2010 Formula One World Championship

Vettel looks the number 2 driver at the moment...

Will be interesting to see how quickly he can get back on par with Mark. You can see he's hating it!

He was pissed off in the after race interview! Yesterday Vettel pulled out the "traffic" excuse in the post qualy interview. He had no excuses today. Soundly beaten again. I have doubts that Vettel is the next MSC. Or is it the case that people just underrate Webber?

[purch]

Really looking forward to the Turkish Grand Prix this weekend. Webber going for a hat trick.

Vettel has changed the chassis that he's used for the first 6 races. Goodbye Luscious Liz, hello Randy Mandy:

Can't see the Istanbul track being conducive to lots of overtaking, although Turn 8 is about the only recent good thing I can think of that's been done to a modern F1 track. Regardless, the relative pace of Webber and Vettel should make interesting viewing.

I really feel that there is a great deal of driver tension that is being kept well under wraps at Red Bull.

I believe Vettel clearly thinks he is (or should be seen as) the teams number one driver. He's not liking the fact Webber and Kubica are being touted as the hot drivers of the moment instead of himself.

Interesting to see whether the supposed chassis fault was responsible for Vettel's somewhat poor showing in the past couple of races...

Really looking forward to this race. Will McLaren, Ferrari or Mercedes be able to close the gap to Red Bull (as their press releases have been suggesting they will by mid season)?

Just as an aside, if last year's points system was still in place then the current standing after 6 Rounds would be (if I got my calculations right):

1. Vettel 32
2. Alonso 31
3. Webber 30
4. Button 27
5. Kubica 24
6. Massa 24
7. Hamilton 24
8. Rosberg 22
9. Schumacher 8
10. Sutil 7

Compared to the current points system:

1. Webber 78 (extra victory puts him ahead of Vettel)
2. Vettel 78
3. Alonso 75
4. Button 70
5. Massa 61
6. Kubica 59
7. Hamilton 59
8. Rosberg 56
9. Schumacher 22
10. Sutil 20

That makes 8 drivers within a single win of each other in the old system too = STILL VERY CLOSE AT THE TOP!

[purch]

Not a good start to Turkey for Mark Webber.

- Blown engine in P2
- Throttle problem at the start of P3 which lost him about 20 minutes out of the hour.
- Three spins in three laps at the end of P3.

= not feeling very confident about qualifying.

Vettel looks untouchable at the moment.

[Cambridge Clarrie]

He'll be right. There's no doubt the Red Bulls have the pace. I expect another front row lock out.

[purch]

Another Webber Pole..that's 3 in a row! FANTASTIC!

Vettel in 3rd but on the clean side of the track. Gotta watch out for those F-duct McLarens down to turn 1.

Go Mark!!

[Cambridge Clarrie]

Great job by Webber. Will be very important to keep Lewis behind into T1. Vettel will be kicking himself for that lock up on his final lap. Should be an interesting race. Alonso will have his work cut out...

[purch]

I've got a feeling that McLaren are back as real competitors for the WC now. They've left Ferrari and Mercedes in their tracks and are now right on the heels of RedBull

[purch]

Fu*#$)(*&^%&*!!! This is stressful!

Fantastic race. I hope it stays this way.

Vettel is an idiot and has now not only ruined his race but his team-mates aswell

[Q.]

Vettel - you peanut!

[the wonder elephant]

Vettel - you peanut!

reminds me of another certain arrogant german f1 driver WADH as ag would say

[mickey]

Now the Mclarens want to race each other and almost crash......... whats going on in Turkey???

[mickey]

Webber 3rd and keeps the championship lead

[Cambridge Clarrie]

Webber will handle the pressure much better than Vettel.

[devilsadvocate]

Webber will handle the pressure much better than Vettel.

Vettel

how's his form with the loopy signals as he was walking off?

It was YOUR FAULT SEBASTIAN.

What a jerk off.

[Q.]

Very diplomatic of you Mark

[Cambridge Clarrie]

Yeah, you could see Lewis saying to Mark 'What was the dickhead thinking'
