2013 Formula One Chinese Grand Prix

[Dmitry Zaharov]

We had that sort of weather few years ago due to forest and turf fires near the city. I remember it was impossible to breath properly on the street, dry and scorched weather remained for about two weeks until it finally rained. Every day I was driving 300km from and into my aunt's house because it was impossible to live in the city unless you have an aircon in your apartment.

I reckon Lotus will be strong again this weekend.

 

[Bram Hengeveld]

Shows again how "Green" Formula One really is

 

[Gavin Hendley]

China is one of the most under-rated tracks on the calendar. We've had some great races over the last few years.

Webber has been strong here, he just needs a good qualy position.

 

[Hampus Andersson]

...and a good start.

 

[Howard]

This is one of my favourite tracks. Can't wait!

 

[Paul M Jones]

Not my favourite race but China always produces a great race.

Hopefully Vettel gets a taste of his own medicine when his engine blows.. and Webber wins?

MacLaren seemed to have stepped up their game, maybe their ready to catch up and challenge Merc after the 3 weeks gap. Although I do wonder if Red Bull's Webber will answer Vettel with something surprising.Can't wait for the weekend.

I think the performance step we saw from McLaren was mostly due to the track and not them finding a solution. The Sepang circuit allowed them to run a stiffer car so they can keep the aerodynamic in the small window they need it.
China should a little bit more like Melbourne because there are not much fast corners. I don't expect McLaren to fight any of the top teams in front of them in normal conditions and I don't think they found (or better build) a solution so far, but the extra race time they had until now should help of course.

And they call them selves journalists? As a fan, i'm over with this, it's Chinese GP. "Leave Mark alooonneeehh" Usually these come uncut but this version was cut several times, maybe there were other questions but at least half of them were about a single subject.

EDIT: Found almost the rest of it, this is half as long but many times more interesting:

 

[Hampus Andersson]

Full press conference was about 30 minutes.

 

[Shane Butler]

Here you go guys. A video to remind you of all the great races we have had in China. Certainly gets you in the mood for this weekend.

I know me too. Schumacher's last victory in F1. Seriously the grid just feels empty without the Schumacher name.

 

[Bram Hengeveld]

Omg, why on earth did I set the alarm in the middle of the night for Free Practice 1? Any other night creatures watching?

 

[Diego Lopez]

I'm up! Make yourself a coffee and you'll be grand.

Webber always makes me laugh, even at 4 in the morning. BBC reporter asked him a question about Helmut Marko and Vettel and Webber's response? "Pfft.. Helmut... next question please."

 

[Shane Butler]

Merc 1-2 atm. Their car looks pretty handy around here.

 

[Bram Hengeveld]

Problems at RBR are far from solved
