With visor problems, was such a great win.
Yeah, that was hilarious. Hamilton driving one of his career's best while Massa thought he was ice skating.

Bring up Vettel's 2011 Canada drive in the wet without mentioning Buttons?!
Button is amazing in the wet. His dad made him use slicks growing up!

I wish I could have been. I was general admission, I arrived at 5am and was sitting in the rain all day. Definitely worth it though, was a great race.
I'm happy to do $10 on that.
Yeah, this was bad. They played it before the 30 minute preview show and then again before the race. I promptly fast forwarded through it the 2nd time :/
Amazing atmosphere that day, got chatting to some hardcore fans, was in F1 heaven.
Was sitting at the Becketts stand which was cool, but was a bit far away from the cars, my "non F1 fan" freinds who where with me weren't that impressed, as it was wet the cars didn't seem to go that fast.
Would have got ticket for corpse, but they sold out!!!!
Its the only time I watched a race live, my dream is to go to Spa then Monaco next!!!
Check out the race highlights here

Its like some kid was given video editing software for his birthday & got his dad to do the voice over.
That was the point. The insinuation is that Vettel is a terrible driver because he went bit off line due to pushing to stay in front and lost the rear end of the car then recovered, which let Button pass.

Yep, I like it.
Button played demolition derby during that race. Lucky bugger survived 2 crashes, while the other guys had to retire.
Haters gonna hate, but I have yet to see such a dominating drive in over 14 years of watching F1.

Stock Windows wallpaper? Really?!
I'm not sure if you can compare Massa to Mass Effect - Mass Effect was great until the final 10 mins - Massa has been crap for a lot longer than that.
Stock Windows wallpaper? Really?!
Hire me to fix that, please.
what's wrong with that?
Can't argue with that.

Poor support for 64-bit applications?
Hardly needed for pit wall related software.

Equally matched throughout the weekend and way ahead of the rest.
Mclaren will win it, rain or dry. Ham for pole and victory, hopefully.
If you listen to Whitmarsh, the car was at a disadvantage in Australia as there aren't that many high-speed corners compared to tracks like Sepang. This was also noted during testing, with the drivers stating that the car behaves extremely well at high speed, hence Hamilton being quoted (somewhat wrongfully) as implying the 2012 car has a similar level of downforce as the outgoing car.

Should be closer next race. RBR did barely test their new exhaust and the rain in FP didn't help either. So the insight from the race should give them a bit of a boost next race.
Then again Australia isn't really a good benchmark for the rest of the season, so who knows.
to be honest australia suits mclaren more than RBR. i think they should be stronger next race.

Massa is the Kaiden of F1.
Hmmmm, I just came up with a joke that I know would offend too many people.

Thinking about changing my fuel to mobil 1, it gives me like 11m back doing so also.

I can confirm that text which made me laugh out loud in my kitchen probably wouldn't be suited to this thread.
However, what would be suited to this thread is celebration that the F1 starts an hour later this weekend I just saw on the F1 channel. I thought it was earlier for some reason. Hurrah!
That was my first F1 race I saw in person. It was a birthday gift to my brother and his girlfriend. Memorable it was.
The best birthday presents to give are always the ones that are really for yourself ;p
Wait... so who's intro is that? It looks like a fairly bad home-done one. Tell me it's not from a broadcaster...
SPEED in the USA. They normally aren't that bad, and I expect it to be much better for the rest of the season.

Yeah, that's... wow. It looks like a bad highschool project using only stock Windows 3.1 fonts, Wordart and royalty-free images. Horrible.
Anyway, from what I can gather the Australian broadcast wasn't that much better with some people saying that, including the pre-race stuff, it was basically a 3-hour advertisement. Shithouse :/
That is why I'd pay a hefty sum to get a solid, uninterrupted broadcast of all the F1 stuff. But that's literally impossible here in Australia.
Which is why some AmeriGAF1 don't watch SPEED. ....I don't have cable/sat anyway so it doesn't really matter, lol.
