That RB FW has to be banned. This is ridiculous. 1.1s per lap.

Vettel has already 3 secs over ALO but Webber is a bit slower

Vettel FL

LOL you will be typing that a lot today

[m schumy]

Unbelievable pace by Vettel

[gvsnraju85]

Vettel is flying, we can only hope for reliability issues.

Does anyine think webber can be a threat to Alonso???

[Lithium]

Vettel flying , 5+ seconds from Alonso... Webber less than a sec behind...

[m schumy]

LOL you will be typing that a lot today

Yeah looks like it, those Red Bulls are flying

[Tech_Skill]

I just love watching Alonso punching above his weight slower cars, webber catching him though. He will try and stick in 2nd and wait to see if vettel has a problem.

[Greig]

MS brake problems

[gvsnraju85]

Vettel is flying on the Red Bull wings.......i think he might overlap Hamster by the end of the race

Schumacher team radio:

"The brakes are becoming very spongy, what is it? Something wrong?"

"Negative, probably the calliper, do be careful with them"

[Lithium]

Does anyine think webber can be a threat to Alonso???

With that car, yes he is very dangerous... Hopefully Alonso can keep it up...

[m schumy]

MS complained about brakes on the radio

[scuderia_nano]

If Mark ahs the Faster car, Alonso might not take any chances and settle for a 3rd. We have to look at the championship in the long run.. And not 1 race!

[Ste]

Vettel is still a second per lap quicker.

Massa closing on on Webber.

[Lithium]

Webbo falls back a bit, phew...

[Tech_Skill]

You know Hamilton is doing a very good job, Alonso needs to open up the gap over him.

a joke, right?
funny in any case!

[Ste]

I'm going to complain to the BBC about Legard calling Alonso, Alonzo.

Eugh.

[gvsnraju85]

Kobayashi does impress me with his hooligan driving antics sometimes

[scuderia_nano]

a joke, right?
funny in any case!

Nah. Not jokin but somehow, The RBR is too fast. Webber closing in and Vettel has about 8 seconds ahead. Vettel is gaining 1 second a lap.! So Mark has almost the same pace?

[gvsnraju85]

In 8 laps vettel is 7.9 secs ahead.......i feel a deep pain in my heart......so much for our hope to overtake him in pits

InsideFerrari

Fernado is improving his lap time but still 9tenths slower than vettel

[Tech_Skill]

Legard is an idiot, of course Vettel is showing killer pace, he has a clear track and by far the fastest car on this circuit, but you know what, Alonso nearly smoked him yet again from 3rd in a much slower car.

[maho]

Alonso about 6 tenths slower than Vettel now.. wel for the past 3-4 laps.

Gap between Lewis and Massa is about 1.5secs. Come on Massa, push push push!

BBC F1 analyst Martin Brundle: "You've got to be impressed by that. Button's looking at the car five in front of him - Barrichello - and noticing what tyres it's on."

BBC pit-lane reporter Ted Kravitz in the McLaren garage: "Button's initial getaway wasn't that bad - but he was just crowded out through Turn One. The strategy was for him to go very long on the soft tyres. That hasn't worked now, so the likelihood is they'll call him on early onto the prime, harder tyres."

[gvsnraju85]

Webber closing in on an attack

[Ste]

P2, P3, P4 all within 6 tenths of Vettel now.

BBC Radio 5 live F1 analyst Anthony Davidson: "The first tyre window will be somewhere between laps 11 and 15, but the cars with extra downforce have such a big advantage in terms of reduced tyre degradation. I think nerves got the better of Vitaly Petrov at the start of the race and he made a few mistakes, but he's starting to claw his way back up towards Lewis Hamilton now."

Good points today if we can hold position.
