suzuka 2012 [f1]
so ye, Di Resta and Schumi crash in fp2..
Quote from Gougoodthing :Vids?

Couldn't find any. Will have another look now.

All i could find was this image. This is what instigated the wreck anyway.
#4 - CSF
They both did the exact same thing, as did Heikki who got away with it.

Yep.

Petrov also seems to have lost his complete rear wing on the main straight, there was no proper footage of it happening though, just the end of it was caught on the official fom feed.

Surely Kob will keep his seat for next year he has qualified in the front two rows 3 times this season, surely has to count for something.

I think Kobayashi's seat will be safe. Peter Sauber likes him. But more to the point, he's a fairly quick driver, doesn't make stupid mistakes, and has great racer's instinct. Relative to the grid, he's not elite, but capable of matching most of the second-tier drivers, IMHO.

He'd be the first pick for any team principal looking for a strong, cheap, easy-to-manage driver.

Qualifying has always been his weak point but this year it seems to have swapped around and despite some bad luck he doesn't seem comfortable as he was in race pace before, might be the tyres he can't get used to.
Meh, another difficult race ahead for Fernando... RedBull in their own league. Three drivers in front to pass, two, even three to hold off.. Just to keep decent points lead to Vettel and with Korea, India, Abu Dhabi all after this it just smells like 2010 all over again. C'mon Ferrari, WAKE UP!!!
#14 - CSF
If Vettle doesn't break down or get shafted by a safety car, he's going to win. How much Wibber will be able to "help" him remains to be seen. Amazing pole, and still had 2 tenths in the bag, didn't need to do many laps in qualifying so tyres are fine too.

Gud result for Sauber in the race pls
Genuine lol at Kimi's post-quali interview

"Kimi, what happened?"
"I spun."

"... bit of a disaster for you and the others with the yellow flags"
"I don't care what happened to the others."
Can't beat honesty.
There is a thin line between being a funny guy and a f*cking dickhead...
Why would he care as long as nobody got injured :s Even F1 fans are primadonnas..
Alonso, Rosberg out of the race in turn 1. Safety Car.
Good job romain.....
The absolute last thing Alonso needed right there.

Kobi doing mighty good though, quite nice to see.
Yea, the Jap fans put a smile on MY face.
