Doesn't look too bad for Caterham. They're most likely in the middle back now (but probably slowest). HRT and Marussia are big fails, though. No KERS and no new cars in tests.

HRT at least looks good.

Looks like last years williams, although they were using similar parts bins

Anarion · 03-07-2012, 18:29 | posts: 9,175 | Location: Finland

They have no chance... No KERS and barely got anything ready in time.

Does it get aired on the internet anywhere?
I watch tv maybe 2 hours a year, but now that Kimi's back I thought why not, anyway my point it I only have a CRT tv, which is not very big, I'd rather use my PC screen for that, and I have my comfy PC chair :p

Nvm, I found out that my local tv stations sends the live, and they have a **********.

Kimi will be on top great smashing Vettels time on Sunday.

Vandrende Pind · 03-09-2012, 18:46 | posts: 1,178 | Location: Copenhagen, Denmark

So who's taking the championship this year? My vote's on Hamilton!

NoviceRei · 03-09-2012, 19:32 | posts: 2,118 | Location: Philippines

I want Jenson to win again a WDC.

Vandrende Pind · *Last edited by Vandrende Pind; 03-09-2012 at 19:37.*

What's a WDC? edit: nevermind, world driver's championship...

I really don't want Vettel to win again, he's too much of a goldenboy.

Anarion · 03-09-2012, 19:44 | posts: 9,175 | Location: Finland

I can't guess yet. But it is definitely not going to be Alonso.

i still think Newey and the RB7 won it for Vettel. I'm not saying he's slow, but put any of the top drivers in their car and results would've been the same if not better.

Ferrari's car seems to be a handful according to news.. so more pressure and work load for their drivers.
