Which lap will Vettel do his signature cock-up on ?

He'll have an incident free race this weekend. He knows it's all over for this year.

Interesting --you mean, no pressure, no cock-up ?

There was a link on twitter from one of the German websites saying that Merc were 50 kg unbalanced come race time in the US.

Some sort of combo of pump, suspension and tyre pressures or something.

I reckon he's still got a lot to prove at Ferrari. He needs a couple, at least, good races to close off the season. Ferrari are fickle and he doesn't want them favouring the new guy.

Where’s that? Hopefully, somewhere that’s not likely to cause the same bloody issue as last week

I expect this is peak loadings rather that stationary weight as translated. Would make sense as a slight change in weight from a different spec of water pump (higher flow to cope with the warmer race day temps) could have change the balance slightly. Normally they would adjust the car to suit the altered weight distribution but because they were in parc ferme they have to leave the suspension setup alone.

T11, this should deter for overtaking when 'off the track'.

These have been upgraded on t2 too...

Of course they did.

ferrari cheat a win by playing the system, ferrari as ever. Liberty should, as far as they're able, push the fia to make the procedure of deciding legality more clear cut and final.

Yep.

This weekend should be interesting technically.
