2013 Malaysian GP: Race Thread

[Giallo 550]

Lewis hit the right pit stall this time.

[Katu]

meanwhile in the back of the pack, Jules just jumped van der garde in pits

[eugene22n]

Massa gets HUK in the pit cycle

[Greig]

Cmon Felipe

[Kyss4k]

About the same as everyone else

Slower than most of them.

[wacc]

Why is Massa only car with rain-light still flashing..?

Because he still uses the enginge map for wet...

No, that was only a joke.

[Katu]

Lewis hit the right pit stall this time.

too bad, first time was quite entertaining

[eugene22n]

Massa struggling with pace at the moment ... clear race track ahead for him.

[Meiga]

I don't know if this has been posted already, but apparently Alonso told the Spanish TV that he never expected such serious damage after a small bump with Vettel, and that since he was leaving the other Ferrari behind he thought it was worth it to go for another lap before switching to slicks. I did not see the interview, but it was reported somewhere else.

[khizerk]

Still thinking that finger boy and kimi will have a big lead coming out of this GP and RBR will be leading the championship by a big margin. *face palm*
All in a race where Ferrari should have been really strong.

Ah luck suckssssss!

[Greig]

Slower than most of them.

tyre deg

try not to be so emotional, i'm very superstitious person, however some numbers just don't work for me. maybe it's because i'm cold nothern person

Thanks for the advice; but, emotional is who I am and proud of it!
And, being from Canada, didn't work in trying to make me "cold northern person"...
must be the southern Calabrese blood!!

That's just Fernando's error.Pit crew was waiting for him,but he's selected to stay out.

[SilverSpeed]

Where are the days of the 'sack em all threads' eh .

[FerrariFanBoii]

So Red Bull have fixed their tyre deg?? And they've thrown it us?

[rico]

Can the hard compound last 30+ laps?

[Forzi]

Having the feeling that the 2nd and 3rd was because of us being the last to cross the line, before that lap we were in the lower half of the top ten.

[Kyss4k]

tyre deg

So as I said. High tyre deg, slow pace. Not what was expected.

[SinanOzerS]

Mercs is super fast.

[Katu]

probably just some Kimi in me speaking, finland just overseas

[Uzair Ahmed]

I hope both redbull crash

[fronaldo]

slower than macca?shame

[Forzi]

The only chance to get something more than 5th is to save the tires. We got an emty track infron, while the top 4 will be fighting in a few laps.

[Katu]

i still don't mind Lewis winning, or Mark, but not Beiber

[steelstallions]

Thanks for the post, but if he did say that, its RUBBISH. His wing ground up the track for a quarter of the lap with sparks flying like the fourth of July, a team with a bank of experts on their laptops monitoring all the aspects of the car and nobody, not any of them had the balls to say, your making a bad call, get in the pit and risk slicks a lap early. Its split milk, but i was yelling a the TV when he went past the the pit entrance. Maybe they should get their head out the laptop and watch the race on SKY instead!!!!

[stefa]

How come FM cannot match pace of JB?!?!?!?

[Greig]

So as I said. High tyre deg, slow pace. Not what was expected.

Deg is high for all due to the tyres, team said rain helped us in qual with pace.

[sagi58]

That's just Fernando's error.Pit crew was waiting for him,but he's selected to stay out.

And, I'm betting that, as a true professional, Alonso will take full responsibility for it!!

[scuderiafan]

why is Felipe so slow? I don't buy it is the car. it cant get that slow in a week. he must have damage or something.

[Kyss4k]

Mercedes, Red Bull and even McLaren (not sure about Lotus) faster than us in the race. Great preparation for the weekend.
