how?

Nando backed off when he had another run

a sheepish interview with Lewser

Nando backed off when he had another run

oh. didnt realise he had another run. Infact, i thot he had it sealed as the bulls didnt really match his first time either.

[zeus2]

nando should have gone for another lap, he made it on time. Oh well I guess we'll have to go all out tommorrow, should be a good race.

[NJB13]

Would love to see a close up of the state of tyres. Nando V RB's

[Lithium]

I think we look good for tomorrow If Alonso takes Webbo at the start (very possible) and follows Vettel, the the tyre degradation might play a key part... as RedFOOLS don't seem to be THAT much faster here. I feel Alonso might take Vettel during the pitstops, like he took Button in Monza.

[Hornet]

Very disappointed.

The bulls somehow manage to improve on their 2nd run.

Wonder if we could had we went on for a 2nd run, but I notice a slowing down McLaren in front of Alonso after he completed his final run so I guess Alonso would have lost time anyway.

[Stormsearcher]

yes. it does seem like we have a good chance in the race. The start will be crucial. Webber HAS TO muff it, hopefully hold back lewser a bit. It should be a battle between vettel and Nando. That will be fun. Throw in Felipe sneaking into third ahead of webber and lewser and it will be a perfect weekend.

Did Massa deliberately screw up Q3? He was 4 tenths faster than Q2. Did he want to prove a point in q2 and then do a slow lap in q3 because he doesnt want to help Alonso?

[Greig]

Alonso seems happy enough with 3rd in the press conference

Ridiculous.

Yes, yes he did just to annoy you

Why login to post such utter garbage, last warning for you

[Stormsearcher]

it was a good lap by him.. so maybe thats the best he could get out of the car. Plus they are not that much faster so it could still be a good race for us.

dude. get real.

[Greig]

LOL Schumi blocking Rubens, was he sleeping?

[Raz]

OH RUBBISH TWOBENS!
nothing personal - YEAH RIGHT!

[Stormsearcher]

Brundle's comment on Rubens' complaining
"YOU HELD ME UP FOR 5 YEARS!"

priceless

[Lithium]

Nando backed off when he had another run

I think that was a wise decision. He would not have beaten those RedFOOLS anyways, and I think he prefers to stay out on those soft tyres 1 lap longer tomorrow and possibly jump the car(s) ahead of him.. That 1 lap that he saved might be critical, as the tyre degradation will certainly be pretty bad...

[JRX164]

Just too bad. Hopefully Alonso has a good start. Think it should be an interesting race.

[NJB13]

Just watched the last few minutes again. Fernando's lap was so under control and the car looked great. Both RB's were on the ragged limit.
Race is looking good for us.

[Greig]

OH RUBBISH TWOBENS!
nothing personal - YEAH RIGHT!

He was clearly blocked though, maybe its personal with MS.....

Still least he said sorry this time and not just for PR (Hungary)

Yeah good point, 3rd should be better than 2nd especially with fresher rubber and the f-duct

[Raz]

but he made it to Q3.. so he shouldn't have complained - really, everyone knows that mate

oh please.

Makes no difference really does it, you still need to get out the way

[Raz]

well.. let's agree to disagree on that.. still.. we've got the race tomorrow..

[Greig]

well.. let's agree to disagree on that.. still.. we've got the race tomorrow..

So you don't think he should get out the way, despite the blue flags telling him a driver is on a hot lap behind him?

If Lewis done it to MS would you disagree? I doubt it, I imagine MS is close to a penalty for not moving over.

[Kyss4k]

Massa really it up. I like him, but is not driving well these days.

Good thing is, that Fernando starts from the clean side, while Webber from the dirty one and here it is very, very dirty. So Alonso will overtake Webber on the start and due to Red Bull's top speed, Seb will fall on the second straight. I smell Victory.
