2012 Chinese Grand Prix

[GTPorsche]

Out of interest, has Rosberg lead every lap? Surely there's a lot of pride in knowing you've lead from flag-to-flag.

Button has lead a handful of laps. Massa led a couple as well.

 

[SagarisGTB]

I think at this point, they are going to gamble with Kimi and Vettel and attempt to get a podium out of this race.

Risky. If it doesn't work out, it will cost them point places seeing as how it is tight behind.

 

[dudedo]

Lol, David Coulthard is talking about using rubbers on pencils. Funny Brits.

 

[mattythedog]

I would love him to pit and still win by 5-10 seonds, just to troll them all HARD. (I know I would do )

But it would be risky, one sticky wheelnut and you've lost your win.

Pitting would take them completely out of the points with how tight the pack is.

No I don't think he did you had Button, Massa and Perez for Massa for a lap or two.

 

[SagarisGTB]

Button has lead a handful of laps. Massa led a couple as well.

Perez and Massa have led as well.

Anyone think there is too much graining on the tyres as there was areas where the marbles were showing as early as lap 7?

 

[LMSCorvetteGT2]

Hamilton is going to grab and bag Kimi after Webber.

 

[ZEROX]

Damn thy marblez!

 

[Liquid]

Great scraps all over the track, and Raikkonen becomes the third victim of the marbles!

This is fantastic stuff.

 

[NINE_HUNDRED]

I wish every race was like this, brilliant stuff.

 

[SagarisGTB]

By passing Raikkonen, Vettel just ruined his own race.

He's now easy meat for the McLarens. No podium for him.

 

[Touring Mars]

Ouch for Kimi... 2nd to 10th in under a lap

 

[GTPorsche]

Raikkonen's tires must be completely shot at this point.

 

[Tom]

Perez and Massa have led as well.

That is a shame. Awesome battle for fourth!

 

[LMSCorvetteGT2]

Damn Kimi is dropping like a stone

 

[mattythedog]

This is incredible, they're actually racing!

 

[dudedo]

EPIC FAIL lap from Kimi, Sucks. First time I've really seen this "cliff".

 

[JohneyPixel]

What a shame for Kimi

 

[niky]

Will Vettel and Raikkonen try to finish this race on those tires? There's less than ten laps left... they're still in the hunt.

If they fold, the person who will benefit most will be Webber... who looks like he might get a podium out of that car.

Hamilton tries on Webber... and is past! Now Webber past... fantastic battle.

Vettel past Raikkonen... Webber tries... gets off line, button and Hamilton are queued up behind Raikkonen... Man... this is nuts! Hammy and Webber past Kimi... now he's in trouble from Senna... he doesn't have any tires left in that car.

 

[mika haka]

damn!

 

[ZEROX]

I'm sensing someone or two complain about the over-tyre marble.

 

[GTPorsche]

There's been more passing well outside of the DRS zone in this race.

 

[Liquid]

I wish every race was like this, brilliant stuff.

Every race of 2012 has been marvellous so far.

Bad strategy for Raikkonen. Those tyres are ruined.

 

[dudedo]

Did you see the SAUBERS!!!

 

[niky]

Sauber on Sauber? What a fight!

 

[Alex p.]

But it would be risky, one sticky wheelnut and you've lost your win.

You're right of course, good Sir. 👍

 

[LMSCorvetteGT2]

Great job by Bruno this race, just like last race.

 

[C-ZETA]

Raikkonen's ice cream supplies ran out, it seems.
