Will be there for moto GP.. Can't wait..

Vettel beasted to pole again, it's his championship to lose at this point. Alonso was doing everything he could just to keep the Ferrari on the track, it's a shame he couldn't get farther up. Barring some crazy event, we're gonna see Vettel make history tomorrow.

The crooked finger will rise again lol.

Gotta love the sound. Downshifting like 5 gears at a time too, so many blips in so little time lol.

So who else thinks that Red Bull was hiding some sort of trickery that they implimented for the last few races. You don't just gain that sort of speed by trying harder. I know there's that rubber nose thing they've been talking about.

It's also too bad that they decided to schedule it during the NASCAR finale. I hate NASCAR with a passion, but the majority of America loves it.

They like most teams, are implementing new changes to work inline with the 2013 season, and Newey is a god when it comes to new parts

So I don't doubt that what ever they have done has helped substantially. Redbull are renowned for their downforce so this could be also why they are performing well at the circuit.

Call me crazy, but I miss the blown diffuser set up of 2011

They just sounded so dirty on downshift.

It sounds like they were able to manage the traffic out there. I drive by the track for work at times and its just a two lane road out there, I figured it would be jammed up for hours.

Here we go!

How's Ferrari's form with the 'gearbox fix' to put Alonso up into 7th on the clean side of the track! Seems to have done the job.....

Hamilton looks to be on a war path!

R_E_L · 11-18-2012, 02:19 PM

Yeah Hamilton's been the only one who has been able to bring the fight to Red Bull. I just don't get why he would want to leave McLaren, boneheaded move IMO.

There was an interesting interview with Martin Whitmarsh where even he was completely confused by the decision. I can see where a change of teams would be something good for development (not having experienced any other team in his career) but I reckon by midseason next year he will be kicking himself when he is sitting around midfield.

DRS works nicely at this track
