Default F1 Turkish GP Thread

Well time for another GP this weekend, lunch is about to be put on the go I have my cup of tea so now to chill out and watch todays Qualifying.

Brawn hasn't looked very competative in the practice sessions this weeked

The McLarens looked fast too

But we can never really say with the practice times!

Looking forward to this race.

Could be a big turning point in the season with BMW brining a big update and Red Bull running the double diffuser on a proper circuit for the first time!

They don't always in practice.

Same in Q2, Jenson always seems to just scrape through, but that's bacause the car handles worse on low fuel.

Jense FTW.

Podium for Hamilton if his luck is in.

Blimy Vettel on Pole, this guy is turning into a right competitor these days. Full 10th of a second quicker too

But Button is in second

Shame about hamilton, that car just doesn't look anywhere near as hooked up as it did last year.

Jenson heavier on fuel than Vettel......

...and heavier than Reubens


If he can look after his tyres then he's on for 6 out of 7 with a bit of luck

Come on Jenson.....make Rich W eat his fucking words

He'll still screw his tyres quicker though. Jenson will at least keep with him, if not take him.

Still optimistic for Hamilton. It's good he's having a shit year. He can be WDC again next year.

After that qualifying, I doubt hamilton will

We have seen on a couple of races that Button can take it even from second.

Button is ace... and nice to see a guy who's not had the greatest career and who many had written off doing so well.

its been said hamilton cant take turn 8 flat out as oppose to the brawn, ferrari and deffinatey th red bull

hopefully by silverstone the McLarens will start to shine, they are meant to have a new package coming out then i think.

i dont think anyone can catch up with Jenson though, what a driver!

Hamilton is already thinking about next year though, this year is no where near as good as his previous...him and the car

This is the thing that always got me about button. I was always first and formost a button fan, even when he wasn't doing to well. But you look at how he drives.

Break, turn in, turn out accelerate.

He rarely has to correct the car back up, rarely slides it, he is smooth smooth smooth, where as Hamilton is super aggressive and likes it sliding.

Ha ha! Looks like the prediction of vettell being too aggressive was right! Button took advantage of it!

Shame his team mate is having a hard time, but what a race soo far!!

Schumacher holds the most wins in one season with 13 wins out of an 17 races in 2004 (72%) So button will need to win 14 races to beat that.

Schumacher also holds the most points in one season 148 in 2004. With button on 61 points at the moment, he will need to score at least 8.7 points in every race until the end of the season to beat that.

i don't think anyone could have predicted what a turn of events both jenson and lewis were going to have, from top of the world to virtual also ran and out of a job to potential champion

how the dice of fate rolls for everyone, well done to jb, comiserations to lh
