Shocked he is waiting that long tbh. Wonder who they will get in now for Vettel to bully?

Re: Formula 1 2013 season
 

Kimi is the fav, shame Vettel wasn't leaving as i fear that is the only reason Webber left as they don't get on with Vettels attitude.

Re: Formula 1 2013 season
 

Maybe tempt Schumacher out of retirement again? 2 egotistical men with scant regard for team mates and other drivers.

Re: Formula 1 2013 season
 

Will never happen. I will fry my phone and eat it if that happens :)

Re: Formula 1 2013 season
 

Was being a bit tongue in cheek, but Schumacher and Vettel would make excellent team mates. Both desperate to win at any cost. Only a matter of time before Vettel rams someone off the track like Schumacher did.

Re: Formula 1 2013 season
 

Was I the only one cheering when I heard Vettel was out? No? Don't feel so bad now. Still disappointed that Mercedes are winning, but at least Vettel won't be scoring anything today. I'm happy. Makes a change I know.

Re: Formula 1 2013 season
 

Why is it a problem for mercedes to win?? Although owned by Germans with a German driver most of the production/testing and staff are british.. I'm quite proud of the British heritage and modern day involvment in F1 with most of the teams being based in the UK.

As for Vettel the whole crowd was cheering when he went off :rolleyes:

Re: Formula 1 2013 season
 

I was just pleased that Vettel retiring gave the others a chance to cut into his lead. Not sure why I don't like Mercedes.

Re: Formula 1 2013 season
 

That wasn't the teams choice thou if I remember correctly

Re: Formula 1 2013 season
 

The teams decided not to run in 2005, they formed up for the parade lap then all 7 teams on Michelins pulled into the garage at the end of that lap. That was track related when the indy people diamond cut the track and the one corner was causing the tyres to fail.

Re: Formula 1 2013 season
 

Didn't the tyre manufacture deliver the wrong tyres to the race by mistake and when it was realised they didn't have enough time to deliver others?

Edit.

Looks like you're right Kimmy.

Re: Formula 1 2013 season
 

I remember watching it live... it was stupid though as a simple chicane could have been installed the night before and all the teams would have been happy, but the American obsession with banked high speed corners and someones bright idea to make the surface more aggressive backfired.

Teams fitting tyres wrong way round and under inflated - Pirelli

Didn't even know the tyres were handed!

Re: Formula 1 2013 season
 

Most tyres are handed mainly due to the tread pattern (designed to push water outwards and when reversed pushing water towards the middle of the tyre)

Slicks though can be handed due to construction techniques with the rubber overlaps causing the most issues like de-lamination.

can't wait for the race today, i do think di resta needs to get with a better team than force india they just make the wrong calls and it doesnt help him in anyway, i hope he goes to red bull at the end of the season

Not news really, I knew it was him back at the start of August.

Alonso, like him or not, has funded a Spanish cycling team who were on the verge of folding. Nice to see that he is prepared to help people out.

Re: Formula 1 2013 season
 

Boring,

I'm a F1 fan but Red Bulls dominance is driving me away, I've not watched one race to the finish this year.

All the changes they've made, DRS, the tyres, KERS. The more they change the more things stay the same.

Plus, I can't stand Vettel.

Re: Formula 1 2013 season
 

Ditto. For me, the only drivers I will back in F1 are Button and di Resta. No-one else is worthy of my attention. Webber is going, which is a shame. Can't blame him really after that farce with team orders earlier in the season.

Re: Formula 1 2013 season
 

The only team that's consistent is Red Bull, how on earth can the rest of the field either be so slow, inconsistent or have a team that makes amateur mistakes one would expect of HRT.

My example being Hamilton dropping out in Q2 in the Italian GP. It's amateur stuff from Mercedes. To see top teams being caught out like that is ridiculous. Vettel will coast today as usual and Button and Perez will continue to drive McLaren further down.

Re: Formula 1 2013 season
 

Yes, I think unfortunately we have the 2010's version of Ferrari and Schumacher. I just know I am going to be swearing at the TV later over him winning the title.

Re: Formula 1 2013 season
 

Next Season is going to be interesting to be fair.

A lot of driver changes.

I can see Alonso leaving Ferrari leaving them with two new drivers. Alonso then off to McLaren who in turn have dropped both Perez and Button in which they'll need a new driver. Still a possible jump to Ferrari for Vettel by taking Alonso's spot. Hamilton then signs for Redbull! How's that for deadline day Premier League?

Re: Formula 1 2013 season
 

Just count to ten Mark when that happens.:D

Re: Formula 1 2013 season
 

Alonso has already stated he will still be a Ferrari driver next season. However, I can see Vettel switching to Ferrari with Hamilton going to Red Bull. Would like to see Button and di Resta drive together in a decent car, maybe Mercedes could tempt both of them to sign there.

And yes den, I will try to count to ten. Ten thousand maybe.

Sounds like tyres are a problem again. Pirelli need to be dumped as tyre supplier to F1. Their tyres this season have been crap.

Re: Formula 1 2013 season
 

I wonder what would happen if you switched Vettel's car with Webber's....

Re: Formula 1 2013 season
 

Vettel would be crap. It seems that Red Bull are the new Ferrari. They could drive someone off track on purpose and get away with a slapped wrist.

Well it seems Vettel now has a 4th title in a row. Sad times for F1 again as its going back to the old days. Thank god next season will be very different and a different title winner. I reckon it will be Hamilton and Mercedes next year. They both have stated that they have been preparing for 2014 for ages and think its their year
