omodapson: I can't help but laugh at Hamilton. He still sees himself as a Mclaren driver. lol! He just Pit at his old team for tyre change...Hehehe that was hilarious! Tyre management would be huge today! This race no sure for anybody! Pole position means nothing really |

Just a rhetorical question actually the team must have their reasons I'm sure Vettel Wins the Malaysian Grand Prix |

Good one SV though his hot head could have cost the team greatly Loss of both cars and constructor points We have not yet seen the last of this rivalry |

A-40: I think it had to do with the engines and fuel management |

Sebastian Vettel's race engineer Rocky: "Good job Sebastian, looks like you wanted that bad enough. Still, there will be some explaining to do."
Agressive Seb! |

Mixed feeling race...SV may pay the price of his hot-headed attitude next time, Mercedes managed to control their two drivers....though not nice to watch when faster driver is asked not to race...even as i'm a massive LH's fan |
Re: FORMULA ONE (F1 2013) Official Thread For 2013 Season by biolabee(m): 10:54am On Mar 24, 2013 |
I agree .... this rivalry is not over, it will blow up again.. somewhere else 1049: |

Vettel won the race, no doubt his team is pleased. However, he could have caused them both the race so like his team engineer said "you have a lot of explaining to do". Basically, you can only be so lucky. Teams don't need their drivers racing themselves in that way. Hope we don't see that nonsese again from vettel. I hate him anyway, so didn't change much. As per Mercedes; the team cocked up and gave Hamilton less fuel. If they then let rosberg pass him, it wouldn't be fair for Hamilton seeing how he had been faster than rosberg until they asked him to save fuel. Webber isn't pleased at all. Rightly so. |

Red Bull team boss Christian Horner tells Sky Sports: "They took it into their own hands, which was uncomfortable for us - we gave them instructions to hold station but Sebastian took it into his own hands to win the race - he wanted to win. Mark Webber, who finished second: "The first part of the grand prix went very well for us. In the end we got the right strategy and after the last stop the team told me to turn the engine down. Seb made his own decisions and will have protection as usual. I turned my engine down and as we know he's a quick pedaller."
Sebastian Vettel issues an apology to Mark Webber: "I want to say sorry to Mark. He was trying to save the car and tyres, but I took a lot of risk in passing him when he was trying. I didn't ignore that, but I shouldn't have done it." Driver Standings updated https://www.nairaland.com/1205552/formula-one-f1-2013-official/2#14795228 |

Mark Webber is such a diva! He should chill with the pity party already! Not condoning Vettel's behavior but for all his agidi the race was still Webber's to lose!! Vettel just wanted it more and I can understand why! 2 pole positions with no wins woulda been bad for his psyche Note to Alonso: Know when to be aggressive and wait your turn! Dude overtook Massa at the start and got greedy! His reward is 22pts behind Vettel already puts him under pressure to perform in China |

@A-40, I will send your post to the scudereria team |
Re: FORMULA ONE (F1 2013) Official Thread For 2013 Season by aieromon(m): 1:47pm On Mar 24, 2013 |
I really don't blame Vettel for his hunger to finish first. They did great(both drivers) and should sort themselves out before the next race. I hope this stunt doesn't backfire. |
Re: FORMULA ONE (F1 2013) Official Thread For 2013 Season by aieromon(m): 1:50pm On Mar 24, 2013 |
A-40: Lesson well learnt. Its back to the drawing board. |

biolabee: @A-40, I will send your post to the scudereria teamHehehehe my belle just dey sweet anyhow as Alonso crash for lap 2! Dude went kamikaze needlessly it was his gra gra that made him crash into the back of Vettel and break his wing! Had he stayed 2nd he woulda been in a much better position now |

I like Vettel, but my affinity for him doesn't mean I will try to excuse his actions. This was needless and senseless competitiveness in just the 2nd race of the season. Even noted "win at all cost" Schumacher saved his gamesmanship for when it was really necessary. As regards Webber being a diva for his blunt but truthful reaction. News flash, every F1 driver has made similar complaints when they have been on the receiving of bad luck. They are all ego filled, Lewis, Felipe, Fernando, Kimi, Jenson e.t.c. In fact Sebastien is an even bigger diva than most when shit hits him. It was so hilarious to see Lewis pull in the Mclaren pit lane, guess his heart is still there. Just like when Button pulled into the Red Bull pit lane in 2011 Alonso wins the dunce hat for the day. What a Maldonado/Grosjean 2012 type decision to stay out and not fix his wing immediately. He could easily have taken out others and caused serious carnage. |

The one still pales to his comments in 2010 when he said nothing can stop him winning then; focussing on Webber he forgot about SV who stole it from two of them E dey happen |

lolz @ HAMILTON .....choi i would have helped him remove his tires and if possible suck out most of his fuel b4 giving him d ticket for illegal pitting. Itz still early days for f1 competition, though they shouldn't give Vettel space to dictate cos they knw what he's capabl of! |

A-40:ignorance.webber was asked to turn his engine down because the principal wanted both cars to finish in good condition.vettel was specifically asked to maintain the current position but he decided to disobey and put 46points and the constructor's championship at risk all because he wanted more points for himself.thats selfishness. rosberg was in a similar situation.hamilton was asked to slow down so as to conserve fuel.rosberg wanted to overtake as he felt he was going faster to which the principal responded "lewis can go faster as well".and what happened?rosberg obeyed 2 Likes |

aieromon: I really don't blame Vettel for his hunger to finish first. They did great(both drivers) and should sort themselves out before the next race.the stunt will surely backfire because i dont see webber obeying any future instructions.now its going to be more of every man for himself.there's just 26points between them and their closest rivals in the constructors championship.i doubt they'd win that this year.it was apparent webber didnt accept vettel's apology and he was certain vettel will not face any discipline from the team managers. |
Re: FORMULA ONE (F1 2013) Official Thread For 2013 Season by biolabee(m): 8:43pm On Mar 24, 2013 |
Delafruita: True.. its early days and he would still be ahead anyway He did not see the big picture and nearly jeopardised 43 constructor points |
Re: FORMULA ONE (F1 2013) Official Thread For 2013 Season by A40(m): 12:18am On Mar 25, 2013 |
Delafruita:Abeg shut up! Webber did not exactly give up his spot meekly if not there wouldn't have been such a fierce battle for positions in the end Vettel was wrong but Webber's whining and sulking was just as annoying to watch montelik: I like Vettel, but my affinity for him doesn't mean I will try to excuse his actions. This was needless and senseless competitiveness in just the 2nd race of the season. Even noted "win at all cost" Schumacher saved his gamesmanship for when it was really necessary.

He coulda still won that race if he tried hard enough |

It can only get better for my man Hamilton, right decision to leave McLaren, they are flop as usual, i feel for Button. |

A-40: pls let me just forget about this useless race. i came home, waited 2 hrs for the race while drinking Red Bull (ouch!!!) and within the second corner of the race, it was all over. as for Vettel move, oh well, i guess the gloves are off now at RBR, lol! Ham tried sha, right now he is showing the whole world that he made the right choices.........hopefully it will last the whole season. |
Re: FORMULA ONE (F1 2013) Official Thread For 2013 Season by omar22(m): 9:06am On Apr 11, 2013 |
Alonso is experience to know that he would lose downforce but doesnt want to end up at the back of the pack, Ferrari are experince enough to know that they would get flagged. Another brain fart by Ferrari but Alonso thought the WDC is at the end of the Malaysian GP.... its a marathon not a sprint. |
Re: FORMULA ONE (F1 2013) Official Thread For 2013 Season by omodapson(m): 8:05am On Apr 13, 2013 |
Impressive from Hamilton. His first pole for Mercedes, hope he records many more. He's just been fantastic this race week. |
Re: FORMULA ONE (F1 2013) Official Thread For 2013 Season by A40(m): 6:58pm On Apr 13, 2013 |
^^ Hamilton & Mercedes own that track really! They have massively improved and they look like they could push the Bulls and Raris and be competitive Horrible weekend for Red Bull I don't remember ever seeing them so clueless! Vettel could only make 9th and Webber is last on the grid If Alonso like make he do aseju again! This race would still be about who manages their tires better |
