biolabee: really interesting...

Makes ferrari solid
Works both ways! It could be an advantage and a disadvantage the way I see it it just might play into Vettel's hands again especially when Alonso and Raikkonen have to engage in another sulk-a-thon

We've seen what happens when Alonso is paired with a driver with equal talent! Something has to give

And who said the Ferrari car is bad? Its one of the best on the grid!

I don't see the undue advantage being attributed to that Red Bull car! Remember they struggled in the early parts of the season but made adjustments after Vettel's Silverstone debacle

Alonso's strength has never been in qualifying! That's Hamilton and Vettel's forte. Give him the fastest car and he would still phuck it up! That Rari isn't built to qualify better its built to overtake!

Seb on pole, Rosberg 2nd Grosjean,Webber,Hamilton,Massa,Alonso

If I were Massa no way I'm yielding to Alonso now that I'm out with a point to prove and in the hunt for a team.

We can argue about how average the Rari is but how is Massa out-qualifying Alonso for the 2nd straight time at a crucial stage in the season like this?

All these phools that keep booing Vettel should know he is impervious to such chicanery by now. Maybe he would slip up if they actually cheer him

Just had a listen and it is definitely different from all the rest of the cars in that clip. Just like a few cylinders were being cut out at that point to stop wheelspin and improve traction maybe, the engine note can vary, purely if the team run mixtures different to save fuel/ power at any given moment. hence the exhaust note sounding different.
Seb could have got into a position where his car was so good chassis wise that turning down the engine still allowed him to be very quick.. Marks car went down the toilet, just when his lap times may have got quicker in the last race. Think about it, Redbull have found over 2 seconds on everyone else, there has to be a reason why, everyone seems to get on the defensive as if they are being accused of cheating.




Minardi puzzled by Vettel's Singapore supremacy

F1 veteran Giancarlo Minardi has opened a can of worms by suggesting Sebastian Vettel and Red Bull Racing may be been using some form of traction control in Singapore.

Vettel dominated the event around the Marina Bay Street Circuit and was in a class of his own en-route to another convincing victory that further strengthened his position in the 2013 F1 Drivers' Championship.

However, in a column on the official Minardi website - headlined: Singapore, What's inside Newey and Vettel's magic hat? - the veteran former team owner says he just cannot understand how Vettel was, at times, 2-2.5 seconds per lap quicker than team-mate, Mark Webber.

“Since I left Singapore, I've been keeping in my mind the 2.5 sec advantage of Vettel over his team-mate Webber and the other drivers,” Minardi writes. “By this statement, it's not my intention to devalue Vettel, who always manages his Red Bull the best way and I don't want even to jab at anyone, I just want to tell what I personally saw and heard during that three-day-event.

“According to my experience, I think that a 2.5 sec advantage each lap is really too much. It's like a three-generation-development gap, it's a huge gap. Furthermore, the time gap between Vettel and [Romain] Grosjean in FP3 and the Red Bull's driver and [Nico] Rosberg in qualifying was only few tenths. The German driver could have played cat and mouse on Saturday, anyway, [but] something is still not clear for me.

Korean GP

Vettel on pole for the 4th straight race

Hamilton 2nd,Grosjean 3rd Rosberg 4th Alonso 5th Massa 6th

Webber actually finished 3rd in qualifying but got handed a 10 grid penalty for hitching a ride with his BFF one too many times at the last GP

Its a certainty... they r fighting for second n kimi wants to end on a high...

Almost 80 points

He can seal it in japan if FA finishes lower than 8th

Victory no 34..... still a long way to 91


He may do it...will scudereria allow?

71? Schummie is on 91 wins! Don't know if he can match the number of wins but can he match the number of championships now that is a more realistic target.
Schummie did race for almost two decades so maybe if Vettel lasts that long we would see

The title is all but Vettel's now! Its either he clinches it in Suzuka or India

Unlucky Webber, poor him.

I see a lot of promise in Romain Grosjean. I wish he was the one going to Red Bull.
