    Brundle pointed out that it's on turn-in/lift-off that Red Bull have lost out because of the exhaust stuff. Their car is the same as last year.

    That's exactly it, go to do with exhaust flow.

    Aye, once it's pointed out ya realise just how good it must've been last year. They were so quick on apexes yet slow on straights and even on exits they weren't that amazing. All about the blown diffuser. They seem to have underestimated how much it helped them.

    And we all know why they were slow on the straights, and that's the Renault engine. No match for the Mercedes engines which I believe are the most powerfull engines on the grid.

    The blown diffuser really did benefit RB last year. I did read that RB know what's wrong with the RB8, but I think it might not be sorted until the season starts in Europe. But who knows...

    I remember Petrov saying that Renault didnt bring any new parts after 3rd race until autumn last year.
    They started concentration on the 2012 car very early.

    Let's see also if Renault engine continues to be more fuel efficient than Merc. Could we see one stoppers this race..

    They're saying the tyres are more durable than last year but this is a really rough track on tyres. Hopefully a one-stop will be impossible.

    I know, they had a lot of problems with it last season and nothing seems to have changed this year, it can't be that hard to get right.

    EDIT: I signed out and back in and it is working for me now.

    Great move by Vettel. Gonna be fun when he tries that with Schumi. :pac:

    Poor Grosjean, hope Maldonado doesn't get a penalty for that, looked like a racing incident to me.

    EDIT: Damn, right the first time!
