all. Id much like the traditional Mclaren Ferrari fight but its not going to happen, Mercedes beating two Mclarens in qualifying is only more bad news for Formula One Racing aswell, Dominance like they have is not good for the sport, its just getting easier and easier for them, Ferrari are too far back to match Red Bull. I think we all know whos won this championship.

Yes, team strives to win, but then I think all the major teams are alike in that regard.

If we go into a race with a realistic chance of a podium I'm very happy - who knows what happens from there.

Podium is great for me. In fact, a podium after an epic battle, IMO, is better than a processional win - I'm sure you'll remember one of my all time favourite races (which I have posted here before) involves one of my all time favourite drivers finishing on the podium but not winning (France '79). If I saw a repeat of that sort of battle between Nando and Lewis, I'd be supper pleased.

Forza Ferrari!

If you remember, Vettel was much faster than Webber last year... It's the same thing this year, but, he starts on pole!

That was easy

2 scenarios for the race the way I see it.

Boring race: Vettel and Rosberg get a great start....game over. Sadly, the more likely scenario.

Great race: Webber and Lewis get a great start...we then have Webber, Vettel, Lewis train. Just like last year. With a sweet ending.

Vettel should have this in the bag, considering he has a set of options to play with.

I do not know why McLaren chose not to save a set like they found beneficial with Lewis last race.

[geetface9]

Webber got second WOOOOOOOOOOOOOT maybe he can make a pass on vettel this year and he will cause an accident and then red bull will say LOL oh it's vettel's fault for not letting webber pass and put all the blame on vettel like they did to webber last year even though it was CLEARLY vettel's fault last year

[Hammer278]

It's not meant to turn anyone on.

Thus I hope you're female then.

Let's put him in some situations where he has the chance to ram another car first, eh?

[FerrariFan63]

One of the most interesting start battles may be between LH on the dirty side versus FA on the clean side.But, the McLaren is a quick starter, so it may be too much to hope that FA gets ahead.

[vlad]

The way I see it, it's going to be tough for positions 2-5 in turn one!
