    Kimi seems to have a bit of early pace in the lotus :P

    Massa is flying


  • Posts: 25,611 ✭✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    Heh, Kimi is hunting them down. Looks interesting from here on.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,444 ✭✭✭frostie500


    great start to the race and everyone is pretty close at the front, setting up nicely for the next stint! The Ferrari seems very racy out there and the top four are all very close in pace, great stuff!


  • Posts: 25,611 ✭✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    Stupid pitstops.

    I really hope wish guessing forwards the end.


    Push point fushing their stops.

    Lewis is doing a super job.

    Lap/12/13 I hope someone else heard that live, pretty funny stuff :P

    Ki - mi. Kim - ki - mi. Kim mi...

    Sutil is doing a fine job out in front.

    Webber only able to do 14 laps on a set of prime tyres, shocking wear from him. good move by ferrari to bring alonso in early and try and get the undercut


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,323 ✭✭✭Max_Charger


    The plot thickens...Sutil playing a blinder


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,855 ✭✭✭Grim.


    poor Massa ****ed over again

    Rain on the way, great!!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,670 ✭✭✭Rascasse


    Merc's chances out the window. They need another 10 laps and VET is over a second a lap faster. Looking at 4th to 6th right now.


  • Posts: 25,611 ✭✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    I really wish that shower wasn't coming because I want to see Kimi destroy them over 2 laps :P

    Merc and their f*cking reliability.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,855 ✭✭✭Grim.


    ya see merc what you've done here is not fix the underlying problem of your car being an unreliable piece of ****

    Massa closing on Sutil ?


  • Posts: 25,611 ✭✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    Long way to go yet but if Lotus have done what I've said and decided to not be retarded this season then Kimi has a chance. :D

    I hope they're not leaving it in Kimi's hands, so far he's beating the pace.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,855 ✭✭✭Grim.


    nice track postition for Kimi now


  • Posts: 25,611 ✭✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    I think he could have left if longer but he should win win from here anyway.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,670 ✭✭✭Rascasse


    Arrrrggghhh. Fecking Setanta and their random ads.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,670 ✭✭✭Rascasse


    Looks like Hamilton is going too fast. 8 tenths faster than Kimi and his tyres have to do a few more laps. Keeps going like that and he'll need to stop again.

    Edit. Maybe not, live timing may just have been wrong.


  • Moderators, Home & Garden Moderators, Technology & Internet Moderators, Regional East Moderators Posts: 12,613 Mod ✭✭✭✭2011


    Looks like Massa will pass Vettel.


  • Posts: 25,611 ✭✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    I don't think Hamilton is doing the same strategy as Raikkonen. If he can hold on then he deserves it, othewise then yes, Kimi, you are brilliant.


  • Posts: 25,611 ✭✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    Rosberg screwed by conditions again. Should be noted how well he was doing until his retirement.

    He's meant to be. Trouble is he stopped a few laps early each stop and it looks like plan b was the faster strategy.


  • Posts: 25,611 ✭✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    Hehe, gonna be very fun to see how much pace Fernando and Kimi have saved up. I'd say both teams were expecting a safety car...

    And Kimi just generally being awesome. :pac:

    Long way to go yet, Hopefully Sutil hope holds up Alonso for a while at least.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,056 ✭✭✭Sparks43


    Toss up between Kimi and Teflonso for the win

    Love to see Kimi winning it


  • Posts: 25,611 ✭✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    Kimi looks to be measuring his pace. If Kimi ended up dominating this season by "just about" winning races I'd love to see it, he's awfully in control right now.


  • Posts: 25,611 ✭✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    I would love this whole season to be Alonso V Raikkonen.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,621 ✭✭✭✭vectra


    Go Kimi..!!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,670 ✭✭✭Rascasse


    Sutil's tyres fallen off the cliff. At this rate he won't even finish in the points. Maybe 12th.

    Brundle pointed out earlier he had pretty much a full pitstop behind him, awful strategy call.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,670 ✭✭✭Rascasse


    He's picked it up now. from 35's and a 38 to 33's. Either tyres coming back a bit or not fancying finishing behind di Resta.


  • Posts: 25,611 ✭✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    If Kimi did this for the next 2 years I might get tired of it. Maybe.

    Win in OZ and went on to win wdc :P


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 864 ✭✭✭Kxiii


    Fair play to Kimi, good race.

    Nice haul of points for Ferrari.


  • Moderators, Technology & Internet Moderators Posts: 17,135 Mod ✭✭✭✭cherryghost


    Delighted for Kimi and more delighted Red Bull doesn't have pace they showed over practice and quali.

    That was purely to piss Vettel off even more, fantastic.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,855 ✭✭✭Grim.


    Tough call for driver of the day tbh a tie between Kimi and Sutil imo, i do feel sorry for Massa though properly ****ed over by his team once again.

    after fifteen hours of motor racing in the last twenty hours im now ready to keel over


  • Posts: 25,611 ✭✭✭✭ [Deleted User]
