Very close with Vettel and Alonso today. Also Kubica had a great charge at the end.

Man Vettel was approaching Alonso in the end like crazy! More than half a second quicker in some of the laps.

Hamilton, Hamilton, Hamilton.. I know 40 grands is pocket change for him but damn that steering is way too delicate to be thrown away like that, not when its your damn fault!

Just keeps getting more and more interesting for the finalé here in Yas

The general rule is to not bring a burning vehicle into the pits!! He just shouldn't have put the fire out himself next to passing traffic on the course.

He should have pulled into the pits. They'd have been on that car in seconds, no harm no foul.

The commentators stated that he did the right thing. You may be more knowledgeable then they are though.

This

Plus This

Equals Bad Idea!

Kind of like trading a rarely seen 370Z for a commonly scene Mustang!

Doh!

Actually not sure if it's a rule!! I watched it again & the commentators just agreed with his actions. I thought they implied it was a rule!

Just messing w/ you on the Mustang. I come from a FORD family.

No worries. I'm quite pleased with the trade.

But really, unless he crashed into a fuel rig

, he'd have been better off in the pits!

I think it's a courtesy to other teams and their equipment.

I think they'd be more than happy to bill you for the one or two extinguishers used.

Ah, whatever. It's F1. F1 is wacky.

Anyone watch Suzuka today? How many of them lost their rear tires? Maybe those pit guys are getting lazy haha.

G37Sam · 10-10-2010, 07:44 PM

Haha good point, i think they should start using a torque wrench

sig11 · 10-10-2010, 08:25 PM

That was pretty odd. They some of the BBC commentators said something about a component overheating possibly being the cause of Kubica's car. I have no idea what that could be though...

antman22 · 10-10-2010, 09:44 PM

Overall a fun race to watch tho...I have f1 2010 for ps3 and I race the tracks that are upcoming. I just about died laughing when I saw that hamilton wrecked in practice on the right hander that I wrecked on a few times when racing suzuka...glad to know I'm not the only one to muck up at that spot.

m4a1mustang · 10-10-2010, 09:46 PM

So, is Korea still a go?
