F1 » F1 China 2013: Alonso master of strategies in Shanghai


@ Jim Crint - Yes it is disappointing to see a driver going backwards, but if he loses to the better driver on the day (and Raikkonen was the better driver of the two today, even with a damaged nose) then fair enough. As I said previously, the four driver I mentioned I thought were most worthy of praise today. Not to take anything away from any of the others. The tyre situation is crazy, and I think all of us agree on that. But as we know, it's the FIA's specs that Pirelli make them to.

F1 » F1 China 2013: Alonso master of strategies in Shanghai


@ Chris - I didn't say a two-stopper was the end of the world, and I also said Button did well in the McLaren to finish 5th. @ Jim Crint - Are you saying that Hamilton would not have taken a bit of self satisfaction at overtaking his former team mate twice? Especially when everyone seemed to think it would be the complete opposite with the pace of the cars before the season started, me included. Raikkonen and Hamilton having a battle for pretty much the whole race (which Raikkonen became the victor of) got my juices flowing, and Vettel using his soft tyres to the max at the end of the race. Alonso drove brilliantly throughout too. So bearing in mind my lack of praise of Button apparently makes me a 'hater', does this mean your remark about Hamilton starting on pole and finishing third mean you're a Hamilton 'hater'?

Though I am not a "fan boy" of anyone, I would say I am also not a "hater" of anyone. My congrats to the first four earlier was for the podium fighters. Not including Button in that doesn't mean anything other than the others (in my opinion) were better to watch from a purely objective view of enjoying a "race". Button was heard on the radio early complaining about traffic, then later asking IF he should race and then simply falling away to 35 seconds behind Alonso when Vettel almost made the podium after the final pit-stops. Yes he did well to get a fifth place on a two-stopper in "that" McLaren, but didn't get my juices flowing watching him. Simple.

F1 » Chinese Grand Prix 2013: Hamilton snatches last-second pole


Bob So now the Mercedes is the fastest car? I think the race is going to be interesting with the differing tactics, and yes I agree with you that the guys on the primes should be at the front once the first pit stops take place. The question will then be how many laps the softs will last, and how much pace the primes will have lost compared to the fresh ones at that point... All will be revealed tomorrow.
