Official 2012 Formula One Discussion Thread
Any bets on how long Massa will be around? Given his poor qualifying and result in Australia, I quite frankly see Ferrari replacing him. I really like Massa and genuinely wish he had beaten Hamilton in 2008. Ever since his accident, he has never been the same. I wish him all the best and really wish he was doing better. I can also see major heads rolling at Ferrari if they don't get their act together.
I found a great article about Ferrari's pull rod suspension, which may explain Massa's poor performance: http://www1.skysports.com/formula-1/...s-braking-down

Can't wait for the race tomorrow, I'd love to see Schumi take a podium!
Close to the old Michael right?! Don't get me wrong, aside from that off that jacked up his transmission last weekend, he has been pretty darn impressive this year. Rosberg must be scratching his head at the moment, since his dominance over Schumacher appears to be over after two relatively solid years in a pretty noncompetitive car. So the question is....why? And better yet, will Schumi be able to keep it up?!
^ I am sure that Rosberg must be champing at the bit because Schumi has been doing better in qualifying. The one thing that Schumi needs to do better is to be more consistent during the actual race. He seems to start well, then falls off about mid race. It would seem that Michael was hampered by the Mercedes' design the past couple of years. This new car seems really competitive. About the only thing that might derail it is if Red Bull's protest over the f-duct is approved by Charlie Whiting.
^ I think its more of an issue with the car abusing its tires, not so much his actual race pace.
Get up early and watch the race before autox tomorrow, or wait until about 8-9pm when I'm home tomorrow night? Decisions, decisions...

Sauber takes 2nd Place?!!!
Say what?....Sauber on podium in second place?...can't B true...haven't watched race yet, just the results.
Not really gloating here but didn't someone say Sauber was at best 9th place?...well, that's two races now where that is not true, in fact, blown out of the water!!...nobody expected this exept me...true, Kobay had to retire but one of the Saubers stayed in and almost took first which means this is definitely a competitive car....I am really flying high!!
Speaking of upsets...Alonso, the Ferrari winning?!...what happened there?..talking heads said they were finished for the next four races until new chassis comes in...well, it appears that they to R wrong again! Of course this includes me who expected RB to pull this one out...but U NO what?...I don't care bc my Sauber boys R getten it done!

Later, Ken, the ecstatic one
Post Script: Yes, it was raining and some will say a freak result but such comments R irrelavant, a podium is a podium

^^^ LOL. And I'm sure you're going to ignore that he still got beat by a car that the announcers "never imagined being capable of winning a race this season"? I would hope that would put things into perspective for you, since you've had nothing nice to say about Ferrari, including claiming that Sauber is quicker.
Regardless, Perez drove awesome, and controlled, except for just one small oops trying to run down Alonso towards the end. I think Bob Varsha put it best....'reality may set in in three weeks in Shanghai, but now, time to party."
