doubleonothing Posted 5 November, 2010 Share Posted 5 November, 2010 First practice has finished. Practice 2 on the red button/bbc sport website from 1555. Qualifying from 1500 (BBC1) Race coverage from 1500 on Sunday (BBC1) From BBC Sport "And that's your lot. Vettel is quickest (1:12.328) and he is followed by Webber (1:12.810), Hamilton (1:12.845), Button (1:13.267) and Kubica (1:13.370). Alonso looks ruefully at his car as it is cleared from the track. Here's pit-lane reporter Holly Samos: "Alonso's engine was at the end of its life. They said it was going to go any second. They had already tweeted the engine was going to be changed between the two sessions."" But of course the interest is what happens on Sunday. Again from BBC sport.... "FIVE-WAY BATTLE EXPLAINED 1 ALONSO 231pts 2 WEBBER 220pts 3 HAMILTON 210pts 4 VETTEL 206pts 5 BUTTON 189pts If Alonso wins in Brazil, he will be champion unless Webber is higher than fourth If Alonso is second, he will be champion unless Webber is higher than eighth, Hamilton higher than fourth or Vettel wins If Alonso is third, he will be champion unless Webber finishes in the top 10, Hamilton in the top four and Vettel in the top three If Alonso does not finish on the podium, it will go to Abu Dhabi Button can only stay in contention if he finishes first or second but is out if Alonso finishes in the top six or if Webber is in the top two Vettel must beat Alonso on track to stay in contention" Surely the teams must now be backing 1 driver each unless their lead driver falls off the island. For me I'm hoping for a McLaren 1-2 (as usual) OOO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JackFrost Posted 5 November, 2010 Share Posted 5 November, 2010 Some local judge has said Massa could be arrested if he lets Alonso through. I can really see that happening The championship all depends on whether Alonso's engines last. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doubleonothing Posted 5 November, 2010 Author Share Posted 5 November, 2010 2nd Practice complete. "Vettel ended up in first place (1:11.968) ahead of team-mate Mark Webber (1:12.072). Alonso was third, Hamilton fourth and Massa fifth. Kubica (1:12.882), Button (1:13.206), Heidfeld (1:13.222), Rosberg (1:13.333) and Schumacher (1:13.346). Meanwhile, Anthony Davidson says he would be very surprised if the stewards do not look at that Schumacher/Alguersuari incident. It was only a brief coming together, mind, with Schumacher brushing across Alguersuari's front wing." (BBC Sport) Watching the Schumacher-Alguersari incident on the red button it wasn't a huge thing it was just strange that Schumi would overtake and then turn in at the very end of the session. Anthony Davidson mentioned break testing during the commentary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lighthouse Posted 5 November, 2010 Share Posted 5 November, 2010 I just hope someone takes Alonso out and makes it a fight to the final race (which he looses). I'd like Webber to be Champ, but I'd rather Vettel than Alonso easily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barrichello 7. Schumacher 8. Massa 9. Petrov 10. Kubica 11. Button How the hell is Hulkenburg on pole??? Never saw that coming. Fair play to him and Williams. Completly from Left field that.

doubleonothing Posted 7 November, 2010 Author Share Posted 7 November, 2010 Bugger. Red Bull constructors champions. Race Result 1. Vettel 2. Webber 3. Alonso 4. Hamilton 5. Button 6.Rosberg 7. Schumahcer 8. Hulkenberg 9. Kubica 10. Kobayashi Button out of the title hunt. No suprise there. Hamilton with a very outside chance. Not a bad race.

JackFrost Posted 7 November, 2010 Share Posted 7 November, 2010 I believe if Alonso finishes 2nd or higher in Abu Dhabi he's champion. Webber wins if he wins in Abu Dhabi and Alonso is 3rd or lower. Vettel needs Webber and Alonso to retire and finish higher than 2nd Hamilton needs Vettel, Webber and Alonso to retire and win in Abu Dhabi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lighthouse Posted 7 November, 2010 Share Posted 7 November, 2010 Good result IMO. Would have been better if Lewis could have kept ahead of Alonso and taken a few more points off him. Here's hoping Webber leads home a Red Bull 1-2 next weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
