It's funny cause it's the exact same thing I was thinking... but I wasn't brave enough to post it.
Q: (Stefano Mancini – La Stampa) Kimi, will you help Vettel to win his championship this year?

The fact that one Red Bull, one Haas was out of the reckoning and they still couldn't put one car in Q3 is quite damning..

like i said, the new williams.
it was obvious since testing. a lot of drag, looks stiff as fuc* as always, and nowhere to hide now, around 2 seconds slower than the top.. yeah a lot of problems, and engine.. hahahahahq the Honda with 2 Rockies in a second tier team do better.

so same as last year. but no engine to blame.

Because the chassis is crap and outdated. We’re not talking about a few tenths, but seconds. Don’t believe anything what Boullier and Brown tells you. They are in big trouble, even bigger than last year.

It will be interesting to see how top management reacts, surely somebody's job will be on the line

Darggy chassis. I am really sorry for Alonso - he is my favorite, but made a terible mistake. Actualy the next one in a row ...
