2013 F1 Thread

Agree - a very generous offer - hopefully someone will claim it. I am looking at Abu Dubai in Nov - for the F1 race as well as seeing Depeche Mode live (two birds with one stone).

Wow, awesome, just listening to a remix of "dream on"..reminded me to reply to this post!

Webber on Top gear talking about Vettel.

Finally confirmed

Ricciardo to partner Vettel at Red Bull 2014

Red Bull have ended speculation over who will replace Mark Webber at the team next season by announcing Daniel Ricciardo as Sebastian Vettel’s 2014 team mate. Ricciardo will move up from sister team Toro Rosso, just as Vettel did.

F1's worst kept secret of this year. Mark Webber pretty much announced it at Spa last weekend when asked by James Allen.

 

[moa999]

Kimi's mgr pretty much announced it a month ago...

Interestingly enough rewatched a recorded doco last week from 18 months ago where Webber was effusive about Porsche road cars (he owns a few) versus Ferraris.
Was that a hint?

Stupid election.
Stupid Rugby.

Qualifying telecast delayed 30 minutes.

Aren't you watching on ONE?

Yes I am. It seems the Q is live, they just skipped the 30mins BS at the start which threw me out of whack.

 

[JessicaTam]

Strong Q from Ricciardo to get 7th. Whilst he may have the seat, he now needs to show why it is justified.

Unfortunately, I think tonight will be a Vettel Blitzkreig. Not that I don't like Seb, but watching his qually performance I think he has it in the bag. Would just like to see Mark win.

Unfortunently I agree with you - will just be watching it and praying for rain, hoping that some other car has found another 100 horsepower since Spa or for something to go "boing" in Vettels car..... none of which have happened enough this year.

 

[elbarto]

80% chance of rain so lets hope that spices things up. Vettel is a bit of a princess so if there's any rain he'll probably park it so he doesn't get too wet

In that case I hope it pours! hehe

My 11month old conspired with the 4yr old to make sure I missed out in watching Quali. They're both asleep now so as long as I can stay awake myself.....

Bring on the rain!

 

[stewiejp]

..... you can say that again..

Happy to say I'm awake and will be watching. Stewie Nostrodamus says Webber will win a race this year (after Vettel has tied up the championship) and the bandwagon jumper onerers will say, "See, that's what would have happened all year if Webber was allowed to race..."

Looking forward to the rain.

But what does Stewie Nostrodamus say about Webber's start?

Will be interesting to see if the all too familiar clutch issues arise again !!

Please rain

That is all

We might be lucky.

And to think that a year ago I was sitting in the grandstand opposite the pits at Monza. Where has that year gone?
