MRbrownJAY: bro, you are still doubting the strength of the Ferraris this yr?! as you can see, Alonso is always there when its needed of him.

tyre management is the deal these days.......and its going to remain like this the whole season.

as for Hamilton, we all saw how they faded during the last race....tyre management is not up to scratch with the Merc team.

montelik: Don't you know the Ferrari is a donkey, not a prancing horse. When Alonso is fast, its testament to his heroic ability, when Vettel does its because of Newey, Luck, superior car e.t.c.

montelik: ^^ Bulls*it. There will be GPs where he will need Webber to provide the assist (as Webber has done in previous years) and he can be damn sure no such thing will happen now. Horner is already claiming he will just let both guys do their own thing, which is an indirect way of him saying team spirit is done. If the WDC is tight this season like last year, he will need consideration and then he will be screwed.

montelik: Bull, Webber was running interference for Vettel at Interlagos. They pitted him unexpectedly and ended up putting him behind Webber who was running his own race strategy but he then changed tactics, to clear the way for him, before he pitted and let Vettel past. Its not just about allowing your teammate past. Its stuff like your team mate sharing performance information on a different set of tyres so as help your decision making e.t.c.

Darthmaul: I don't think Webber has openly helped Vettel secure any race win. Maybe he has but I seriously doubt it.
I think this championship would be equally exciting as last year's. I expect a lot of different winners in each race.

baby-boy:
If Redbull had put their weight behind webber in 2010 he would have won the title but RBR used Webber as a pawn to trick Ferrari and they fell for it... In Brazil they could have asked Vettel to let Webber win but no, in Japan the same but no.... Webber led Vettel on points into the last race at Abu-Dhabi but RBR used Webber as dummy and Ferrari / Alonso fell for it, because Alonso only had to finish in front of Webber to win the WDC but they forgot that they needed 4th place as well instead of Ferrari concentrating on their own race they were so wrapped up with what was happening to Webber, that when they called Webber in for a dummy pit stop, Alonso followed Webber in and came out behind Petrov, Kubica and Rosberg who Alonso had to pass to win the tittle.... They practically handed the title to Vettel but my argument were that Vettel/RBR had chance to hand Webber his first title but did nothing.....

A-40:

Webber was never going to be the main guy at RBR! Prior to joining them he had always been a journeyman and an also-ran! Vettel had more upside and had always been the faster driver

omar22:

Yeah but Webber was the Main man before David Coultard retired but the moment Vettel tried out as a reserve driver at BMW, they realised that they have a gem on their hand and also winning a race with Torro Rosso got Dr Marko to conclude that Vettel would be their new number 1 driver, but I agree with Baby Boy, no other would risk loosing everything and not back the leading driver. Ferrari acted like a desperate monkey, RBR saw it, and decided to threw them a banana, which they jumped at and fell short.

MRbrownJAY: Bahrein qualifying is not even on the way and Ham already got himself a 5 place grid penalty..... coupled with their tyre
degradation issues, it doesnt look like it is going to be a great weekend for the Hamster.
