Formula One 2010

personally, the whole thing about mark being slower was just silly.

both of them (along with hamilton) were trading fastest laps throughout the race. according to the commentary i heard, there was nothing about mark having to save fuel. there was a lot about hamilton and button having to becasue of the pace of the red bulls, and by extension that probably means both of the red bulls were in the same boat i think. im not sure thats an excuse.

furthermore, webber is entitled to hold his line whenever he goes into a corner, regardless of what other cars are doing.

vettel clearly thought he was past webber even though he was only halfway past, and he turned straight into webber in an attempt to cut him off. i suppose you could argue that webber didn't allow him racing room, but the thing that annoys me is that vettel obviously thought it was his god given right to be in front of webber, so he just assumed mark would move over, which he has no obligation to do - they are racing for the world championship lead afterall.

as an armchair critic, it was clearly vettels fault, and it came about due to his arrogance

Whole thing is pretty poor tbh, one of the reasons I stopped watching F1.

so the most exciting race in the past few years is why you turn off?

nah, this is definitely the better of the 2 scenarios. the other option is what used to happen at ferrari when schumacher and barichello were there, and barichello would yeild track position to shumacher all the time. that is definitlely a worse situation than what happened here.

it was also awesome to see the mclarens go at it for the lead after vettel spun out as well, great stuff.

i am really looking forward to the next race, although i think its in canada, which might mean a late night/early morning

Does F1 have any regulations like V8 Supercars where if you're past the "B" pillar, you've got right of way?

not sure to be honest, however the commentators were saying that webber was perfectly within his rights to hold his line

wow wow wow

Spoiler:

for those that dont know, webber just had a huge crash. its amazing that he has walked from that car.
one of the more scary and spectacular things i have seen in formula one

Was a pretty amazing crash. 15 years ago he would have been killed in that!

yep, insane

not the first time he has done that either, took off in a le-mans car in a similar fashion and ended up in the trees

his leman's one was even more insane in that he just took rather than run up someone elses ass

Webber proved that Red Bull does in fact give you wings
Might need to work on the flying technique thou

webber thought he was actually in the red bull air race
