Turkish GP -
Saturday Update.
Turkish GP – Qualifying. I am happy enough with the earlier bets on pole position. Perhaps Hamilton is a threat to the Ferraris this afternoon. Being fastest this morning, after such an interrupted set up program due to some niggling mechanical problems, was impressive. The McLarens are holding their own time wise, as they are much quicker in the slower 3rd sector. Ferrari were flying in sector one but by the time they got to the slow corners, they were in trouble. So if you are going to have a bet in running, you may well get a much bigger price on Hamilton after Massa or Raikkonen has just gone massively quicker in sector 1. It seems that the softer of the two tyre compound is not working at all well. Some teams were considering running a 1 stop race but as they have to use both compounds, that now looks very unlikely. 4 points Liuzzi to out qualify Vettel @ 5/6 with Skybet won 3.33 points Liuzzi is not flavour of the month and will not be driving for Red Bull next season. It looks like the thought of life outside of F1 is having the effect of focusing his mind on the job, of well, finding a job. There are rumours of a possible move to Williams but to have any chance he has to beat the much fancied Vettel. If he can, his stock will rise. He has the advantage of knowing the car much better than Vettel, who only has the Hungarian GP and the three practice sessions here, under his belt. There was no testing allowed during the recent 3 week test and this track is very different to the Hungaroring. Liuzzi has been faster in all three sessions so far and was comfortably quicker in qualifying in Hungary. Perhaps Vettels chances are being overrated at this very early stage in his F1 career. He is just a kid in a crappy car, and a crappy car he is not that familiar with. My money is on the more experienced and motivated Liuzzi. |
