You two have officially ruined this section of the forum. Completely trashed it. Goodbye!

👍 by far the most exhausting people on this entire board

Mark is chasing that win tomorrow 🙂 🙂

That’s true, but everything just fell apart for him during those last four years at Ferrari... if he were actually that much better and more dominant than Massa, he really should have been at least 2 or 3 tenths ahead of him.

stormybadger8 said:So what are they?
Honestly, Alonso proved today he’s just a total fraud, not championship material.
That guy is destined to be second best forever... seriously, every single time he actually has a real shot and the right tools, he completely chokes.

If he couldn't even grab a Pole this time, then he's absolutely hopeless...
If I remember correctly, you were just arguing a little while ago that Alonso is faster than Massa in qualifying by half a second... which I shut down with a mountain of data proving it's more like 0.350...

Now, just do the math: look at where Massa is—who nobody is helping through qualifying—compared to Vettel, and then imagine where Alonso would be if he were 0.300 to 0.500 slower...

Based on all the rumors and everything going on, it looks like Alonso might be getting his walking papers from Ferrari soon.
If this pattern of Massa being faster continues in the races and during qualifying in Singapore, then it’s obvious: LdM ate dirt, signed a deal with Kimi, and they're getting rid of Alonso.
Finally, Massa might actually get a real chance to show what he's worth compared to that Spanish politician.

He didn't necessarily need the top spot, but if he's truly as good as everyone claims, he should have at least secured P3.

before Alonso's 😉

What are the odds of rain?

stormybadger8 said:If they hadn't screwed over Webber in the pits, he would have been much happier because the podium would have been Vettel-Webber-Räikkönen...
And the gap between Vettel and the rest of the field would have been even larger.😉

Webber would have had a hard time finding any way to overtake Vettel. The Red Bull Racing car has nasty issues with following even significantly slower cars in dirty air, let alone cars that are just as fast...
In the end, you saw this perfectly when Webber found himself stuck behind the first relatively decent rival to Pastor Maldonado... he couldn't do a thing to him even in the DRS zone, despite the fact that Williams is literally a junk heap compared to Red Bull Racing...

He was within half a second of him before entering the pits; if they had serviced him at the same time as Vettel, he might have already been ahead by then. Even if he came out behind, he would have had the whole race to hunt him down, and we would have been watching a much more interesting race.

stormybadger8 said:I'm sitting here watching the live timing, and suddenly Webber pulls the fastest lap of the race under the Safety Car...🙏
It actually surprises me that he didn't get slapped with a penalty.🤣

Sebastian Vettel is predictably the best once again...
Give us some actual competition...get these retirees out of the way and bring in those young wildcards from GP2...🙂

If they hadn't screwed Mark Webber over in the pits, you wouldn't be talking like this.

People can say whatever they want, but Webber has proven himself to be a fantastic driver over these last few races. I honestly don't believe Alonso or Hamilton would have performed any better in a Red Bull Racing car. While Vettel might be the superior driver, he isn't as much better as it seems at first glance... if that incident hadn't happened to Webber today, I suspect he would have been right in the thick of the championship fight rather...

Jason Campbell70 said:Alonso +4
Raikkonen
Grosjean and Vettel
Vettel

Incredibly interesting statistic. Vettel definitely should have fought his way up at least another three or four positions. If Alonso had been in his seat, I am certain he would have pulled it off through sheer, masterful driving...

I am convinced that Webber would have taken this... 🙂 🙂 🙂

What's the asking price?

Fernando Alonso's eyebrows 🙏 🙏 🙏

Missed by just 0.7 seconds

Kimi Räikkönen in his Lotus just can't keep pace with the speed of Red Bull and Mercedes 😢,but there is something interesting here—Sebastian Vettel is outperforming Mark Webber by nine thousandths 🙂

🤣

Edward Howard2 said:Ugh... I better not forget to drop my race prediction after qualifying 😁
My last prediction stirred up so much drama that people were still arguing about it a week after the checkered flag. 😂

And don't you worry, my lovely fans, I won't let you down—you're definitely getting a prediction for this race too... 😍

Looking at all the "wishful thinking" predictions coming in so far... honestly, I’d sign off on one where Mark Webber takes the win, but only if the maestro manages to grab second place. 😁

That isn't just a wish; it's a vision. 🙂

Webber takes the win, while Vettel pulls out
