2012 Formula One Indian Grand Prix

Hamilton changing all 5 wheels Tires and steering wheel.

That's what I call full service

No further action taken for the Kobayashi and Maldonado incident.

I guess India gets the price for the most boring race for the 2nd time....

 

[Chris Jenkins]

Lets hope that floor problem on Vettel's car gets worse!

 

[Xosé Estrada]

At this momment Vettel car is illegal and won't pass technical survey.

In theory they should have to pit to fix it...

 

[Chris Jenkins]

I thought it was legal up to a certain amount of wear.
If it goes below a certain thickness it's illegal.

 

[Metalfreaky]

I don't belive it's illegal. As Chris said they can have a certain amount of wear on the floor

 

[Chris Jenkins]

Urgh! See you in 2013!

I think that Vettel just caught something from the track and got stuck there for a short period.
None the less, phenomenal drive by Vettel. He was fast, consistent and controlled the pace from start to the end. Sad to see that Webber had an issue by the end of the race and that Mclaren found their balance towards the end of the race.
Senna had a fantastic race too, he was driving very smart and managed to get into the top 10 after a bad qualify.

I think I now understand why Ferrari said that Perez isn't mature enough to drive for Ferrari.

Been racking my brain trying to figure out what could cause such sparking. It was clearly skidblock against tarmac, not something stuck between the plank and tarmac.. I'm thinking more aero, something wasn't working for a while in the right side, where in normal situations the front ride height isn't linear to airspeed.. Now if somethings blocking some aero channel or element in the front wing... Conspiracist in me would say active suspension but that's far fetched.. A bit weird that the problem just went away, could the skidblock detach?

This is Vettel´s first 4 wins in a row! Congratulations!
And to the people who are always complain about how boring the races are, sorry folks. This is Motorsport, not an entertainment show...

Booring. Good job by cheating team (you know what team it is).

 

[Bradley Vanian]

Booring. Good job by cheating team (you know what team it is).

So one driver leads the whole race and that means that team cheats and makes the whole race boring ?

There are 23 other drivers on track and 23 other positions to fight for.

 

[Xosé Estrada]

I don't think any team cheated, RBR did a great job.

And indeed the only interesting fight is not only 1-2

 

[Michael Brown]

It was better than Korea that's for sure. Personally I'm more excited about Ferrari staying ahead of McLaren than Alonso trying to beat Vettel.

 

[Markus Neumann]

Definitely better than Monaco and Korea. It's a shame Button managed to get back ahead of Alonso on lap 1 after he was already past, because otherwise he might have been able to overtake Webber much sooner and haul in Vettel. Alonso actually might have had the pace to win, he was decreasing the gap to him pretty quickly after he was finally past Webber and also did a faster fastest lap than him.

 

[cruyff]

Yeah, during the 10 final laps Vettel had around the same pace as Alonso, but at the start... he was divine as usual. I'm really starting to think that Vettel might actually take it, though a gearbox failure or a puncture will still give it to Alonso.

Idiot.

Vettel fanboy...

They are using a very 99.99% similar exhaust sytem to what they had last year, that is why they been so supreme lately, even though EBD was banned the FIA clearly forgot how to complete ban something. shame really.

So, its official: Lewis Hamilton and Jenson Button out of the championship race.

If Red Bull gets both cars on the podium next week, they are the official 2012 WCC champions! Hows that for a stupid drinks company, eh Lewis?
