    Spoke too soon :D

    Aye, seemed to happen to all of them in very quick succession.

    Vettel seems to almost have Alonso covered, tenth or two in it per lap is seems.

    EDIT: Webber has sped up since he got overtaken, himself, Alonso and Vettel just matching laptimes.

    Good overtake by Alonso on Webber :(

    mixed emotion for me too, I have Webber backed @ 13/2.
    It would all be worth it if Alonso beats that fcuking finger waving German.

    I felt for Hamilton there.
    RB in total control now. Good pit by Webber.

    Mechanic: "Rear tyres are hot."
    Hamilton: "I can't go any slower!"
    This should be interesting ...

    Very much not a McLaren track it has to be said.


    Have to agree with Brundle there, amazing reactions to wave a hand at backmarkers at that speed. :pac:

    Again Vettel seems to be able to just open it up once someone almost gets within the DRS zone.

    That McLaren just looks horrible on the onboard shot. Then again so do almost all the rest of them :pac:

    Something up with both Hamilton and Button it seems, both are 1-2 seconds off the leaders.

    This race is turning out to be funny, between Hamilton and his engineeer and the back markers not moving out of the way :D but its also a bit boring

    Ya gotta love the Kobayashi. ^_^


    What is it about Valencia that makes the races so poor? It's fast enough and has a good mix of corners but it just doesn't work for the races.

    Is Perez on options for the second stint???

    Hah Brundle just started talking about it. I reckon he is a driver to watch, great start to the season, Monaco aside

    Boring, almost fell asleep towards the end. Happy for Alonso though. Such grit and determination!

    No retirements either. Just reinforces my view that when they change the rules for the engines etc. they need to liberalise things a bit. Joke having engines that were doing over 20krpm limited to 18k now.

    The 4th race in F1 history with no retirements - and one of those was that 2005 USA Grand Prix that had only 6 runners. :rolleyes:
