track layout aswell!

yes, all the info is there now

had to put that lap because most of the video results where F1 2011 game videos!

Edit: Forum 2, Me 0. It doesn't like art.

Now here is my fav track of the season
I want to see Ferrari fight for positions in Q3 rather than fighting to get into Q3
How much lap time can be posted in Q3 this season??

Hi, I don't completely understand your question but if you're refering to literally "how much laptime" then 107% rule but being in Q3 that's not llikely. If you're talking about the number of laps possible then I think the number of laps that can be done in any of the Q sessions is unlimited (correct me if I'm wrong, I don't know a lot about F1) so you could do as much as 39876 laps (or more) as long as you did them during the Q3 session (10 mins) hope that's what you mean

I'd love to see Ferrari going very fast here too, and agree nice track!

 

[Kartik Sri Harsha]

Last time Webber posted 1:20.981 in Q3 and due to new regulations in this season we are having lap times about 1.5 sec drift of 2011
So i was expecting the pole lap could be 1:22 low to 1:21 high this time
@Manuel Samaniego : Did you understand what i said now??

 

[Manuel De Samaniego]

@Kartik Sri Harsha

Yeah, no idea actually, I think also a low 1:22 perhaps. geez

 

[Kevin Cordice]

I think the qualifying time is going to be around 1.20:700 -1.21:300

 

[Hampus Andersson]

I think it will be 1.21´s

 

[Michael Brown]

Mark Webber is chasing history in this race. If he finishes fourth here he will be the first driver to score 5 consecutive finishing positions that aren't 1st place. Currently he is tied with 3 or 4 drivers that also have 4 consecutive finishes.

He also finish 4th in 2011 can he do it again, only time will tell

 

[Michael Brown]

Drivers with 4 consecutive finishes (that aren't 1st):

Nelson Piquet in 1987: 2nd
Michele Alboreto in 1992: 7th
Heinz-Harald Frentzen in 1997: 3rd
Mark Webber in 2011: 3rd
Mark Webber in 2012: 4th (and still going)

 

[Hampus Andersson]

Maybe he'll fly under the radar this year as in 2010,

 

[Bradley Vanian]

I sort of hope Mark gets 4th, just so he beats that record....

.... and then wins the next 4 races

 

[Chris Jenkins]

I'm hoping Hamilton pulls out a win next weekend. It's long overdue.

 

[Kartik Sri Harsha]

I hope Seb continue his win of bahrain and extend lead in WDC

 

[Hampus Andersson]

He was so close last year

Gearing that was the problem. To short so he could not pass Vettel in the DRS zone.

 

[Kartik Sri Harsha]

The Soft and hard as the choice was Correct due to Circuit conditions

Previously we have 4 pit stop for this race last year and i guess it could be a 5 stop this time and i think that medium and Hard could be the choice for Spain because soft could be a problem due to the Tire window
What do you guys think??

The tires Pirelli will bring are Hard & Soft.
