The Official 2010 F1 Thread!!!!!!

I'm sure everyone was frustrated at the time. No need to take it personally.

[Hick]

But some people did throw trash. I was at the race too, it was upsetting but it was Michelin's fault.

I do remember seeing someone throw a full bottle of water on the track and Rubins running it over. If some jerk threw a beer over the front straight and hit a driver in the head (Massa 09-ish) it could of been deadly.

I dont blame Webber for his comments, the guy is outspoken and has more of a personality then most F1 drivers (read: not KimBot 5000)

[Hick]

On another note, if the race finishes the same as it did this past weekend at Brazil; Vettel Webber Alonso, then the points put Vettel in second.

Alonso: 258
Webber: 256
Vettel: 256

I think Vettel has the tie breaker having more wins and will take second place from Webber. If Vettel really dislikes Webber then i dont see why this would be out of the question.

It was the year of Indygate. You had 100,000+ fans that had come from all over the world to see a race. There was no race, just a parade for Bridgestone tires. Fans got upset & pretty restless. The Indiana State Police were brought in by the dozens to thwart off any potential riot (and there WAS potential...you could feel it). Webbers comment to the press was essentially "Huh. Throwing trash & turning violent. It's what I expect from the Americans."

I personally lost $1000+ on the weekend (I took a group out). I didn't throw any trash or punch anyone. His comment didn't sit too well with me.

You didn't, but others did.

True, a few did. I'm just not sure where we got the stereotype as trash-throwers. The violence one I get.

I still don't like him. I'm still pulling for Vettel.

Any predictions on what lap Alonso's engine expires?

maybe he wasn't too far off the mark then. i wasn't there but had friends who went, never knew a riot was imminent. i mean i'd expect that at a NASCAR race but not F1.

As for 2010 WDC. I'm rooting for either of the RBR drivers but Alonso probably has it in the bag. RBR is doing the right thing by no team orders IMO.

My buddy is holding onto hope that Alonso blows up, Vettel takes out Webber and Hamilton wins.

[z31maniac]

I'm hoping that Vettel takes Alonso and Webber wins.

But in reality, it's Alonso's to lose.

[Erick]

I want Vettel 1st, Webber 2nd, (insert McMerc driver here) 3rd, and Alonso 4th. If my horrible math is correct, this should lead into an epic ending.

Oh by the way, our F1 league made it into the Top 10 leagues now :D

I'm hoping for Webber. Been a fan of his for years and he deserves it, certainly more than Vettel, the tosser.


I predict Alonso's engine goes Kablamo on lap 37.

[naplesE30]

Im pretty sure Alonso has a pretty fresh engine for this race. He used his high mileage engine in Brazil IIRC. (I could be wrong though)

[Hick]

Second practice Alonso is 0.001 seconds faster than Webber.... pack it up, its over
