She needs to eat

----------------------------------

I'd hazard a guess Nando will feed her tonight.

[ctjet]

_{at 171cms, he may need to rope in massa to top her off}

[wolverine]

Stand on his shoulders you reckon?

[ctjet]

honestly, how fcuking funny would that be

[wolverine]

When she kneels down a bit to get to the right height?

A shame Kimi damaged his front wing today. I thought he would challenge for the win today, Grosjean was nowhere in the same car so he needs to get back on the angry pills.

Hamo held it together ok too.

Red Bull’s Mark Webber will drop three places on the grid for next weekend’s 2013 Formula 1 Gulf Air Bahrain Grand Prix after stewards penalised him for his collision with Toro Rosso’s Jean-Eric Vergne in Sunday’s Shanghai race. And Sauber’s Esteban Gutierrez will be demoted five grid places at Sakhir for his crash with Force India’s Adrian Sutil.

“I think Mark could not have got through from where he tried and I’m not even sure if he was trying to pass me,” said Vergne afterwards. “Certainly I didn’t even know he was there.

Chin's fault but surely at this level Vergne should be a little more aware since it is his second season.

[Missileman]

definitely webbers fault, think he saw vtool in his mirrors and got a rush of blood, poor decision under pressure

Webbers last year in F1

Breaking news. From 2014 onwards Webber is on his way out of F1 to race for Porsche in the Le Mans Prototype Series.

[sh@un]

told ya's Webby would never be WDC

good to see Mercedes back from the 2012 slump

it seems McLaren have assumed that role instead

Frankly I am glad Webber did what he did. It was a racing incident but as the commentators and Webber dsaid. Vergne seemed to stay wide and then apexed later. Showing a quicker car the inside was a bit silly but was his corner and able to turn in. I think Webber having to pit in a few laps wanted to keep the hammer down and had a punt. Good to see a bit of aggression back in Marks driving...shame it didnt pay off.

Not sure I agree with the 3 spot penalty. It wasnt that much of a botched attempt in light of the line Vergne took. But a weekedn to forget for Webber and will be interesting hwo he bounces back when they first arrive back in Europe. He always goes well and would be a change of fortune if he actually had a good result in Bahrain. I am not holding my breath

Massive congrats to Disco Dan 7TH! All in all I enjoyed the race. Hamo, Kimi all punching away. Massa seemed to get really dicked with having to stay out that lap longer and know idea what has happened to the pace Romain had last year Gutted for the guy

They openly said they were messing with his head in the off season to prevent some of the issues reoccurring. Maybe took a little too much out of him. Fine line I guess.

I guess that's why it's only a 3 spot penalty instead of the usual 5.

I think ppl underestimate Merc's race potential at their peril this season. But anything can happen... and it probably will!

They're going pretty similar to this time last season, except their lead driver isn't getting mechanical DNFs and Grosjean'ed.

Lewis qualy this year - 3, 4, 1

Schu qualy last year - 4, 3, 2

In the races:

Schu had g'box retirement in Aus while running 3rd having passed Vettel. Hamilton finished 5th this year.

Schu got Grosjean'ed to the back of the field in Malaysia's opening lap, but fought back to finish in the points. Hamilton had an uneventful but heavily assisted 3rd this year.

And Schu was running a comfortable 2nd in China until the pit stop where they failed to tighten a wheel. While Hamilton just clung onto 3rd at the end this year.

Rosberg qualy this year - 6, 6, 5

Rosberg qualy last year - 7, 7, 1

So he's doing similar things apart from not getting the job done in Q3 at China this time. And has inherited the mechanical troubles that plagued Shuey last year with 2 mechanical DNF's for electrics and suspension.

Hopefully they don't fade away like they did last year.

this tyre preservation racing is terrible

this!

isn't it great for the show to see drivers so worried about hurting their tyres they don't bother racing someone for their position because it will only hurt their race by having to pit earlier, stuffing up their strategy.

plus we had stuff all happening in qualy also because of the tyres

good work Pirelli!

[sh@un]

"Grosjean'ed"

I like that. That's totally a verb now

[macdog]

Seriously though, Webber losing a fcking wheel...

How bad is his pit team? They seriously do not want him at red bull anymore. It's blatantly obvious.

[Roy]

He needs to go bacl to being happy to throw the car into others or at walls. His lack of speed is a bit of a worry 3 races in when his team mate has had to strong podiums
