Was it wrong choice of tires?

Did I hear that Webber will be hanging his F1 suit after this season?

not surprise the Mercedes fell behind during the race cos they usually doesn't have any race pace...

If Raikkonen didn't got stuck behind Hamilton for couple laps.. he could fight for the win...

Predictions for Monaco are for a Mercedes pole. They wont suffer as badly with the tires on the slow speed street circuit. Im hoping it wont be too processional :)

Red Bull owner spent 45 min with Bernie hashing the tire problems/issues etc. Now Pirelli might make more changes by Silverstone!

With cooler temps and 2 stops it might not be a runaway for Mercedes. They are certainly the fave!

With heavy fuel load... they will have problem on tire wearing problem and lack of pace...

Good luck on them....

I expect Reb Bull will pit-in earlier than the Mercedes if they couldn't pass them.

I expect both Mercedes will not have race pace but Red Bull couldn't pass them thus just stay behind.

Thus they could pit in early to take advantage of coming early with fresh tire VS old tires for Mercedes...

I hope they won't pit-in at the same lap... :icon17:

Sscottfitz 05-26-2013 08:17 AM

Couple of big hits so far! Hoping Lewis can figure a way back to a podium finish - Mercedes seemed to have made some progress on addressing their "tyre fall off" issue.........(guess those special tire tests DO help.....) Nico looking strong so far.....

MX52Z 05-26-2013 08:18 AM

Wow, half time at an F1 race! I thought that was just in football.

OK, someone remind me -- does the overall alotted race time stop during a red flag period?

blackcherry20 05-26-2013 09:19 AM

I was talking about you this weekend! Autobahn stuffs... ;)

Auto cross coming up again in two weeks. Need to rest up, my courage is abandoning me! Lol

I thought that was a pretty good race. I was pulling for Nico and Lewis even harder than I normally do after Vettel made his comments in qualifying. That smug bastard assumed he would have no trouble dispatching the inferior Mercedes.

It's too bad Lewis had the pit issue, otherwise he could have finished on the podium.

Lewis did a very good job holding up the pack in the first stint too.

I just feel pity for Raikkonen which his race was ruined by Perez.... :shakes head:

I don't know if I'd blame that all on Perez. I know when I saw it, it looked like Kimi should have yielded but instead he decided to push Perez into the wall. Not saying Perez is totally innocent but just that Kimi should have yielded.

I'll let the video tells the story...

The reply of the incident starts at 0:45

I say Perez is at fault base on:

1) His front wing hadn't even passed the rear wheel of Raikkonen's, how can he say he was passing Raikkonen?

2) Raikkonen did chose a closer line than usual, however, it is a normal maneuver to close the door when defending position.

3) Perez, do you really expect others should slow down and open a gap for you to pass?

4) I would actually say Perez slammed his front wing into Raikkonen's rear wheel.

I say Perez is at fault base on:

1) His front wing hadn't even passed the rear wheel of Raikkonen's, how can he say he was passing Raikkonen? Initial contact was wheel to wheel

2) Raikkonen did chose a closer line than usual, however, it is a normal maneuver to close the door when defending position. Completely agree

3) Perez, do you really expect others should slow down and open a gap for you to pass? Completely agree

4) I would actually say Perez slammed his front wing into Raikkonen's rear wheel.

I guess we just see it differently.

I just like Perez's attitude of driving 11/10 all the time even if it means pissing off other drivers and teams.
