Odds of the youngster making it another first place?
The rest of the placings could be interesting, though, with potential overtaking going into corners 1 and 10?

Evens at least given his form, unless the other teams have strapped rockets to the back of their cars, it's surely another RedBull pole/win.

[DzjwMKo5]

Any one of you playing F1manager?

[Diandaplaipsy]

The Red Bulls are just way too fast to the point where you may as well forget they are in a championship. Similar crap happened with Schumacher and Ferrari when they had the best car by a long way... The only time anyone gets in top two is if the Red Bulls have problem with the car.

They have done well to tighten the rest of the field in terms of overtaking etc, but someone needs to bring the smackdown on the Red Bulls before the championship becomes a bore...

I bet you wouldn't be so butthurt about the whole thing if it were Mclaren's dominating the F1. By the way, Louis Hamilton reminds me a lot of Aresnal FC - on one day he could easily be the best driver in the world, and one week later he does something so stupid that no words can describe his stupidity.

Vettel is currently the best F1 driver whether his car is the fastest or not i'm pretty sure he deserves the title. He's the new Michael Schumacher.

They should get rid of deadwood though, by deadwood i mean Webber - he doesn't deserve to be Vettel's teammate.

[Uhmavano]

I think Rosberg would be good to replace Webber. I don't think Webber's that bad though, he's just been made to look worse than he is. Plus it's almost like he's hurting from last year.

[TZtrDuso]

Webber is getting owned by Vettel this year, like Alonso owned Massa last year.

Sure Webber had an amazing race in China, but he just can't get within a prayer of Vettel in qualifying, it's starting to get embarrassing.

Schumacher also needs to be replaced, and if the Di-Resta rumours are correct, that would be a good call for the team. Likewise Webber could be replaced by Alguersuari next year it seems.

[tactWeiccaf]

You are all insane if you think another driver other then one that has been through the Red Bull drivers program will be replacing Webber.

Lets just hope that this is an interesting race. Not sure if using the super hards will be a great idea in Spain.

I never understood this whole "let's punish the best team lolz" mentality. If a team is just that much better than others by the same rules, they deserve it.

Totally agree - anything else is like being at school where there's no winner in a race, they all get 'first prize' for trying.
Over the years, there have been many times when a single team has been dominant - it was up to the rest to pull finger and think smarter to beat them.
Doesn't make much difference to the racing further down the field.

[TZtrDuso]

Holy crap, RedBull are two seconds faster than everyone else in 2nd practice so far...[surrender]

[defenderfors]

And who can split them? Lewis of course.

[Uhmavano]

Yeah, McLaren will always makes sure Red Bull are at least trying. All pretty predictable thus far.

Yeah someone has to keep them honest. Despite Red Bulls obvious advantage I've still really enjoyed the races so far this season, thanks mainly down to Pirelli of course.

Imagine if they were still using tyres that only required one stop in a race... eeh.

Well yeah. All the people who moan and DRS and the tyres etc.... I bet if we were still with Bridgestone and rules of last year it would be crap so far.

[DzjwMKo5]

I think they should turn F1 into something more like Death Race...

Bet that'd be fun!

[Uhmavano]

Heidfeld just avoided Rapture in this morning practice.

[nizcreare]

And Ferraris with "illegal" rear wings they need to change pronto!
