So much sport today, currently watching Roland Garros, then its Spain-Italy during the tennis. Then F1 and the ireland match. Crazy, but of course Formula 1 is the main priority
I'm doing the same thing, but swap the tennis for watching quali from yesterday as I was out at a party. Love these sport days.
I was hoping the tennis would be fast and end before the football, but it doesnt look like it will anymore.
I need more screens.
Remember last year with F1 and Le mans? Thats was one great weekend.
but this weekend is amazing as well. Roland garros, F1, spain italy and than ireland.
love it!!

I was thinking the same thing just now. Tennis is the lowest priority though and Spain vs Italy the highest.
Link for hi-res version please?
Was it that last post he made that got him banned?

One screen for football, the biggest screen for F1 and the other one for GAF. It's the only way to handle this.
I am also doing the same. I got some beers for the whole day.

Today should be hotter, they might struggle with race pace. Ferrari on the other hand are very quick in these conditions.
You got PM

I think the Ferrari prefers the colder conditions as well. I know they were quick yesterday, but that would be the first time, iirc.
And goddammit, Italy is already killing me.
Ferrari were quick in barcelona though. Red bull seem to be faster in these conditions though.
Not the spain team im used to, they are playing pretty bad so far.

But they brought some big upgrades to Barcelona, so that was expected.
Fine by me. Problem is, it's exactly the Italy I'm used to. :/
Spain will win 2-1.
no
Yes but they have this weekend as well.

Nope. Only the highlights later.
Should be worth watching though. Watched their qualy highlights and man its so much better than sky.
Casiliaaaas.

So again, it's expected that Ferrari is quick this weekend, despite the conditions.
Hmm lol your right.
Anyhow the race should be so enteratining. Williams have the pace no matter what qualy showed us. Maldonado was purple in the first sector before hitting the wall.
Alonso and Hamilton battle should be fun to watch.
Vettel will probably pull a gap in the first part of the race.
Look out for button to overtake a few. Webber should be 8th by the first corner.
Mercedes will make things interesting for the fight for podium though. They seem to have the same race pace as mclaren.

I think it's time to stop betting on Lotus. They don't seem to be able to keep up with the development pace.
Its 2011 all over again, they were so good at the first half of the year and completely lost the pace for the rest of the year.

Even Williams kinda starts to look better than them. They almost pulled a Ferrari with the development of the car. Now if they only had capable drivers. Someone like Kimi might've been a good idea ... Oh well!
Going by yesterday, Vettel should win the race easily. Alonso might be able to stay within 10 seconds or so from him, not expecting much from the McLarens to be honest. Hoping for a Schumi podium, although just finishing the race could be considered a success at this point. Doubt the race will be exciting though unless someone screws up royally.
Sauber and Williams improved a lot from last year. I think Sauber might be faster than lotus this race.

Once Vettel stays on P1, it will be hard to get him again, but the first corner won't be easy for him. Also, lets not forget the chance of the safety car bringing the pack back together again.
You just know were going to get 2 or 3 safety cars this race. Either HRT or one of the williams cars will crash in to the wall of champions.
If vettel manages to defend first in the first corner he should be fine for the remainder of the race.
