Stefano confirms to Ted that they won't Change the Grid Positions

Yeah not intentionally. But what happens if his gearbox is broken? Such a coincidence, who could've predicted that.

 

[Kevin Cordice]

Alternator?

Well in that case felipe can say Thank you very much.

RB using the new spec alternator as the rest of the Renault teams are, they say that issues been solved. Who knows.

Becasue it wouldnt make sense here.
The haven't done it in Austin to get Fernando one position up. They did it to get Alonso (and Massa) on the clean side, because the difference on the new track there was HUGE.

And Massa starting right near Vettel will keep him veeeery tense. I bet Felipe will dive without any consideration, if Seb wants to finish the first lap untouched he will be 5th after T1-2.

i think perhaps Ferrari rolled the dice going for a more wet setup, knowing that they probably couldn't beat the Red Bull in a dry race tomorrow even if they went for a dry setup.

if it rains and it works out for them their gamble might pay off. But Red Bull tend to run fairly high downforce at most circuits even in the dry, so they will probably still be competitive tomorrow even if it rains.

 

[Shane Butler]

Lets hope Schumi and Kobayashi do well tomorrow.

 

[Darren Bentley]

so much for Maldonado rear ending Vettel at the start, Maldonado has a 10 place penalty

Maldonado? Not it will be Massa who is ordered to to take his front wing to the side of Vettel's right rear tire at the start of the race giving the German a puncture. I hope I am wrong, I will gladly eat my words if I am wrong. But I am predicting that Ferrari will order Massa to take Vettel out of the race.

 

[Victor Ivanov]

I don't think Ferrari can do something that low. Yeah they've done sh*t before but something that low is not an option I guess or I want to believe, dunno

Massa had a dryer set up than Fernando, but seeing Fernando last lap on a "wetter" set up is not that bad compared to Schumi and his full blow wet set up, Fernando did push it to the limit.

Its weird, if its wet and no SC start wouldnt the logical smart start be on the "dirty" side?

Is Maldonados penalty something that Williams did to help Ferrari?

Conspiracy?

This last 3 races has been the most ludicrious. I will defend Massa, he is a teamplayer, I don't see any other driver willing to just letting his team break his G-box seal, but its a team and he is a teamplayer, so good luck to him.

 

[Diego Lopez]

I wouldnt say its low, being Brazil I dont think Massa would just let any1 thru unless its Fernando.

Don't think so Newey himself has said old, new, futuristic, all have had the same issue since 2005, its an unsolved mystery. yeah thats right the "genious" himself said it.

Everytime I want to laugh I come here and read some posts like this one.

 

[Carlos Luna]

No. The marshals had chosen to stop Maldonado at the weighbridge and Maldonado wasn't paying attention. I highly doubt his team told him to not stop at the weighbridge so they can get penalized.

 

[Johnny Russian]

just read now there's an 80% chance of rain predicted for the race, could be a very interesting race! might have to drink less than usual during the grand prix so i can actually remember all of it this time hehe

 

[Johnny Russian]

besides of course the Driver's championship there are also some battles for position in the championship lower down that could be interesting. if Hamilton (190 points) wins and Raikonnen (206) finishes 6th or lower Hamilton gets 3rd.

Button is 5 points behind Webber so he could overhaul Webber for 5th in the championship, and Rosberg is only 3 points behind Grosjean, so could get 8th in the championship. With Grosjean starting so far back it seems fairly likely.

 

[Jordi Casademunt]

Great lap by Fake Senna in Q1, impressive.

Fake?

It was a nice qualifying. Whoever wins the championship, I hope the race is good. Perhaps a surprise winner?
