Yeah I'd agree with that, given you still have to be under the pit lane limiter to get to the place where you stop for 10 seconds.

Paul di Resta has been very impressive.
Webber is PISSED.
He's said in the press conference that Horner asked him 4 or 5 times to stay behind, but he's said he ignored it.
:lol:
Rightly so really. It sounded like Webber was asked to maintain the distance because Vettel had a KERS problem (and by virtue of that there could've been an incident)? Glad he ignored it, he couldn't get past him granted but at least he tried to.

Horner. :lol:
Ted Kravitz interviewed Horner straight after the race and basically asked him why he'd used team orders when he was so critical of Ferrari doing it last year. It's not really the same thing but Horner looked VERY uncomfortable.
good drive from alonso to win, wish he didnt though as i hate the prick
stunning drive from hamilton though
vettel on top gear did 1.44 lap time. now its going to sound stupid to draw conclusions from this but the drivers who have done this, have all done the same lap, in the same car. now vettel was only .2 seconds faster then rubens but interesting one is hamilton did it in 1.44.7 in an extremely wet track, watch it on youtube if you dont believe me.
can we take conclusions from this that hamilton is faster then vettel and its more car then vettel?
We don't need Top Gear to draw that conclusion ;)Quote:

No because Hamilton favours wet conditions.
Also, won't the car be about three years older now? It's a silly discussion anyway because it rather assumes that speed is the be all and end all for an F1 driver and that really isn't the case. It might well be the case that Hamilton is faster than Vettel in the same car with exactly the same set-up and conditions. F1 and racing in general is so much more than that though, other things that the car doesn't (semi) automatically take care off come in to play every single race.
A couple of F1 programmes are on tonight. On 7 BBC2 has a programme about Murray Walker and on BBC Four at 9, a programme about F1's 60th anniversary (from last year I think).
