Formula 1 Gran Premio de España Santander 2012

[Demon Drone]

If what I see as the most boring race of the season is this good. Can't wait for monaco.

Oh God. Monaco will be nuts if we get this kind of racing there. Unless Vettel gets the pole.

We've already seen "n" replays from "n" angles. Senna didn't move left until he had Schumacher's nosecone rammed into his gearbox.

Wrong. Look for yourself: (second 12)

Senna moved to the left, BEFORE Schumacher hit him. But Schumacher could probably have avoided him though.

 

[Watchman]

Come on Button...

 

[GTPorsche]

McLaren are certainly doing their best to throw their season away off the track this year. Really dumb decisions and poor pit performances.

They must have ran off and disguised themselves as Sauber mechanics as well.

Edit: And quickly disguised themselves as Williams mechanics also.

Bad pits for Maldonado!

 

[Liquid]

Oooooooh, lengthy stop.

Luckily he had a 7 second lead...

 

[Tom]

Maldonado is going to have to drive out of his skin after that...

 

[TyrrellRacing]

Williams crack under pressure and costs McDonalds 3 seconds.

These top teams should be looking at the HRT and Marussia pit crews.

My eyes wasn't wrong then.
All and all, i blame Schumi imo.

I think Schumi cut in because if he stayed on the outside he probably would have over shot the turn and he would have lost a ton of time.

For someone that has won 7 world titles, won god knows how many races, he should have known better. Senna didn't suddenly move across, I think Schumi, was looking at his apex instead of a Williams.

 

[ghskilla]

Front wing change for Vettel.

Of course. That is why he moved to the right in the end, and ended up in Senna. Misjudged.

 

[Famine]

Jebus. Out they all come as usual

Good pass from Button - following Vettel's lead? - and crappy stop from Williams.

Well, that shows nobody is perfect. Even if you're a seven times world champion.
A rare mistake for him to do. So, it's okay.

Alonso pits. Maldonado still out in front.

 

[Furinkazen]

Maldanado past Kimi.

 

[Christian_C]

Maldonado is driving beautifully 👍

 

[Watchman]

Alonso past Räikkönen now, as well.

 

[Liquid]

Race. On.

18 laps to go, Ginsters Maldonado vs. Fernando Alonso.

 

[dhandeh]

All set up for a frantic finish!

 

[Liquid]

And amongst all this fracas, Massa is having his usual stormer well down in 15th.

What a waste of time he is.

He did have a drive-through remember.

 

[Liquid]

He did have a drive-through remember.

Take that away and he'd barely be in the top 10. At a push.

---

Alonso is going to do this...

 

[GTPorsche]

Without that drive through, Massa would be around 8th or so.

Oh boy, blue flags and Massa is the next car to be lapped....

 

[Liquid]

Without that drive through, Massa would be around 8th or so.

Brilliant pace for a Ferrari #2. He could have been eighth.

 

[dhandeh]

He did have a drive-through remember.

He is still useless. Example A - Getting the drive through in the first place. Example B - getting lapped by your team mate, with 12 laps to go.

 

[niky]

Massa is driving as hard as he can, but it really isn't enough. No way was he going to stay in front Hamilton for long, and with all those other front-running team cars vying for a spot behind Lotus and Williams and Sauber, he's got his hands full.

Maldonado doing an excellent job of bottling up Alonso. Alonso may be on a four-stopper, Pastor definitely on a three-stopper. Maldo being cheeky... he's slow through the rest of the lap then pulls out that one second right before the start-finish.

 

[dhandeh]

Ginsters not put a wheel wrong, yet.
