2012 Formula One Italian Grand Prix

Also, are the cars allowed to go wide and off track exiting Ascari like last year?

Just that I havent seen one car stay inside the lines there yet, and understand there was some sort of rule rerlaxation to allow it at that part of the track.

Heard it from the Speed commentators that the drivers are allowed to go outside the lines coming out of Ascari, explains why the majority of drivers are doing it lol.

Anyways, sort of worried that they do have the same tyre compounds as last week in Spa. Before the race most drivers were saying that they were possibly looking at the 2 or 3 stop race and the top 2 finishers ended up doing 1 stop. Perhaps the driver that can best look after his tyres to achieve a one stop will be the winner.

Cars have been bottoming out on the resurfaced part of the track. Good work.

 

[Diego Lopez]

BAHAHAHAHA OMG i am dying of laughter!


btw i highly doubt it wil be 1 pit stop...the low downforce will hurt the tyres, especially the rears with hi fuel levels...so I say 2 stops.

 

[Carlos Luna]

We'll see on race day I suppose. Still don't like that Pirelli brought the 2 hardest compounds this weekend though.

Yeah, Steve Matchett brought it up several times that the cars appear to be bouncing quite a lot on the parabolica.

[TheHemps]

Did I just see tartan tyre warmers at Williams?

 

[Xosé Estrada]

ALO with technical ptoblems?

 

[Chronus]

Did I just see tartan tyre warmers at Williams?

Seemed like it.

Q3 over: Hamilton, Button, Massa, DiResta (great qualy by Paul)

Alonso last, probably a problem.

Seems to me McLaren is set to dominate this one.

 

[Metalfreaky]

Damnit. Just hope Alonso survives the start tomorrow.

The Goal has to be in front of Vettel and Kimi

 

[ufunacaoenn]

Massa was driving exceptionally today and Di Resta too (poor Hulkenberg lost his chance to do something in qualify).
And the Mclaren is in a league of it's own.

 

[Kartik Sri Harsha]

Massa to Post Qualifying Interview after So long
Who guessed this and Can any one Say Ferrari was a slower car .

 

[Darren Bentley]

Alonso has the Maldonater behind him as well I think we will see him get terminated again good lap by Lewis and Paul and Fleipe baby

 

[Michael Brown]

Over a second slower than his Q2 time, it looks like Alonso will just have to beat Vettel maintain his lead

 

[Chronus]

Hamilton's pole lap was so lean, so perfect. The guy downshifted one last time in midcorner by comparison to others that do their downshifting before beginning turn in.

Button's was also good, ever so smooth.

 

[Darren Bentley]

I had to reply to Ferrari putting
"Tomorrow is going to be very tough for Fernando. It's a shame..."

With me putting
"no it isn't a shame it's the best thing imaginable with maldonado behind alonso as well "
Kind of immature but I was just too tempted to do it

 

[Metalfreaky]

What a great deal of sportsmanship
