Ricciardo crashed. Prolly the real cause of the yellow flags.

Nevermind. LOL BUTTON. LOL PEREZ.

AdrianSutil · Post by **AdrianSutil** » 27 May 2012, 13:41

Vergne turns into the guinea pig. Surprised he was the one to take the gamble as he was 7th.

Button fail.

If any of the top 6 crash out, Di Resta will be unrejectified.

Minardi Man · Post by **Minardi Man** » 27 May 2012, 13:42

Kovalainen seems to be causing chaos around him :lol:

Toro Rosso throwing away an easy 7th for no reason at all.

There was a reason, Red Bull.

Perez is just showing where Sauber could've been.. :cry:

S951 · Post by **S951** » 27 May 2012, 13:47

Kova should still get 12th as vergne still on inters i think

edit not enough time

Post by **DemocalypseNow** » 27 May 2012, 13:47

Notice how Perez, after being lapped, is remaining planted at the rear of the Webber train, and actually looks faster than Massa :lol:

Good race for Webber, though I would have preferred Rosberg to win though.

Ubik · Post by **Ubik** » 27 May 2012, 13:51

Not bad for a No:2 driver!

Post by **DemocalypseNow** » 27 May 2012, 13:52

6 different winners in the first six races. What next?!

QuickYoda41 · Post by **QuickYoda41** » 27 May 2012, 13:52

Not much action today, but still the close front made it interesting. 8-)

Amazing drive from Mark Webber! Those who say he's past his prime has just been proven wrong! Great job man! Great job!

Caterham scoring a point?
Massa winning a race?
No one winning 2 grand prix?
HRT not being slower than a donkey?

Sadly, I suspect that you might have been right there - I imagine that the parent team loved to have a comparison of intermediate to slick performance in those conditions.

And now Webber is tied with Vettel in the WDC for points (although Alonso is still, remarkably, three points ahead of both of them).

Well, we weren't too far from seeing the first two things happen (Massa had a very fine race, and at times you'd have to say that he was quicker than Alonso and Hamilton, whilst Heikki was fairly close to the pace of the Toro Rosso's in the earlier stages of the race).

Watching the podium, something has occured to me:

When was the last time a driver actually sang their national anthem? :lol:

That's not that unusual. Just watch any teamsports.

This year's Malaysian Grand Prix, I think.

Indeed. The place is soaked :evil:

Aerospeed · Post by **Aerospeed** » 27 May 2012, 14:22

Well whoever thought that putting Vergne on inters was a good idea is an idiot :lol:

Oh, and Caterham is 10th. Marussia was 10th, but they blew it by one position.

Six different race winners now??? Who next????

That would be pretty hard considering the Spanish national anthem has no lyrics.

Canada isn't it?

HRT usually do well there. This is their year.

TheBigJ · Post by **TheBigJ** » 27 May 2012, 14:31

Schumacher is traditionally good at Canada - I smell an epic win...

Shame the Beeb won't be covering it...

I find it hilarious that in the one year that Ferrari doesn't predict a world championship, Alonso now leads the world championship after six races.

FMecha · Post by **FMecha** » 27 May 2012, 14:45

So this broke the different-constructor. I missed the race, sadly. :oops:

Would have been even more peculiar if they won here, they haven't won here in 11 races now.

I hope those Pirelli haters are happy today with tyres that lasted 50 laps. Oh no, they will complain that there was no action.

LIKE THERE WAS ANY ACTION ON THE BRIDGESTONE DAYS!!!

A decent F1 race, could have been better with more rain but I think they would have red-flagged it as soon as someone crashed, so I'm still happy. You never expect an orgy of in-track passing at Monaco.

I was watching the England vs Norway friendly last night, and all of our players mumbled the anthem reluctantly, and half of theirs didn't sing along to the Norweigan one.
