gareth_oau 2 Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 GG, they still plan on stopping for tyres. suggestions of tyres stops for 1.8secs is the target Link to post Share on other sites
grungy-gonads 54 Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 Yes just noticed that reading up on it all now. Been a few years since I took much notice! Link to post Share on other sites
pie-eater 207 Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 The build-up programme has just started on BBC1. They got the Fleetwood Mac song back! (Last time I saw it here, it was on ITV with adverts every 10 minutes, usually just before something semi-exciting happened! Link to post Share on other sites

frannyo 2 Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 Hmmmm. The build up and hype was far more exciting than the procession, sorry, race. Link to post Share on other sites
BagOfCrisps 24 Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 Anti-climax. I think the headlines might be interesting, but the races? Link to post Share on other sites
gareth_oau 2 Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 i think the highlight was where one of the pitcrew members almost got his foot run over Link to post Share on other sites
BagOfCrisps 24 Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 I think I will be 'watching' it from the newspaper headlines online or the next day. Link to post Share on other sites
thursday 1 Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 The Chin came 6th. What an achievement. Looks like victories are on the cards for him. Link to post Share on other sites
BagOfCrisps 24 Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 Funny how we had all been duped into thinking this was going to be some great drama. Remind me not to be duped next time! Link to post Share on other sites
panhead_pete 27 Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 At least it still makes sense with Chinese commentators screaming over the top of it Was hoping for Weber to do better but still in the points and better then a crash. Those red cars sure dont look as sexy as they once did. Very different looking with that vertical spine above the engine area, seems to work though.... Link to post Share on other sites
marblehead 0 Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 The cars did look pretty strange didn't they! Pretty strange but not pretty. Link to post Share on other sites
frannyo 2 Posted March 28, 2010 Share Posted March 28, 2010 Anyone watching? Seems that my new sky setup isn't letting me watch. So just looking online now at a text commentary. Sounds like a dramatic start... thanks to the weather. Link to post Share on other sites

pie-eater 207 Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 It was actually pretty good. I am convinced that Hamilton is the better driver than Button. Don't show me up Hammy! Link to post Share on other sites

JA2340 16 Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 But he has no self control, cannot stop himself from burnouts in his (company supplied) Merc! Idiot! The car should have been cubed, that'd raise a question or two in MercLand. Link to post Share on other sites

fukdane 2 Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 Interesting how the spotlight really seems to be off Schumacher right now. I'm interested to know how he is feeling about not being very good now, but can't find much. Wonder how long he will stick at it. Link to post Share on other sites
grungy-gonads 54 Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 I thought the same. BBC, Guardian, Times... - difficult to find much on Chin-man there right now. Link to post Share on other sites

Cubed? its some neanderthal response by authorities when you do something inappropriate (/neanderthal) in your car. they crush it. In Oz, you have the car impounded for 'hoon' behaviour. 3 times and its crushed. I call it neanderthal, because its low-brain 'eye-for-eye' mentality. If you want to punish the driver (and assuming he/she is the owner as well (DOH)), I would confiscate the car and sell it for charity. the stupidity of the law was recently highlighted in Oz when a doctor had his lamborghini impounded for 28 days for 'hoon behaviour', and he wasnt even driving it, it was the mechanic who had broken the law???
