I was happy to see Vettel win. It's not any fun to watch when somebody TOTALLY dominates.

 

Results after China. GoKimiGo had Vettel and Button - nice picks.

 

I did? I didn't know I was playing anything... LOL.

 

I'm not sure if it's you or someone else...

 

Someone else, I know I didn't make any picks. Someone biting my style! LOL, it is all good .

I am glad a good kid like Vettel has won his second race and will be a competitor this year. He was quite unlucky in Melbourne and I think him being too nice got him that penalty for the following race. Full marks to him and Redbull for getting back on the horse and making it stick, well done.

 

Those Redbull Chassis just seems to have an much better traction in wet conditions, just like last year .... I guess it says something about those Adrian Newey chassis. And with Vettel behind the wheel, it's like icing on the cake.

 

gokimigo, if you don't make picks, it keeps the same picks you used from the previous race. but be careful, if you use the same driver 4 races in the season you get zero points for picking him again. so you essentially got lucky if you didn't make picks and happened to pick the 1,3 spots

 

Kev, I think he means that it's not him. I think someone else has used his name.

What a race! The results of these races this year is amazing! I like it but its just crazy when looking at last years. Cheers to Redbull, Happy for Vettel and Webber for sure. Brawn is still looking good though, I think it would have faired differently in the dry; thinking Brawn would have victored.

 

Wonder who will all have new diffusers this week.

 

Right.

And so the challenge that everyone faces is trying to configure the car to balance out with the new diffusor, but it has to be done at the track and at practice due to the no R/D, Test/Tune rule.

 

Well McDonalds ... I mean McLaren will definately have it on their car as well as Renault/Nissan. I doubt Ferrari and Redbull will have it on their cars ....

 

I expect some pretty crazy practice times. A few teams will get it right, a couple will mess it all up.

 

^Agreed, McLaren and Renault were already running intermittent diffusers this past week and should have the full designs on the cars in Bahrain.

Ferrari have mention that their diffuser will be ready by the time they get back to Europe. Redbull just announced that theirs will only be ready for Monaco, but they don't seem to need it that badly at the moment, LOL.

One concern is that with these new diffusers some teams have to change their rear suspension to a different design to be able to accommodate the double deck diffuser. Will that upset their current balance in anyway?

 

Ferrari has all ready thrown in the towel as far as a championship, doesn't really seem like they are that motivated right now.

 

No they haven't...
Major upgrade planned for the F60 in Spain. SD has since toned down those comments. Ferrari will fight, their not a team that will just roll over.
