    relaxed Vettel, stiff Alonso…. let’s see if this weekend we see a sample of Alonso’s nerves breaking in some way, a mistake, yelling to his engineers, etc, etc

      We will see how relaxed he would be if he doesn’t get the pole

      Temps are going to be much lower than recent races. The ferrari has gone well in lower temp races, so it could very well be Vettel under pressure again :]

      I think he makes music. Something like MC HAM, if I am not mistaken. And he likes driving a Mercedes as fast as it goes and do some burnouts in them. He’s been around F1 in the last couple of years @hohum, even trying at being a comic.
