2012 Chinese Grand Prix

[Alex p.]

And with Massa down in 14th it's business as usual with the Prancing Horse.

Schumacher playing sympathetic for the cameras, but I bet you he destroys that mechanic.

I guess you're right. Poor mechanic.

 

[OutlawQuadrnt]

Uh oh. Hamilton catching up to Massa.

 

[Jiggins]

Geez this thread moves fast! Interesting race indeed!!!

 

[Tom]

He is the ted kravitz of this thread

Bu..but I like Lee Mckenzie.

 

[ZEROX]

Hamilton and Massa...we could have another...

 

[Touring Mars]

Uh oh. Hamilton catching up to Massa.

Hope the marshalls have a Hamilton flag to wave at Massa this year...

Bu..but I like Lee Mckenzie.

Yeah she is better looking than ted

Has Vettel made his second stop yet? He's ahead of Button, Webber, Hamilton and co.

The pit stop changes are making for a good race.

 

[RKanharn]

Button getting stuck behind Maldonado with his fresh new tyres making for an exciting wheel to wheel battle.

 

[niky]

Alonso is just amazing, wrestling that turd around the track.

Button out of the pits in 10th... right behind Maldonado... stuck there. Hamilton is behind Massa, though... hmmm... will Felipe let him through? Lewis starting to look really impatient back there...

EDIT: Passed him... comfortably.

They do. It's a white flag with a picture of Ali G on it.

 

[JohneyPixel]

Schumi's retire reminded me of Button at Silverstone... Last year it was?

 

[Jiggins]

Big win for Webber, caught halmilton while he was stuck behind massa.

 

[SuperDiscoDaz]

Hamilton in clean overtake on massa shocking lol

 

[Liquid]

Massa/Hamilton. Clean pass.

WHAT?!

 

[C-ZETA]

*gaaaaaaaaaaaaasp*!!!

Hamilton??? Massa??? They're still fully intact!

 

[ZEROX]

Massa/Hamilton. Clean pass.

WHAT?!

Hard to believe indeed.

 

[Tom]

Massa/Hamilton. Clean pass.

WHAT?!

Mind = Blown.

Unlucky situation for McLaren.

 

[RKanharn]

Hamilton gets 11th place off of Di Resta.

 

[niky]

Alonso in. Button cutting up the midfield... already back up into 8th, passing both Williams on the track. Now up to 6th off of other drivers pitting.

Vettel up into 4th... but only because he's yet to pit. Veeeeery tight field this.

Mathematically... Button could pass Rosberg now if he pits. Nico is in BIG trouble.

 

[Liquid]

Pit stop or no pit stop, Massa is ahead of Alonso.

What is this, I don't even...

 

[Tom]

Gosjean running in 2nd, good show.

 

[RKanharn]

Raikkonen is in the pits drives in 2nd then comes out in 13th place.

 

[SuperDiscoDaz]

What is the world of f1 coming to. Massa ahead of alonso and Hamilton overtakes massa without contact.

Teh end of teh world is near...

 

[niky]

"Brilliant job on the Sauber, Jenson, all the cars ahead of you are on older tires... they're yours for the taking."

Button is likely going to win... maybe.

"Alonso on a different strategy... let him past." Felipe, did you get the message?

 

[SuperDiscoDaz]

Teh end of teh world is near...

Lord have mercy lol

 

[Liquid]

Rosberg needs to pit. Button will eventually cruise past with his masterful tyre management if Rosberg stays out any longer.

The gap is ~15 seconds.

 

[Tom]

Damn team orders Ferrari! Let them race.

 

[Touring Mars]

What is the world of f1 coming to. Massa ahead of alonso and Hamilton overtakes massa without contact.

Remember that Alonso has stopped twice and Massa only once, so Alonso is still substantially quicker...

edit: New euphamism from Rob Smedley: "Fernando is on a different strategy to you!"
