Same goes for Button, he was only 1 tenth slower than Hamy.Quote:

I think that Cavallino's point was that with new tyres, he should have been able to get into the top 10. Now, whether Alonso was using new tyres or not when he spun off is hardly relevant to the spin itself.Quote:

This is totally correct. On the US broadcast I think it was Steve Matchett that said it looked like Alonso was trying to lengthen some corners to make up for their loss of traction they have when they take a more direct line and attack the apex.Quote:

Why not 108, why not 106? its just stupid, a number they pulled out of thin air...Quote:

It seems like a lot of people have made all the decisions about the cars based on a single qualification session. I suspect some will be eating their words after a few full race distances. :D
That's just my opinion, but a single session isn't telling us a lot folks. It's the first time the drivers are back in the hot seat under pressure, as well as the teams.
there are always lapped cars in F1 races it makes absolutely no different if its an hrt or toro rosso both will be going significantly slower than a leading car coming up to lap them as they will have received blue flags so they will have slowed from their normal pace. look what happened with webber and kovalainen couple years ago when Mark took off like a plane cus heikki was too slow, are we not going to let lotus race that race though? No. as long as all drivers are paying attention should not be a problem having hrt on track during race. if anything it will spice up the race, i like lapped traffic to make things interesting, its just another challenge for the top drivers leading the race.Quote:
