Ya reckon you could not want him to pass Vettel every race for the rest of the season. Just once. Last lap every time will be fine. Don't need to show off and do it after every pit stop when Red Bull cock it up

Kobayashi does deserve some great results. The dudes a legend in the making. I think the Sauber must be alright but he'll be a weapon if he ever gets a top ride. Shame Honda or Toyota aren't still around cos I think he would have been exactly what they needed.

As for Webber being stuck behind slower cars. Think back to last year. How many passes do you remember Vettel making. Sweet bugger all is my memory.

Before he got a Newey car they were all crap and I really reckon Newey makes them so perfect that they struggle with dirty air more than other cars on the grid. Get them in front with clean air and they go like scalded cats but!!!

Yeah I read today Webber saying he thinks the car has too much downforce and thats whats killing the tyres.. . Vettel can just manage it better than he can. Would love to see Kobayashi in a real car next year, He should take Webbers seat

You mihgt be onto something about them struggling when stuck behind a car. Doesn't help when mark finally gets a pole position and forgets to launch

Incredibly challenging passes there.
In fairness TJ, most of the time Webbers kers doesn't work and he has the second least powerfull engine in the field (bar the cossie!)

Yes it may be a deamon around a corner in FREE AIR but it doesn't really have the legs for overtaking

Disclaimer: i am a Webber fan but i have rated Koby as one of the best drivers over the past 2 seasons (and really want to see him in a good car next year!)

He was?

Could you please list these for us?

You mean Australia 2010 when his wing failed through no fault of his own?

As for the RBR - the renault being down on power is pretty much b/s - look at Renault who often top the speed traps. Nothing wrong with the motor.

The KERS is the main issue but it is widely acknowledged that the renault power plant is down compared to the mec and fezza units though!

If they could get the KERS right it would be 1-2 RBR every race!

I think your thinking of Sato Single handedly kept carbon fibre suppliers in business for his entire F1 career.

Was spectacular to watch you just knew he was never going to pull off any moves he tried though.
