No. It includes some parts of TV coverage from 2011

Please Ferrari, please update something on your car, something fantastic, something revolutionary. Do it like you did it back in 1998/99 when you always overtook McLaren in development game, I know you still have it, it's why I always loved you, it's why I got into F1.

Grosjean to take both Alonso and Vettel out T1.

It's sad because the kid is fast and nice but he just makes too many silly mistakes.

I don't think Ferrari are bringing any updates until India.

Big update for Lotus though: Coanda-style exhausts. It didn't seem to have done anything for Mercedes, but maybe Lotus will have better luck with it.

Toki come on, did you really expect anyting else from them in Korea?

Quote from Töki (HUN) :

Is he doing gangnam style or showing the lady on the right what's he going to be doing to her later?

MARTIN DONNELLY
FORMULA ONE DRIVER 1989-90
FIA Steward
Ulsterman Martin Donnelly, 47, was a star of junior racing categories in the 1980s before making his grand prix debut with the Arrows team at the 1989 French GP at Paul Ricard, substituting for Derek Warwick. He qualified 14th and raced to a creditable 12th. He was offered a race drive at Lotus alongside Warwick for 1990 and started 12 races, recording a best finish of seventh at the Hungarian GP. However, his time in Formula One was cut short when, later in the season, a suspension failure caused a huge accident in practice for the Spanish GP at Jerez. Despite the serious injuries he suffered, Donnelly recovered sufficiently to race competitively in national events. He now runs Donnelly Track Academy in Norfolk, England and has held a number of racing team management positions.

Not sure. I think "møche" is supposed to be "mochte"?

The first sentence seems like: "Mr Schumacher, you want to go fast"?!?!

My German is worse than terrible.

I imagine it's möchte.

Anyway, it looks like it's gonna be another finger victory goodbye WDC

Go @AussieGrit!

Webber on the clean side gives him half a chance of getting to T1 first as he is usually poor on the start. Hamilton behind him will be gunning for Vettel who starts on the dirty side. Lord knows what the order will be at T4 but if it is either Red Bull they will be hard to beat from there.

Priceless faces of finger, Newey and Horner after Q, looks like Webber won't be 1st coming to T1.

It's going to be a very boring rice if Haemiltone doesn't get past Vettle at the start
