I find it interesting that both the red bulls have the DRS activated through the whole last bend where all the other drivers are not activating it until the car is pointing straight. Just a testament to how much more downforce they are achieving than the rest of the field.

 

^ But Vettel's KERS is still broken . . .

 

Red Bull has a year less experience with KERS than the rest of the frontrunners Dana, and it's not even their system ...which makes it even more tricky. It's crazy that they can dominate the front row without even needing the KERS, and if they can maintain that same gap for a few laps they won't have to worry about the 3rd/4th/5th place cars being within 1 second to activate their DRS wings on them...

I start the race 1, 2, 10...taking a huge chance with Schumacher.

 

Haha I did the exact same thing. I felt dirty dropping Hamilton (first time he hasn't been in my lineup so far this season) but it worked out for the best.

 

Alonso just couldn't believe what he did!

Almost third with that car, maybe with their rear wing he would be in the first line tomorrow.

He was so happy.

 

Umm...you REALLY think that he could have had even a chance at the front row with that banned rear wing? He was .8 seconds slower than Vettel, who didn't even use KERS. When Ferrari used it during FP1 and FP2, they complained about the balance of the car...I don't think it would have made much of a difference, maybe .1 seconds if they were lucky.

 

Alonso had a great lap. But nobody was going to touch the Bulls.

 

Redbull is just in a different league at the moment.

 

Are you guys going to be up to watch live or no?
