I just hack into Bernie's phone and see who he is arranging to finish where. Simples

In all seriousness, I do wonder whether Ferrari and McLaren may have shared some information with each other in a joint effort to peg back Red Bull.

About time I had a win after a few seasons playing this, plenty of 2nd places in that time Shame about a second DNF for Button to make it 10.

The season has moved to a new phase now since Valencia. McLaren has had the best race day car since Barcelona I believe, and Ferrari has recently caught up. Despite the dramas at Silverstone about exhaust regulations, the teams agreed to follow the regs since Valencia where you can't change the exhaust setting between qualifying and race day. This has affected Red Bull's race day car since then, even though it's still the most awesome car on the grid.

Yeah it's all very interesting how the politicking and regulation shifting has affected things. I think you're right about the rule about not changing qualification settings, but I seem to remember that being in place 1 race before the whole fuss about exhaust blown diffusers. And at that race Red Bull were still dominant. I may be wrong about that but if not, it must be that the others have still done a lot of catching up in the last couple of races. Ferrari is easier to explain than McLaren I think - they had an error in their wind tunnel calculations and once they worked out what that was, they were able to redo a lot of their calculations to improve aerodynamically.

Still, I get the feeling if Alonso or Hamilton were driving in Vettel's car, they'd have got the Championship completely sewn up by now! I seriously rate Vettel, but he still has questions to answer about his racecraft.

88 lol I'm not entering early again!
