Alonso is flying, two fastest laps, in two laps.

Massa looks like the first to blink with tyres

Scratch that. Changed their minds

gazzalfc · « **Reply #4682 on:** July 31, 2011, 01:21:30 PM »

Webber on slicks. F1 on ice

Didi_ram · « **Reply #4683 on:** July 31, 2011, 01:21:33 PM »

Damaged wing for Massa.
Dont think it matters.

AJ4Seven · « **Reply #4684 on:** July 31, 2011, 01:21:36 PM »

Surely Massa as a guinea pig?

He can't stay on the track on inters, how's he gonna do it with slicks?

ds2190 · « **Reply #4685 on:** July 31, 2011, 01:21:51 PM »

Will be interesting to see how these slicks work.

b_joseph · « **Reply #4686 on:** July 31, 2011, 01:22:00 PM »

Tough pit for Webber

ds2190 · « **Reply #4687 on:** July 31, 2011, 01:23:24 PM »

Jenson on super-softs too.

gazzalfc · « **Reply #4688 on:** July 31, 2011, 01:23:27 PM »

Button struggling badly

Surprise me. · « **Reply #4689 on:** July 31, 2011, 01:23:40 PM »

Alonso can win this race with this pace

Mr Kipling · « **Reply #4690 on:** July 31, 2011, 01:24:07 PM »

Button on slicks now.

ds2190 · « **Reply #4691 on:** July 31, 2011, 01:24:21 PM »

Lewis pits and so does Vettel.

Surprise me. · « **Reply #4692 on:** July 31, 2011, 01:25:05 PM »

option tyres really working now

gazzalfc · « **Reply #4693 on:** July 31, 2011, 01:25:23 PM »

No one jumped during pits

Webber 3 seconds faster on slicks

ds2190 · « **Reply #4694 on:** July 31, 2011, 01:25:58 PM »

Alonso going into his box helped Lewis on the pit-stop. Got a few more tenths between him and Vettel.

gazzalfc · « **Reply #4695 on:** July 31, 2011, 01:26:46 PM »

Button up to 2nd

Surprise me. · « **Reply #4696 on:** July 31, 2011, 01:26:49 PM »

Lewis has a clear run now to pick up a gap, Button takes 2nd place, C'mon!!

b_joseph · « **Reply #4697 on:** July 31, 2011, 01:26:52 PM »

What a great stretch from Jenson...classy stuff, 2nd place.

ds2190 · « **Reply #4698 on:** July 31, 2011, 01:26:59 PM »

Great driving from Button and Webber.

JLStretton · « **Reply #4699 on:** July 31, 2011, 01:27:00 PM »

Nicely done from Button.

Mr Kipling · « **Reply #4700 on:** July 31, 2011, 01:27:18 PM »

Button up to second. Webber screaming through the field as well.

Awesome

Lewis

jillc · « **Reply #4703 on:** July 31, 2011, 01:27:26 PM »

What a great pass by Jensen I'm coming through.

gazzalfc · « **Reply #4704 on:** July 31, 2011, 01:28:38 PM »

Webber gone wide

Car 12 under investiation for speeding in pit lane

Hamilton is absolutely flying

Didi_ram · « **Reply #4706 on:** July 31, 2011, 01:30:52 PM »

Still think the race has a lot to offer...

gazzalfc · « **Reply #4707 on:** July 31, 2011, 01:30:55 PM »

Now that slicks are being used do the drivers have to use 2 tyre compounds? Or is this considered a wet race?

El_Pistolero · « **Reply #4708 on:** July 31, 2011, 01:31:11 PM »

Hamilton's on fire.

Wet race

Mr Kipling · « **Reply #4710 on:** July 31, 2011, 01:33:11 PM »

Not a big fan of Alonsothe person, but Alonso the driver is an absolute beast. Really driving the balls off that Ferrari

gazzalfc · « **Reply #4711 on:** July 31, 2011, 01:33:34 PM »

Wet race

Cool
Plays right into Lewis' hands. He used only 2 sets on super softs during quali while all the other top runners used 3.

b_joseph · « **Reply #4712 on:** July 31, 2011, 01:35:25 PM »

This is almost going too well..its making me nervous seeing these McLarens flying away.

gazzalfc · « **Reply #4713 on:** July 31, 2011, 01:35:52 PM »

10 mins to more rain

Surprise me. · « **Reply #4714 on:** July 31, 2011, 01:36:10 PM »

Gap between Lewis and Button is now 8.6. 9.1 after the last lap

gazzalfc · « **Reply #4715 on:** July 31, 2011, 01:37:04 PM »

Trulli out. Can't blame the power steering on this one

Mr Kipling · « **Reply #4716 on:** July 31, 2011, 01:37:34 PM »

Massa has not been the same driver since that serious accident.

"Nookie". · « **Reply #4718 on:** July 31, 2011, 01:43:15 PM »

FIRE!!

EDIT: Explosion that hit the marshal too!

b_joseph · « **Reply #4719 on:** July 31, 2011, 01:43:44 PM »

Shit me, explosion...a mini one but still
