2012 Formula One Abu Dhabi Grand Prix

[Darren Bentley]

Why is Fernando moaning about Webber who was way ahead of him and even on Alonso's timing on his steering wheel he lost about 0.00 seconds with Webber

 

[Bram Hengeveld]

Interesting two qualy sessions. Vettel is able to make mistakes, thats new.

 

[Darren Bentley]

If Vettel doesn't have any fuel he is starting from 24th tomorrow if Hamilton had to way back in Spain

 

[Bradley Vanian]

If Vettel doesn't have any fuel he is starting from 24th tomorrow if Hamilton had to way back in Spain

Possible however we need to know the full circumstances.

PS: Hamilton's penalty wasn't just because of 'lack of fuel'

 

[Michael Brown]

That was a close and entertaining qualifying session. Even if Vettel got the pole it wouldn't have been a boring session.

For the sake of consistency that has to happen, but it would be a shame to see the WDC decided by this (if Alonso wins it).

I guess but according to Brundle (back in Spain he said) if you can't provide fuel you are dismissed from Quali,
Horner just said Renault told Vettel to stop

I think Vettel's four race win streak is about to come to an end.
Hamilton looks very strong this weekend.

I wouldn't find it a shame, bring Fernando back into the game now Vettel's starting position is in the hands of Ferrari International Assistance

We'll see, because when Hamilton stopped in Spain the team said that they had a car problem.

 

[Andrew Ford]

i don't know if it's fuel. i noticed the gears go from 3 to N very quickly - almost instantly. did vettel press a button for that or could it be the engine cutting out? seem to be very very sudden. if it was an alternator problem, would he start from the back?

Huh?

Having less fuel in your car during qualy its an adventage. It's in the rules and all the teams know it.

Also without penalties points from all drivers would be different, specially the ones who had a failure in engine or gearbox.

Wouldn't be a pity to have the championship decided by Grosjean making a stupid move on HAM and ALO at Spa? Or is just a pity when ALO is the one benefited...

Anthony Davidson has spotted that Vettel went from 3rd to Neutral and missed out 1st and 2nd

 

[Andrew Ford]

i think my skill in reading a dashboard and attention to detail deserves EVEN MORE CREDIT than your prophetic ability

 

[ufunacaoenn]

What a boring qualify that was, I was hoping for a tighter fight in Q3. But props to Maldonado for doing an excellent job in qualify, hopefully he will do well in the race too.

Saw Webber? He looked like a retarded.

i'm going to play it back now lol

edit: what was he doing with his mouth? :-S looks like he got cold sores too.

 

[Darren Bentley]

Vettel to start from last place after not being able to provide a good enough fuel sample

 

[Bradley Vanian]

No source but Vettel has been excluded from qualifying for not having enough fuel on the sample.

I believe he will be starting 24th on the grid however I have heard he will have to start from pitlane.

Don't believe me though, no source.
