The 2010 season

[teabagyokel]

There are only 5 drivers who have driven every race of the 2009 and 2010 seasons (up to now) with the same team!

Namely: Hamilton [McLaren], Vettel, Webber [Red Bull], Buemi [Toro Rosso] and Sutil [Force India].

The tyre allocations for the last 4 races have been announced. They are:

Japan - Soft | Hard
Korea - Soft | Hard
Brazil - Super Soft | Medium
Au Dhabi - Super Soft | Medium

The complete allocations are available here: F1 2010 Standings & Results

Remaining tyres announced

And for those who don't like links:
Italy (Monza) - soft, hard
Singapore (Singapore) - super soft, medium
Japan (Suzuka) - soft, hard
Korea (Yeongam) - soft, hard
Brazil (Interlagos) - super soft, medium
Abu Dhabi (Yas Marina Circuit) - super soft, medium

First observation show us that there will be no more Hockenhiem type tyres, with a two compound jump. The only one here that could be interesting is Brazil with that twisty middle sector. Sadly we may not get a canadaesque race in the last few races.

Re: Remaining tyres announced

I'll merge this with the main 2010 thread tooncheese which is where I posted it yesterday.

2010 DRIVERS STANDINGS

1) Mark Webber :- 187
2) Lewis Hamilton :- 182
3) Fernando Alonso :- 166
4) Jenson Button :- 165
5) Sebastin Vettel :- 163
6) Felipe Massa :- 124
7) Nico Rosberg :- 112
8) Pobert Kubica :- 108
9) Michael Schumacher :- 46
10) Adrian Sutil :-45

I think Fernando Alonso will come up and win the drivers standing of the year.

I'm personally hoping for a 5-way tie going into the last race. Although the odds of that - well...

 

[gally5]

stranger things have happened chedren! anyone got a feeling there could be a tie on points and overall victory on countback?

 

[Brogan]

I hope not.

That's an awful way to win/lose the championship.

 

[gally5]

I agree, just with less than a win covering the top 5, it's a horrible possibility.

What would be interesting to see, would be if all five had only a few points seperating them in the final race, and all 5 having to go all out racing.

 

[teabagyokel]

Surely that is less likely to happen with the 25 point system and is as such guaranteed to happen!

 

[gally5]

I'm not certain, as i can't remember where I saw it, and subsequently now can't find it, but I think under the old system Hamilton would still be leading by a point with Vettel still 5th and less than a win away.

If the above is correct, the new system has changed the state of play a little (Webbers 4 wins putting him on top where as Hamilton would lead the old system with 3 wins.) but at the same time it's not made a great difference.

Like you say TBY, the system changed to make it unlikely, making it highly likely to happen!

Oh no, the title race will probably be decided at Abu Dhabi . WHAT WAS WRONG WITH INTERLAGOS

 

[F1Yorkshire]

Oh no, the title race will probably be decided at Abu Dhabi . WHAT WAS WRONG WITH INTERLAGOS

You mean the title will be decided after qualifying at Abu Dhabi

So far this season, #2s have scored more points than #1s when you look at whether each driver has a red/yellow bar on his car.



This is the same thing broken down by team

I've thoroughly bloody enjoyed this season so far, in a way I can't wait for the next 5 races although I fear I might pop with excitement.

 

[chreden]

And there's still a whole week to wait! There's only so long I can keep myself entertained with the daily race home on my bike vs the #58 bus!

Edit - I'm fairly sure he cheats sometimes. I may have to bring a black flag one day, then I'm sure to win.

You could probably jump him in the pits?
