Wasn't looking at Webber but bloody hell 9th place

Poor Webber, great stuff from the Renaults. Massa overtook Alonso, great.

KERs failure for Webber. Fucking hell Red Bull are out to get him [/conspiracy]

Pit » Hamilton: "The radar says a shower is passing close by the circuit."

How do you know that?

We heard Vettel's team saying droplets of rain and MSC's team saying - rain in 5-10 minutes.

Shows what gear and amount of throttle Hamilton is doing to which is brilliant.

Jagdip · « **Reply #888 on:** April 10, 2011, 09:14:49 AM »

Wow, Webber not having any KERS and THAT happens! Shit.

cheers for the links lads

Pit » Button: "Jenson the cars in front are Lewis and Heidfeld. Heidfeld seems to be struggling with his tyre."

Surprise me. · « **Reply #892 on:** April 10, 2011, 09:20:58 AM »

Vettel has a huge lead now, this is his race if rain doesn't change things.

Surprise me. · « **Reply #893 on:** April 10, 2011, 09:22:57 AM »

Webber in the pits early could mean that he will end up being on a 4 stopper at this rate.

Jagdip · « **Reply #894 on:** April 10, 2011, 09:23:57 AM »

Hamilton really closing up on Heidfeld.

Jagdip · « **Reply #895 on:** April 10, 2011, 09:26:31 AM »

Lewis puts on new dry tyres. It's raining. ?Race over?

Jagdip · « **Reply #896 on:** April 10, 2011, 09:27:14 AM »

Oh Vettel puts on dry tyres too. So does Jenson.

Everyone goes on drys.

Jagdip · « **Reply #897 on:** April 10, 2011, 09:27:37 AM »

Looks like Hamilton in to second. Button in third.

Surprise me. · « **Reply #898 on:** April 10, 2011, 09:27:58 AM »

Everyone sticking on drys, thought that was a bit odd but if its brief then we'll see..

Agreed.

That Lewis/MSC/Alguesari battle - awesome.

Could just be plan A named plan B.

Apparently it means he is now on a 3 stopper.

mobydick · « **Reply #902 on:** April 10, 2011, 09:39:16 AM »

Alonso driving well.

Jagdip · « **Reply #903 on:** April 10, 2011, 09:40:58 AM »

Pit » Hamilton: "Lewis, Alonso about half a second faster than us."

Jagdip · « **Reply #904 on:** April 10, 2011, 09:41:23 AM »

So the rain never really came

b_joseph · « **Reply #905 on:** April 10, 2011, 09:43:45 AM »

If Lewis is legitimately cutting into Vettel, then this could get interesting. I'd side on the 'Vettel is coasting' theory though.

Surprise me. · « **Reply #906 on:** April 10, 2011, 09:45:37 AM »

Hamilton is really charging down on Vettel. Only 3 seconds now? Tyres could be shredded though.

rednile · « **Reply #907 on:** April 10, 2011, 09:47:33 AM »

Badly timed pitstop for Hamilton .

b_joseph · « **Reply #908 on:** April 10, 2011, 09:48:37 AM »

Vettel has the same issue as Lewis there...come on Lewis lad!!! He can really do this now after that pass..

Surprise me. · « **Reply #909 on:** April 10, 2011, 09:48:50 AM »

Wow, Vettel could lose more ground here as Hamilton passes Petrov.

Uhoh AureliOs · « **Reply #910 on:** April 10, 2011, 09:48:56 AM »

Shit for Vettel coming out behind those two.

Hamilton makes a good move on Petrov to make things worse.

Surprise me. · « **Reply #911 on:** April 10, 2011, 09:50:16 AM »

Damn it... Wanted him to stick behind Massa for a bit.

Uhoh AureliOs · « **Reply #912 on:** April 10, 2011, 09:50:34 AM »

And it's all good again. Cmon Vettel!

Surprise me. · « **Reply #913 on:** April 10, 2011, 10:02:23 AM »

Vettel pulling away even without the use of KERS.

mobydick · « **Reply #914 on:** April 10, 2011, 10:05:56 AM »

He has to stop, Lewis doesn't need to. Down to tyre management.

b_joseph · « **Reply #915 on:** April 10, 2011, 10:06:02 AM »

Wow, its not even close, right now. Lewis is pulling away from Button though.

Surprise me. · « **Reply #916 on:** April 10, 2011, 10:07:26 AM »

Bloody hell the racing line is so clear because of the marble on the dirty parts of the track. I've never seen it as obvious as that.

Ah well. Probably done and dusted.

b_joseph · « **Reply #918 on:** April 10, 2011, 10:11:08 AM »

2 awful pits for Lewis today..absolutely awful. Button ahead of him now.

Surprise me. · « **Reply #919 on:** April 10, 2011, 10:11:26 AM »

Well that long stop has cost him then, Button in front of him now.
