damn... if vettel wins it tomorrow, it will be somewhat 'anti-climax', as after half the races it seemed it would be a 4-5 way fight until the last race...

I'm genuinely pleased that HRT managed to pick up so much pace and get in. Can't imagine they've got much of a future after Brazil so it would suck to not make the last couple of races.

The highlight of the weekend so far for me was seeing Georgie Thompson in those tight blue jeans. Marvellous!

Webber to be called to the steward's office for not going to the weight check after Q1.

No penalty as the team brought the car to the weighpoint after realising their mistake.

Same thing happened earlier in the season with Vergne, with the same result.

With the full reasoning, it seems like a fair outcome.

"Driver failed to proceed directly to the FIA garage for weighing when signalled to do so. However upon realising the error, the team brought the car back to the FIA garage immediately."

Kobayashi got a 5 place grid penalty for missing the weight check in 2010 (Hungary?), but I don't think they pushed the car back straight away.

IMO Kobayashi got off lightly.

Didn't one of the STR's (Vergne from memory) do a similar thing earlier this year?

If Vettel wins, Alonso has to finish at least 4th, isn't it? Oh my.

Well, Alonso have said he will outscore Vettel tomorrow.

Today our commentator kept on talking about the celebrities in the pits and about other irrelevant info during qualifying. So I tweeted I will watch SpeedTV's livestream tomorrow so I won't have to listen to his celebrity bs. He actually took the time to fire a personal attack towards me. Mailed the TV company, I wonder what they have to say about this :yuk:

Here is the tweet btw: https://twitter.com/Olav_Mol/status/269917583459885056

What does "schikken" mean, is that an insult over there? Never heard it before being Flemish

I think you need to grow a thicker skin. If I sent a message to someone saying they we're crap at their job, I certainly wouldn't get offended if they told me to fuck off (I'm paraphrasing, but I guess that's essentially what happened).

viXious · PostPosted: Sun Nov 18, 2012 12:43 am

He meant 'schrikken' which means he is startled about it.

So you want a better quality commentary but you're going to Speed to get that? That's kind of a contradiction.

Mäth · PostPosted: Sun Nov 18, 2012 2:06 am

He'll get no commentary actually

He means the onboard streams

kals · PostPosted: Sun Nov 18, 2012 2:09 am

Ok I understand. Now that is a good idea.

Unless you can fully understand Dutch ( for beginners use this Friends episode... ) You are wrong I’m sorry

. Like I said in a other thread earlier on, the RTL GP crew, ten years ago, where very focused and interested in F1, they encouraged viewers to ask them hard questions in there Q&A each episode. Nowadays they only like to be a celebrity (locally) and act like such...

If you'd know who he is or watched F1 this season you would know what I am talking about. I'm not the only one who thinks it's time to retire. Also, when I get told I'm crap at my job, I don't respond or I'd ask them why they are saying that. I most certainly wouldn't insult or attack the person stating it. I have quite a thick skin, which is necessary for the job I am doing, but I don't accept personal attacks that make no sense at all.
