I must congratulate Vettel on successfully bending all 4 corners.
Looks like Button is having a good start to the weekend. Anybody else notice how incredibly bumpy the braking zone into turn 12 is?
They showed some slow-mo footage in FP2 and the cars were being shaken to bits. Doubt the track owners care if they aren't holding the race next year..Quote:
