How come GVDG is actually competent all of the sudden?

Jocke1 · Post by **Jocke1** » 25 May 2013, 12:25

It's incredible how high the cranes are lifting the cars (Bianchi's just now in Q1 and Grosjean's yesterday).
I just envision the kind of catastrophe it would be if some cable would snap and give way at that altitude.
I've never seen this before in previous years, why are they lifting so high?

Post by **Londoner** » 25 May 2013, 12:26

Di Resta not happy at all with his team.

Shizuka · Post by **Shizuka** » 25 May 2013, 12:26

Did di Resta say „bathplug it!” on the team radio?

Who knows? And to be honest, who cares?

I'm guessing it's because they increased the height of the catchfences or something like that.

Not all of a sudden, I called it already during FP2.

Jocke1 wrote:I'm watching Practice 2 right now and GVDG is on fire! Not literally.

I don't know why, but I saw something in his driving early that session. I knew he would be on it this weekend.

I really miss the retard version of him that showed up for the first four races

SeedStriker · Post by **SeedStriker** » 25 May 2013, 12:35

Where did VDG had all this speed?! Monaco, that's why we love it

Post by **Londoner** » 25 May 2013, 12:37

VDG on slicks! Time for heroes to be made!

SeedStriker · Post by **SeedStriker** » 25 May 2013, 12:37

Damn! VDG is going to risk it with slicks!!

AdrianSutil · Post by **AdrianSutil** » 25 May 2013, 12:37

Caterham going for slick tyres. Go on Geido! Be a hero!!!

FullMetalJack · Post by **FullMetalJack** » 25 May 2013, 12:38

GVDG going on slicks. Brundle's right, he's got nothing to lose, he might as well.

Shizuka · Post by **Shizuka** » 25 May 2013, 12:39

Guys, if vdG pulls this off, I'll be damn shocked.

AdrianSutil · Post by **AdrianSutil** » 25 May 2013, 12:40

VDG will have the most information on slick tyres. Anything better than P16 and I'll be delighted.

AdrianSutil · Post by **AdrianSutil** » 25 May 2013, 12:43

VDG P15. I'm delighted.

Post by **Londoner** » 25 May 2013, 12:44

Maldonado 16th.

Shizuka · Post by **Shizuka** » 25 May 2013, 12:45

Vergne in Q3. This is his chance to shine.

Alextrax52 · Post by **Alextrax52** » 25 May 2013, 12:45

Van Der Garde for IIDOTQ?

Shadaza · Post by **Shadaza** » 25 May 2013, 12:45

Maldonado :<

Gutted, also once again in mixed conditions Vergne smashed Ricciardo. Vergne clearly has "Wet Weather Warrior" as one of his driver traits.

Post by **kevinbotz** » 25 May 2013, 12:46

I love wet qualifying sessions.

SeedStriker · Post by **SeedStriker** » 25 May 2013, 12:46

VDG was only one minute away for the glory. But he defeated the Reverend, and this would be the best of Catherham all year. VDG for IIDOTR.

Shizuka · Post by **Shizuka** » 25 May 2013, 12:47

Absolutely, unless Vergne pulls another great lap in Q3

Piss off Sky, no-one wants to see an interview with the Glass of Milk, not after that Q2 session.

SeedStriker · Post by **SeedStriker** » 25 May 2013, 12:48

The spirit of Francois Cevert has come to replace Vergne only for this race.

Hey Cheer Up at least both drivers made it into Q2 which is more than can be said for the Glass of Milk

FullMetalJack · Post by **FullMetalJack** » 25 May 2013, 12:49

I'm still happy from Williams getting both cars into Q2 for the first time this season.

And that interview was worth three Di Restas.

Oh no. Please, not a Red Bull front lock-out.

I'm happy if it's Webber leading Vettel.

Paul Hayes · Post by **Paul Hayes** » 25 May 2013, 12:58

Got a little bit excited to see van der Garde go 6th for a few moments...

Surprised to hear it's Vergne's first trip to the top 10.

But Webber doesn't know how to get a good start, so Finger Boy will lead regardless.

Paul Hayes · Post by **Paul Hayes** » 25 May 2013, 13:01

So after all that, it was the widely-predicted Mercedes lock-out after all!

Post by **kevinbotz** » 25 May 2013, 13:01

Engine issues for Button.

Right, anyone wager a guess as to how long the train behind the Mercs will be after 5 laps?
