Mexican? Mexicant.

Amazing race! The team should have shut up and let him drive!

[The Sleeping Giant]

Yep, as soon as they told him to be careful, he made a mistake. Should have been going hard for the win.

Great race, and good for the championship too.

If Vettel was half the driver that Kimi is, he'd have left the appalling comments about Narain Karthikeyan in his head and wandered off for an ice cream to cool down....and then he'd maybe have even offered some icecreams to the press!

[The Sleeping Giant]

He can't be blaming anyone else for that brain fade could he?

Interesting grid for the China GP.

Interesting grid for the China GP.

Incredible lap by Rosberg. With Vettel and Hamilton further back than usual it will make for an interesting first few laps.

Great to see Kobayashi qualify well. Sauber and Lotus have certainly taken massive steps forward.

[Q.]

Webber's fourth consecutive fourth place. Get on the podium!

[The Sleeping Giant]

Doesn't need to. Just keep accumalating points. He is now 3rd in the championship.

A news feed account for Mark Webber on twitter is providing a link to rumours of him joining Ferrari next year.

Yeah just saw the same on Yahoo 7

Very interesting!! I dont think he's ever going to win a championship with Redbull. Vettel has the wood on him anyway so why not go to Ferrari and have a crack with them?
Problem is Alonso is their number 1 so he's going to number 2,again, just with a different team.
Silly season has begun already!

[The Sleeping Giant]

Would love to see him in a ferrari, even for 1 season.

[tigerpie]

Not sure that Ferrari can compete with Redbull and Mclaren at the moment.

Alonso is a very good driver and he cant seem to get any pace out of it consistently, therefore Webber would struggle!

[The Sleeping Giant]

A car can improve very quickly though.

[tigerpie]

Legally?

18 years ago today we lost the great Ayrton Senna

[tigerpie]

now there's a bloke who could drive. Pass cars at turn 1....now he could make a car go quick quicker than anyone else...Webber should take a leaf out of his book.
Vale the great man!

Bit unfair on Webber. Senna was just pure talent. Would have been great to see Senna and Schumacher race.

Unfortunately they would both cop lengthy bans if they raced each now. Would be a great spectacle although not sure who would give way at turn 1

Romain Grosjean of Lotus was again fastest on the third and final day of Formula 1 testing at the Mugello circuit.

The Frenchman clocked 1 minute, 21.035 seconds on Thursday, 0.232 seconds ahead of two-time defending world champion Sebastian Vettel of Red Bull, both with Renault engines.

Fernando Alonso of Ferrari was third.

Grosjean was also fastest on Wednesday, and two weeks ago he and Lotus teammate Kimi Raikkonen each finished on the podium at the Bahrain Grand Prix.

Alonso had trouble early on when he drove his F2012 into a barrier, causing damage to the front wing and corner of the car, although he was uninjured.

Daniel Ricciardo was just quicker than more senior countryman Mark Webber, the Ferrari-powered Toro Rosso clocking 1:21.604 to Webber's 1:21.997 in his Red Bull.

These were the first in-season tests in Formula 1 in four years.
The next race is the Spanish Grand Prix on May 13.
