If SPEED would air it without commercials that would help I think. But let's face it, that's never going to happen :p


Yeah it doesn't help. Last year I got so angry with the sheer volume of commercial breaks I did some analysis. During a single GP Speed would cut the coverage every 10 minutes for 4 minutes of commercials. Which means for every 7 lap of the race I would only actually be able to watch 4 laps.

You know those times you just feel PRs make up what team principals said?

MARTIN WHITMARSH
Team principal, Vodafone McLaren Mercedes
“Tomorrow’s race will be fast and hard, too. Bring it on!”

Hmmm..

Anyway, Luca diM has been speaking again, sadly. Wants 2 shorter races a weekend rather than 1. If he wants that, he can fuck off and buy Coloni's old slot in GP2

Well Ferrari threatened to go to Indycar 25 or so years ago, now is as good as time as any. And they'll get the twin Texas races as a bonus.

What happened to Alonso? Most part of the time making super flying laps, then out of a sudden in Q3 doing shitty laps. Didn't understand!

F*ck McLaren though, they simply can't win again!

Rear ant-roll bar broke at the start of Q3

Meh sucks for Alonso, I hope he can make up some ground in the race.
Things are really turning bad for his championship lead :(

All the top drivers have had their share of bad luck this season, now it's the same with Fernando. Lewis had his share with the pitstop mistakes, Räikkönen with bad strategies by the team and Vettel at Valencia with electronics. It's part of the game.

I wonder how many cars Maldonado will hit at turn 1 starting there from the back!?


I have no clue of how many cars will be affected by Maldonado at turn 1, but I can name someone who'll get messed up because of him: Massa.

I'm really hoping Massa has a good race, a podium would be fantastic for him.

Same. It seems likely he's out, so I'd be a fitting way to say goodbye I guess.

Just switched onto the BBC. Time to compare coverage :p

Hopefully Massa may do what he does best, a strike on the first chicane hitting Button & Hamilton at once, giving space for an Alonso chase! That would've been a fantastic way to say goodbye to Ferrari and F1. I'm with you Massa, hit the McLarens!

I think Alonso has driven brilliantly this year. But that would be a shame. It's sad to have that attitude.

Anyway, here's how tall Pau Gasol is compared to the aforementioned Fred

And here is why Luca wants 2 F1 races in a weekend

And yet you wonder why people think your posts are retarded...

Hoping for this is just pathetic.

'Ferrari wants what benefits Ferrari' shocker.

I just wish they wouldn't try and dress it up as being beneficial for F1.

Yeah, I know he's mad and I don't care. I do not care. I did not care then. I do not care now. I'm here to race him.

Alonso posted this on his twitter

Year 2006, we arrived at Monza leaders, broken car in q3, penalties, start 10th, stop in the 1st chicane, engine problem, a marshal take me into the paddock on the bike. We won championship ... ;)

Year 2012, we arrived at Monza leaders, q3 car broken , start 10th , engine problem on Friday at the 1st chicane, same marshal brings me to the paddock in the bike. Hopefully it will be a good year at the end .. ;)))!

Apparently the drivers have been bitching about the speedbumps in the chicanes saying they damage the cars...

Well, just don't use them then, dolts.

Make em bigger, Charlie
