Positive Vett-ing

October 12, 2012 by Joe Saward

Red Bull Racing showed that it still has a solid gap over the opposition in F1 at the moment in the second practice session in Korea on Firday. Sebastian Vettel was three-tenths ahead of team-mate Mark Webber, while the rest trailed the Australian, the pack headed by Fernando Alonso, Jenson Button, Michael Schumacher, Felipe Massa and Nico Rosberg. Lewis Hamilton was eighth ahead of Nico Hulkenberg and Kimi Raikkonen. Romain Grosjean was 11th chased by Bruno Senna, Paul di Resta, Kamui Kobayashi, Sergio Perez, who stopped out on the track, Jean-Eric Vergne and Dan Ricciardo. Pastor Maldonado had a minor off but did not seem quick and was left ahead of the usual back three teams, led by Heikki Kovalainen, with Timo Glock and Charles Pic shaking the tree by getting ahead of Vitaly Petrov. At the back Narain Karthikeyan outran Pedro de la Rosa.

      Thanks to some great people in F1 and in Korea, I am still operational. I will need to buy a new computer on the way home, and so I am concentrating my efforts on people who pay me money. The blog may be useful for people, but if you can tell me how it pays my bills then I would love to hear about it.

        Well I bought your books from the blog and also have subscribed for 2 years now to your e mag from the blog.

        Oh, I didn’t know you have other work you do for pay besides the e-magazine you put out. I would love to read some of your other work if you could point me in the right direction.

        Great to hear the “team” have rallied around to keep you going..

        It pays your bills by promoting GP Plus which I subscribe to, to help subsidise this blog.
        Not because the magazine isn’t brilliant but because I much prefer checking out your blog a few times a day for up to the minute news and (specifically, your) opinions.
        Of course theres a huge web site out there that does that up to the minute stuff but not with your critiques and opinions. The way you do it, here’s the story, but now here’s the real story – is consistently perfect. And was apparent from virtually day one of this blog.

        But your right and raising funds from giving away stuff is a problem that mainstream news organisations etc are still grappling with too.

    Are there still rumblings about twisty wings as opposed to bendy wings, to put it technically.

    think hamilton didn’t get a run on options but the others did

      He said he was “mystified by poor performance”. Hmmm… were Alonso’s fears of sabotage justified back-in-the day? Hamilton’s already humiliated their next years driver in the last race, wouldn’t look great if (this years performance continued) and he destroyed their current driver too??

      Just a random thought, don’t kill me over it :)
