Re: Formula 1 General Chat & Discussion

See the break of no departed not beneficial for some racers! Judging by the false start and terrible accident! Thank God nobody was hurt! The question with the winner was dropped from the very beginning! But in the middle of the leaders of the struggle was from the beginning to the end! The intrigue remains!

Re: Formula 1 General Chat & Discussion

Pastor Maldonado has lost his third place in grid after being penalized for blocking Nico Hulkenberg during qualifying.
So Raikkonen will start 3°, Perez 4° Alonso 5°, Maldonado 6° and Hamilton 7°; Grosjean 8° Unchanged the front row

I think the struggle is still ahead! And for Alonso it will not be a cakewalk!

Re: Formula 1 General Chat & Discussion

I think that this year, surprises apart, Alonso will have no difficulty to win the championship.
All the major opponents seems to have lost the compass.

The next 3 gp will confirm us that or may be change all the cards on the table (but this second possibility is very remote).

good luck Alonso, this is your Ferrari Year.
Now or Never

Re: Formula 1 General Chat & Discussion

Strange qualifying at Spa today
Button takes pole after 3 years (very fast in every sector, a fantastic lap)
It is also Sauber's first front row start since 1999. Good job for Kobayashi and Perez.
Raikkonen fast in second sector; but the Finn lost time in the two other sectors
Alonso fast in 1° and 3° sector but too slow in 2° sector(never under 48 sec)
Hamilton and Vettel with some problems; maybe they had a not good setup today.
but tomorrow everything could change

Qualifying results
1. Jenson Button McLaren-Mercedes 1m 47.573s
