He went that way a few seconds ago...Where is Vettel?
Posted 02 November 2012 - 07:35
Vettel, Webber or Hamilton for the pole.
Alonso to start on the 2nd row.

Don't expect too much from Lotus this race. Acceleration out of all those slow corners has been a weak point of the car this seasonAlongside Kimi....

Posted 02 November 2012 - 08:48
Vettel for pole and the win.
Posted 02 November 2012 - 09:00
Vettel's objective must be to keep Alonso Diaz behind him, if he can, and then win, if he can, without risking DNF. Unfortunately it comes to numbers now. Vettel is not racing Hamilton, regardless what anyone says at the end.The last time a driver won five races in a row was Schumacher in 2004. Amazingly he did it on two separate occasions that season winning five in a row from Australia to Spain and then seven in a row from Europe to Hungary.
If Vettel doesn't have any problems the only one who can stop him here is Hamilton, purely because he is the only driver apart from the Red Bulls who is capable of qualifying on pole. I imagine Webber will be asked to move over so for the sake of the sanity of most F1 fans this race needs Hamilton to pull something out of the bag on Saturday. They were only a couple of tenths off in India and the consensus seems to be that McLaren will be more suited to Abu Dhabi.
A Canada round II (Vettel vs Hamilton vs Alonso in comparable cars) would be lovely but is probably unrealistic.

This. Unfortunately.Red Bull front row lockout, both will drop the rest of the field within 3 laps, Vettel will go on to complete a boring victory.

Still a huge 3.2s down on FP1 winning time last year???
Posted 02 November 2012 - 10:05
seems Vettel will have to fight Paddy Lowe this weekend.
Posted 02 November 2012 - 10:08
all those slow corners mean its a big EBD track

I know you cant read from practice time, ..but so far he definitely seems to be blitzing.Hamilton will walk it this weekend. It is his Circuit.

Nah just typical Lewis going at it from FP1 only for the others to steadily work on their set-up and to catch up or be faster when it really matters in qualy and the race.I know you cant read from practice time, ..but so far he definitely seems to be blitzing.

Doesn't Vettel have more poles and wins here?Hamilton will walk it this weekend. It is his Circuit.

It seems Räikkönen did his best time with a puncture, if that's true, I would say his time is not that bad, he's in front of a Ferrari even like that.Lotus is really slow. Absolutely nowhere.

that's not a fair thing to say as Hamilton also had his bad luck from the front in abu dhabi, 2011 just levelled that.It's Vettel's circuit if anything, 2 poles and 3 wins without the mech DNF out of 3 races. We'll see if Mclaren is the faster qualifying car though, like a year ago.
Posted 02 November 2012 - 10:41
Yup - but it's quite close between the two. Hamilton and Vettel both had a DNF from a good position to complicate things. Hamilton has more points here than Vettel (43 to 35) because Vettel's first win here was when it awarded 10 points instead of 25.Doesn't Vettel have more poles and wins here?
