Can't wait to see how Hockenheim will pan out though

True, and more specifically i've never seen him race well at Silverstone! I remember it took him a bit of time getting to grips without TC at the beginning of the season/testing... could very well be his driving style and pedal control and the way he likes his cars set-up.

I have a feeling he's one of them guys that got comfortable during the traction control era, and because of that, he's only just found his comfort zone without it. Throw in rain and the comfort zone goes bye bye.

Only speculation though, but I wouldn't be surprised

ARRGH STUPID ENGINE...

Shades of Schumacher in 2006 come to mind... amazing start from Massa and a great drive, and then the engine lets go 3 laps from the end...

Timo Glock's performance impressed me a lot though.

Sebastian · 08-03-2008, 12:35 PM

meh... Kubica 8th.. could be better...

Nice to see Kovalainen getting some success for once. He seems like a much nicer guy than Räikkönen (who is incredibly annoying - someone should teach him to open his mouth when he's talking so that it'd be a bit easier to hear what he's saying).

Ferrari suck at engine building.

stuh84 · 08-24-2008, 01:41 PM

True dat, but McLaren/Hamilton suck at tyre management so it works out in the end

Very nice circuit though, not as much racing as I wanted to see, but I love the circuit. Hope the Ferrari mechanic is alright though

^ Yea. That accident looks painful.

As much as i hate Alonso, it was a pity he ended the race damn early.

NOT!

Congrats to Vettel for his first pole position, and setting the record for being the youngest driver to set pole.

It's going to be a fun race tomorrow. Just have a look where the main contenders for the WDC are on the grid.

Pos. Driver Team Time
1 S. Vettel Scuderia Toro Rosso 1:37.555
2 H. Kovalainen McLaren 1:37.631
3 M. Webber Red Bull 1:38.117
4 S. Bourdais Scuderia Toro Rosso 1:38.445
5 N. Rosberg Williams 1:38.767
6 F. Massa Ferrari 1:38.894
7 J. Trulli Toyota 1:39.152
8 F. Alonso Renault 1:39.751
9 T. Glock Toyota 1:39.787
10 N. Heidfeld BMW 1:39.906
11 R. Kubica BMW 1:36.697
12 G. Fisichella Force India F1 1:36.698
13 D. Coulthard Red Bull 1:37.284
14 K. Räikkönen Ferrari 1:37.522
15 L. Hamilton McLaren 1:39.265
16 R. Barrichello Honda 1:36.510
17 N. Piquet jr. Renault 1:36.630
18 K. Nakajima Williams 1:36.653
19 J. Button Honda 1:37.006
20 A. Sutil Force India F1 1:37.417

So Lewis and Kimi are right next to each other on the grid. Perhaps somebody has payback on their mind after what went down last week @ Spa?

Uber Mega · 09-13-2008, 10:56 AM

Lewis made a big mistake with his tyres, damn. Vettel has a good chance to get clear here, as much as i love Heikki, his starts are usually piss poor. Hard to say how the race will pan out without knowing the conditions yet, but Lewis will be on the charge.

Bourdais is having some good runs recently as well, he was unlucky in Spa. Might be too little too late for a 2009 seat though.
