Nando seems to have the bit between his teeth, Webber to chop him in 3 laps time.

[JohnC]

Jesus, going wide enough Luizzi?

[Halo]

Alonso is within DRS of Webber.

[myoozikk]

Come on Alonso!

[Arc'Tan'Gent]

This race is so boring, it's giving me a haddock.

[marsh]

Can anyone put Vettel under some pressure so he falls off the race track?

Well, that's progress....

[Sidewaysbob]

Cracking move

[Big Gus]

RED MACHINE!

Right Nando, onto the Finger-Boy now.

[NinjaSeb]

Boring. I'm going for a bike ride.

[exwhyzed]

This race isn't that boring, you lot have just been spoiled by the other races this year.

[marsh]

This race is so boring, it's giving me a haddock.

Stop carping on about it.

[Sidewaysbob]

That alonso aye, 'eel being fishing for compliments after this race !

[Sidewaysbob]

How the minnows of HRT doing ? are they all at sea yet again ?

[marsh]

McLaren well and truly off the plaice...

Shit me it's not even half race distance yet. This is terrible. We need a safety car.

[Sidewaysbob]

Lewis needed a few more laps to make it work i think.

[Halo]

If Button can stretch to a 2 stopper, he might do okay here.

I want to know, if two teammates stayed in touch and let each other pass lap on lap using DRS, would their laptimes be quicker than if they stayed in procession? I'd hazard a guess that they wouldn't, but would be interesting tactically if they did.

[MrPogo]

The sport's gone a bit wrong somewhere when drivers are getting told off for going too quickly.

Probably not, with all the temperature troubles and aero problems when following closely enough to use DRS. Otherwise they'd be doing it.

[morcs]

Senna was told off for going too quickly at Monaco, before he crashed

[Sidewaysbob]

I think they'd wear their tires out faster with all the sliding behind their team mate.

boooo passing in the pit's is dull.

[Sidewaysbob]

I love Lewis "i can't go any slower" :wub:

[myoozikk]

That's why I love him!

[Sidewaysbob]

Time for a beer.

[myoozikk]

I admire & respect Vettel & more importantly Newey's car, but god it's dull seeing him roll off into the distance. Schumacher's domination was the reason I stopped watching F1 a few years back & Hamilton was the reason I started again. I really hope that from Silverstone the domination is broken & we actually see some racing at the front. I felt the same with Brawn, Button in 09 & I'm a button fan, it's just bad for the sport IMHO.

[fragglerock]

Snore.dull race is dull

[Sidewaysbob]

So, when they don't have GP here, what do you think they use the old fish market for?

[JohnC]

There's an old fish market?

[Sidewaysbob]

I am reliable informed there is one. but i'm not to sure where it is.

[Sidewaysbob]

Five live are talking about down town Valencia now.
