Medilloni 6 Report post Posted July 30, 2010 Spoilt rotten, we get another race this weekend. First practice - dusty, low grip, first cars out should have been the Red Bulls, with a dust bag attached to their rubber front wing. Vet tops the list, with Webber, Kubica, Button, Barri-I-beat-The-Stig, de la Rosa... so fairly pointless to judge? Kubica has played own his chances this weekend, though in his hands Le Renault looks quick again. Sniff Petrov disaggrees with Robert, and to prove the point goes Rallycrossing over the last corner. A pretty sunny morning session then, next practise session has rain forecast. Yippee Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Schumikonen 2 Report post Posted July 30, 2010 Not happy about the rain but the Flexi wing saga is back on the news and Ferrari didn't use them and they were a lot slower than Red Bull, FOM took a video of the wing flexing so let's see what will happen with this. Flexible wings back in the news Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jem of the Shire 0 Report post Posted July 30, 2010 Hungaroring, scene of Damon Hill's first win, Button's first win, Kovalainen's first win. Red Bull looking dominant, again. Massa has said that if he's leading with Alonso behind & faster, Massa will win the race. Which makes me wonder why he didn't do that in Germany. Ah well who cares its already history, lets look forward to a dull procession unless rain sets in! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Flexible wings back in the news Whole flexi-wing debate is ridiculous. Everyone focuses on the method and not the result. Both flexible wings and the f-duct produce the same result. One is legal the other is not. That's a good comment on the rules, is it not? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rainmaster 7 Report post Posted July 30, 2010 I see another Red Bull pole, whether they will bother to convert it is a different story. Ferrari look well sorted too while the Mclarens struggle. Hopefully Kubica will produce one of his specials and put the Renault somewhere it shouldn't be, again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Quiet One 15 Report post Posted July 31, 2010 RBR *yawns* on P1-P2. So...Ferrari looks like a GP2 team. I don't really think they belong in F1...time gap is too big. The other teams look like HRT on a bad day. Hamilton lamented on Macca's pace. So badly, RD didn't like it at all and replied quite strongly. Nobody mentioned this as "moaning" (I wouldn't even think it as such) yet "This is ridiculous", when uttered by Alonso, becomes "the guy kept moaning until the team had to issue a team order". Funny.

subiedude 0 Report post Posted July 31, 2010 So the RBs have it in hand, now can they convert cleanly? Why do I think the first 4 corners are going to be telling? History seems to dictate some kind of mess from desperation and the red cars may well be part of it.........Scuderia's 3 second deal may be another mess again.
