Maldonado was rather strong arm, and a little clumsy, but I thought Grosjean could have yielded a bit sooner. That he didn't meant he was conspicuously putting his car into a position to be hit.<br /><br />On Mercedes, yes Schumi retired early, but even his pace while he was running seemed not nearly as strong as most had anticipated for the Mercedes. We've been waiting a long time for Mercedes to get it right, and on today's evidence we're getting another false dawn from them. Its still early days of course though.Graham Keillohhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11514708469215327323noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3682262344930040012.post-75256059731792701722012-03-18T21:00:52.395+00:002012-03-18T21:00:52.395+00:00This comment has been removed by the author.Graham Keillohhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11514708469215327323noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3682262344930040012.post-16545212742300875632012-03-18T18:20:20.854+00:002012-03-18T18:20:20.854+00:00Nice blog my friend. A few comments from me:
Vett...Nice blog my friend. A few comments from me:<br />Vettel lucked out for 2nd though I think definitely third was in the cards. <br />Maldonado ran into Grosean, the rear stepped out at the wrong time time.<br />Schmui was unlucky with his mechanical, so "same old, same old" is a little harsh.<br />I think Alonso would have finished 4th but the SC period cooled off his tyres and he couldn't get them heated again. <br />As good as Button was, Hamilton's lack of pace was perplexing. Maybe something in his setup gave him good speed on low fuel and not on heavy. He was very slow off the line at lights out.<br /><br />Anyway, let's see what Malaysia brings....
