I dont hear "FIA choses option X and Y for race weekend", I hear "Pirelli choses option x and Y for race weekend".

Why should he care if Q3 has no runners, it should be the FIA making a noise.

Pirelli is providing high-degrading tires. Which is what the FIA wanted. I don't agree that he has no one to blame but himself. Paul Hembery & Pirelli had no choice but to give the FIA what they wanted if they were to provide Formula 1 with tires.
 
Alright, the race will get underway in a minute. I expect hard fought battle for the lead. :D
 
pre race prediction.

1st - vettel
2nd - hamilton
3rd - alonso
4th - webber
5th - button
6th - massa
7th - schumacher
8th - rosberg
9th - petrov
10th - sutil

Hopefully, it will be eventful with earned overtakes not 'gimme's' due to the twin drs zones.
 
Alright clean first lap. :)

3-4th for Ferrari.
 
Good start by Massa, bit soft against Alonso though. Poor starts by Button and Hamilton. Webber lead by Vettel by 1.3 seconds.
 
I meant led. My mistake.
 
Vettel clearing off into the distance already :indiff:
 
Nice block from Nico. :drool:
 
Double drs seems to be quite well matched, no sailing past with ease. Not yet anyway!
 
Button gets Rosberg into t2. :indiff:
 
Not much of overtaking we see here. Even with two DRS zone. :grumpy:
 
Looks like Alonso is gaining on Webber quite fast.
 
Scary moment for Alonso. If the car snap to the left, it would be awesome crash. 👍


Joking. :p
 
Webber has pitted.

Webber is on soft.
 
Vettle, Alonso have pitted
 
Schumi didn't even try to defend his position. :indiff:

Lose front wing for him.
 
Schumi has a damaged front wing.

And over took a force india with it as well.
 
Schumacher, legend for overtaking with his front wing all over the place!
 
^
I second that. :D

Lol, he just pitted when that happen.
 
Schumi just hit a car after exiting pit.
 
Perez the bigger loser, for now.

That was on his first pit, and why he needed the second.

Just saw the replay message, thought it was after he got the wing fixed.
 
Alonso passes Webber.
 
Alonso, looking very good, great pass on webber.
 
Webber fail to defend. Argh!
But nice effort anyway.

Looks like sauber are going for their traditional one stopper.

Alonso moved to left so Webber went to defend on the left, but Alonso swept right.

Well, Alonso on high now. Which is not good for Vettel.
