It doesnt work thats why. If there was no change last year... well rbr would still walk it

[alex1369]

Well that does mean they do a better job than other teams unfortunatley... plus you make your own luck.
When i was a MSC fan in the Ferrari days i was happy, and the others were bitching... now its the other way round, others happy i b*** cuz HAM doesnt win..
I also dont like that Seb is always at the front... but what can you do. You cant win always. So i hope Merc is on a big push now.
The problem is Seb doesnt have a consistent chaser/rival every race they change positions and thats why he builds a gap with those position changes. So i hope Merc has found its form and solved the tyres to hunt him down..

Yep. But they'll blame Pirelli.

And Pirelli will blame the debris

@SkySportsF1: Pirelli's Paul Hembery '100%' sure debris was to blame for the punctures in #BelgianGP P2 http://t.co/q0dBCG7Jpi #skyf1

Pirelli is a joke really!

No, not really.

[SilverHAMBenz]

Don't know what to expect. Got clouds hanging over my head because I don't want a repeat of Silverstone mess... Hope Mercedes know what they are doing
Other than that, Van Der Garde/Caterham hadn't suffered from his crash. I read it was due to a tyre puncture, same for Alonso/Ferrari & Vettel/RedBull. Pirelli is having a nightmare of season but they only produced the kind of 'suspense' tyres the FIA was asking for...
p.s: Welcome @fqus! ;-)

This has been a busy week...

Im hoping for a good race. No strange blowouts and no team dominating.

It's dry at the moment but quite cloudy. Wouldn't be a surprise if it rained.

According to Mclaren we might see rain in qualifying

The coverage is boring without BBC 5 live F1

Impressive lap by Vergne!

[Vlad-SRB]

Indeed! But, it's so obvious that Merc/Red Bull are sandbagging.

Why is Vettel allowed to continually cut a corner, well infact create his own.

[iceman1]

@andrewbensonf1: Rain in 20 minutes, according to the teams' weather forecasts.

Why is Vettel allowed to continually cut a corner, well infact create his own.

I don't get this at all. The rules are crystal clear, they were enforced quite harshly on Grosjean in Hungary and they are usually enforced in the feeder series as well. What is forbidden isn't just to overtake outside the track, but to "exceed track limits and gain an advantage". All four wheels outside the white lines is "exceeding track limits", and maintaining higher apex/exit speeds is "gaining an advantage".

If that's how it's going to be, they should delete lap times in practice/quali and hand out warnings/penalties in the race. Rules are rules and it feels that some are pushing their limits to unfair extents.
