Webber crashed out when his brake fail le

 

then even earlier in the race:

 

"On lap 21 Sutil spins while attacking Jaime Alguersuari and

tries to keep his foot in it and loops around and collects Heidfeld,

who is out on the spot. The Safety Car is deployed with much

debris on the track."

 

hey jonbummer can let mi test drive out yr kart?

[Jonbummer]

there was one odd thing i cannot make out when i watch

the race start until i read today that Heidfeld was DQ from

the qualifying results as he was running below the minimum

weight requirement

 

aiyo.. i thot only people like us will make such 'mistake'

[Jonbummer]

i dun think there will be much takers to uses normal salon cars

to 'race' the track

 

this track is really not easy...

 

F1 cars took about and average 1min 49sec per lap here

 

other F1 tracks have an average lap times of 1min 30sec

and most of those are slightly longer that the singapore track too

 

i would just try it on the simulator... i wonder why no Singtel simulator

this year, or did i missed it?

 

 

agree.. it's not only abt it being esay.... it's abt safety. racing on a street circuit between 2 rows or concrete walls in a regular car (abeit zeng for racing) minus the crash bars...

F1 Rocks

[Jonbummer]

just add this to here...

 

that the F1 season is coming to a close, it almost time to see who will

crown champion real soon

 

although this year it will not be a driver from one of the 'BIG' team eyeing for it

it still has all the twists and drama to the end

 

from f1-live.com, with the equation:

 

Jenson Button

if Rubens belongs to another team, i believe he can stop Button. But because they're in the same team, things will be under control. Not that Brawn won't be fair to his drivers, but he'll want them to maintain discipline and secure the constructors. It would be more exciting should Vettel be the one closing in, then we'll see a real race. Poor Rubens!

[Felipe]

i do wish for more overtaking but it's a street track.

[Jonbummer]

Rubens is now been given a real chance to challenge

which is more than he had when he was in Ferrari

 

in the Brawn team, he will get same equipment, and know what his

team mate is doing and going to do. so to me, i feel it will be more

interesting than having Vettel challenging Button at this stage

 

cos Vettel is on the last engine quota, and another one will mean

a grid penalty, he is treading on a thin line

Vettel disputes Singapore penalty

 

A drive through penalty ended victory hopes

 

Sebastian Vettel does not think he sped in the pitlane last Sunday in Singapore. The Red Bull driver's already slight championship chances diminished yet further under the Singapore floodlights, where he received a drive-through penalty for breaching the pitlane speed limit by 1.4kmh.

 

Team officials unofficially protested the infringement after the race, showing the stewards and race director Charlie Whiting telemetry that did not back up the speeding.

 

Vettel told the German news agency SID on Thursday that he believes there was a "measuring error" by the FIA.

 

"I hope the same thing doesn't happy to anyone else in the future," he said. "The speed limit should be independent of the track on which you're driving."

 

He is referring to the fact that pitlane speed is not measured by laser or radar, but rather by measuring the time it takes cars to travel through various fixed segments.

 

 

 

"We have data from our car that shows clearly that we didn't exceed the speed limit," said Vettel, whose Renault powered car is limited electronically in the pitlane to 99.5kmh.

 

"Drivers take different lines in the pitlane. In the (Singapore) pit entry there was a line which you could drive over. Some did it a little, others a little bit more, like myself. It was completely legal," he explained.

 

Cutting the pitlane curve, Vettel believes, had the result of making it appear he went too fast through one of the timed segments.
