The championship was starting to come alive, yeah Vettel had a HUGE lead but RB was falling behind in pace and Vettel was starting to crack. Last season even towards the end (korea) they had reliability problems... I'm of the opinion that if Vettel finished outside the top 5 today and Lewis had won with Alonso 2nd the championship was more than up for grabs. But with Vettel getting a 2nd today I do now think that there is no chance of anyone beating him. | ||

"Alonso was faster, except for when he wasn't faster, but there was a reason he wasn't faster, so actually he was faster" Maybe, in the phases he was faster than Webber there were reasons for that too? Maybe that magically doesn't count too? :O But I guess that Webber was going to beat him but for the rain actually just proves how unlucky Alonso was not to beat Vettel as well like you say. Especially with all that going off the track and spinning. He was faster, I cant see how you interpret it any other way. You really cant accept it I guess. Anyone watching from a neutral point of view can see that. | ||

Wishful thinking only goes so far! | ||

In the last two races the McLarens have been faster or equal to the RBs in the dry. Lewis had P1 in quali but lost it due to a mistake, they have the pace and have caught RB, as have Ferrari. It's just also happens to be that McLaren also have to two best wet drivers out there. | ||

They have caught up to RB but if todays weather had been like it was in Hungary in the past, RB would have had an advantage. At least thats my opinion Fully agree, but I think they will be strong in Spa again as its a track that traditionally suits their cars. | ||

Heidfeld's car catching fire and exploding was pretty nuts, partially blocking the end of the pit lane too lol. Altogether an enjoyable race I felt. | ||

1. The greatest track left on the calendar is at risk. Spa is being touted as an alternate race with a new French GP. How do you feel about this? http://www.planetf1.com/driver/18227/7093338/-Belgium-and-France-to-alternate-races- My opinion is pretty clear, Spa, Monaco, Silverstone and Monza should ALWAYS have a place in the calendar. They are F1 to me. 2. Gilles Simon is leaving the FIA engine regulation to join a new manufacturer (Pure), basically he has intimate knowledge of every engine on the grid. Is this fair or even ethical? http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/93499 I think he should have a two year (atleast) cooldown if he wishes to work privately in F1. It is unfair to the teams who spend millions in development to have this technology "stolen". 3. Pirelli have confirmed they have offered to provide a qualifying tyre like in the 80's starting next year and are awaiting feedback from the teams and the FIA. Thoughts? http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/93716 I would love this! Will make qualifying more of a unique skill, and is the reason Senna was and is regarded as the GOAT. Personally I would keep it the same as now but give two sets of qualifying tyres to those who make it to the top ten. Then we would see a real pole shootout instead of drivers not wanting to ruin race tyres. 4. Pirelli also confirmed they will not use the hard tyre this season. Ferrari must be ecstatic with this news, McLaren not so much. http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/93680 | ||

Any other F1 news worth sharing? Your welcome  As for other news it is a little light due to the holiday. Bruno Senna has replaced Nick Heidfeld in the Renault for Spa and is suing the team over it in response. He believes he has a solid contract. I guess this means he will be out of the car forever now as they will not want him back. Its a shame I feel for him as he has outperformed Raikonnen, Webber and held his own against Kubica in his career but never recieved the credit he deserved. As for Kubica, he should be able to start to test an F1 car in a couple of months apparently. I think he wont be in a race seat until next year but we may see him on a friday this season. Fingers crossed on that. | ||

I want to see this car: ![[image loading]](http://www.ronpatrickstuff.com/images/AB12_15_05copy.jpg) but it is clearly banned. What are the reasons on restricting car shape? Is the car shape enforced by regulation or does that particular shape proven to work? | ||

The main one being safety to limit speed. | ||
