Formula One 2010 Season

[nigelh]

That was one of the most boring races I've watched. I would have thought that more teams in the top 10 would have used the the prime tyre in quali so they could finish the race on the option tyre with a lite fuel load and the the track alot more rubbered in and not spend the race driving around saving the tyres. Have to feel sorry for vettle too he had that in the bag.
Hope the next race will be better.

yep this get position first 5 laps and then coast rest of the race shits me off!!!

vettel did brilliant to finish 4th with a fault spark plug (crazy to think million dollar machines still get faulty spark plugs ) did well to keep the car alive

Alonso did a good drive in first few laps, i do like the guy cause hes a jerk ahha and also hates hamilton


But middle of the pack (with the drivers we acctually cared about, webber button schuey) was just boring to watch as there was no overtaking track or not they were on fuel conservativeness pretty much the whole race.. id like to see a team/driver do an extended tank and wear the heavy fuel load but flog the frig out of the car the whole race and pass them all when they are being conservative

is that a confirmed faulty spark plug?
cos last i heard the team was telling vettel over the radio it was a cracked exhaust.

post race comments said was a spark plug

was the commentators that said cracked exhaust cause it sounded like it when it passed, guessing thatd have been the engine running rough cause it was running 7 cylinders

nah they said at one point that the team said it to vettel over the radio.
really suprised they would risk the engine like that, considering they only get 1 per 3 races (on average, over the season)
