2013 Formula One Spanish Grand Prix

Metalfreaky Merc really need to focus on Race pace. I think they have too much grip factor which is Pulling them back on race. If you look at S3 they are the only to break 28 sec barrier where the Grip is Much important. With such grip their Over heating tires are really making their Tires go off. I also think there is a Break issue with Merc. their Driver never look comfortable under breaking

Yeah it wasn't the most intense race we had, but I can't really understand why Bahrain is rated higher by you guys.

What did Brundle say during the coverage? 86 pitstops, including drive thrus, retirements etc. Pretty bleh...

I was just thinking as DRS is now more or less considered a necessity why not replace this system with a temporary boost button like in Indycars so drivers in the lead like Rosberg in the early stages of the race at least have a chance to defend themselves.

Depending on the amount of laps lets say every 5 to 10 laps you can use a boost instead of the DRS.

Or just leave it all out and go back to normal racing V12's, sound and driver skills

I would like to see a limit of number of times you can use DRS in a race. Say, 10 times per race, maybe 15.

Off the top of my head? Watching the McLarens race wheel to wheel for so many laps was great.

because they were pushing harder and racing, like Brundle said during this race they were driving at pedestrian speed through corners to save tyres

Vettel radio

Horner to Vettel: "That was the max no matter what we had done, good drive though Seb"

Vettel: "No chin down today, chin up."

That or maybe have more powerful KERS/push to pass like in Indy which provides some intense fights.

Quote of the race, Lewis Hamilton " I can't go any slower", after being told to watch his tyres, sucks to be a Merc.

Thats the idea with the new powerunit for 2014, the new ERS system gives a massive horsepower boost over a longer period of time.

I've just been overtaken.....By a Williams.

 

[Ketnix]

Yea I actually lold at that, felt kind of bad doing it too.

 

[Bram Hengeveld]

Did Ferrari set their pitbox on fire already as a good tradition after winning this GP?

 

[Kartik Sri Harsha]

For 10 I will give 6. As some on quoted we are getting TYRED. Massa almost on the edge. The only action was at Pit stops.

 

[Ketnix]

Someones lighting Massa's car as we speak.

But if I am not mistaken then they will include DRS next year?

 

[Ketnix]

No change on DRS if I remember correctly. I reckon we might see that change towards the end of the season.

 

[Metalfreaky]

So that was ike 5 or 6 interesting laps in the whole race. I actually wouldn't call the races boring. They are just more tactical this year. But that's just my personal opinion.

 

[Kartik Sri Harsha]

A Much Powerful DRS. The Regulation change that gap will be increased to around 20 Odd cm or some thing more

As I said off the top of my head. Then there was Rosbergs drunken defensive driving ("You must always leave the space"), McLarens battling with each other, aswell as fighting Webber, Webber and Rosberg getting close, Di Resta hunted down by the Lotus.

Probably more but that was a few weeks ago and I barely remember what I did yesturday let alone that long ago. Im generaly the positive one around these parts, as I've enjoyed every race so far this season and I always find something positve to remark on.

Right now I've got to say I was bored as **** watching that race.
