LabradoRacer 2 Report post Posted March 23, 2012 If Jenson qualifies behind a Mercedes, the time he's held up behind in the race could very well make Lewis the winner. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BradSpeedMan 6 Report post Posted March 23, 2012 Kimi needs to get over his rustiness, and fast!!! By the time everything is to his liking it will be a little too late, as the other teams would have better developments on their cars, thats why I think the sooner he has success the better. Him making all these mistakes is just plain bad....man, I'm disappointed at the same time I feel he should have some time to acclimatise again.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BradSpeedMan 6 Report post Posted March 23, 2012 Only another 3 breakages required for Ferrari to make it into top 10 you mean gaining by inheriting places. But let's not say it too loud cause Alehop is checking Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Insider 0 Report post Posted March 23, 2012 Macca, Merc, Lotus, RBR all similar on race pace though fuel loads were not know. Macca very quick over a single lap though Schumi could split them. I thought Jenson was way more aggressive than I have seen him in KL before, so he is happy with the car though I feel his flying laps look nervy. A tweak on set up won't go amiss. Michael looked strong though. However, none of this will matter if the forecast gets it right and it rains cats and dogs for the next two days! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm sure he's hoping for rain to save Alonso - although why he thinks an undrivable Fiat is any better in the rain, god knows Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sorry to disappoint you but his comeback is already more successful than the german punk guy. First race and already outstanding race pace. Came from way behind into the points, almost as well as Perez, and without pushing/shoving/bumping anybody out of his way as the un-respectful german punk usually does.

Reasonable, even optimistic expectations That's the best I can imagine happening, so it's already a bit hopeful xD Perez actually got a lucky break, Kimi was heavily influenced by the safety car, he would've fought Alonso for 5th place... I don't think Perez got any lucky breaks, he was ahead one second and 5 places behind the next. And I also don't think the SC influenced Kimi's situation badly at all. OK, I was sleepy at the time, but even so I remember being happy at the SC because it allowed Kimi to catch the cars in front of him, surely that would be enough for him to overtake some of them. But instead Kobayashi passed him and he inherited a couple of places and passed Perez along with Koba and the Toro Rossos. I'm still a bit disappointed because of that.
