Well when Hamilton wins here Raikkonen always comes second

looks like it is gonna get even worse for hamilton http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/115039

Race-sim avgs (soft): MAS 1:22.359; ROS 23.054; HAM 23.107; RIC 23.152; HUL 23.203; PER 23.441; RAI 23.511; VET 23.694 #BBCF1 Massa's time is not directly comparable because he went out much later in the session and did a shorter stint, presumably with slightly less fuel. The Williams is definitely...

During FP2 i had a look at the soft tyre run laptimes. Average over 9 lap run for Hamilton was 1:23.107, Average over 8 lap run for Rosberg was 1:23.012 and average for Ricciardo over 9 lap run was 1:23.152. This suggests that it is very close between merc and red bull on long runs.

I think that this race has the potential to be a great race but only if both Mercedes have a similar pace. Should be an interesting situation at the start. I just hope they dont crash. If they do they may not be allowed to race again this season so the rest of the season would be ruined

bbc weather forecast suggests thunderstorms on saturday, so it seems we will have yet another wet qualifying

#F1 #BBCF1 #MELBOURNE Potential for 25+mm rain accumulation for race day albeit phasing of wettest weather with race window still uncertain.

Should make the race even more interesting

weather forecast for the weekend. Not likely to be any rain yet again

I remember vettel was closing on webber so i guess he had the faster car and would of overtaken and probably won had they not collided

mikhailv wrote:Its depressing. You cant count on 5 fingers a race win he has fought for. I can only think of Catalunya 2011. Just think how many he lost while cruising like Britain 2013, korea 2010.

Bahrain 2010, Australia 2010, Valencia 2012, wasnt cruising but should have won turkey 2010

they have been summoned to stewards same thing happened to grosjean in hungary. Depends whether the floor had suffered damage or just failed the test

it shows that the stewards still are not willing to do anything about the track limits problems. They completely ignored this then "Sources have revealed that drivers have been told that if they put all four wheels across the track limit lines at the last corner then they will have their laptime dis...

Vettel could win the championship without even doing anything. But imagine the controversy if the race is cancelled as the hearing is scheduled tomorrow they will already of had at least one practice session before it is decided so it could be a bit of a mess if it is cancelled.

I think Vettel has lead every lap ever raced in india so i expect him to win but im not sure why this track hasn't had any particularly good racing as it is a good track. Chance this may be the last Indian gp. I dont think it would be particularly missed. One less track for Vettel to dominate on.

Half points can be awarded after two laps. Full points after 75% race distance.

After all of this talk, it's going to be sunny

Yeah it probably will be but if it is to wet i guess they would just scrap the race
