Button looking a bit better but he is still wrecking tyres locking up.

 

[navanman]

Webber fist pump. Man God is angry!!

Looks like the wind is unpredictable and is catching everyone out, quite a frantic session really

 

[brotkasten]

Damn, I wish I could watch this at work.

Looks like they finally fixed his car? Guess we'll find out tomorrow.

Meh, missed the bonus question at F1RM.

He was moaning alot at the start of practice, so I'm not sure how "fixed" it is

DC catching the golf ball that was going at 180 mph.

Brilliant.

 

[Edmond Dantès]

Your memory is faulty

I think that was more because of a dislike for Ron Dennis rather than having anything against Lewis himself. He disliked the favouritism towards Lewis and petulantly took it out on the wrong person.

Alonso, being a petulant idiot? Never...

Oh man, I don't think I can spend any more money in F1RM. My driver lineup can't really improve without putting me into debt and same with engines/chassis. There's some weird pricing on there, so I'll just have to bank this 6mil I have in the kitty

 

[Nolan.]

I'm in love with Mcnish

 

[Shaneus]

Seriously thinking of going all in with Lotus. Can afford them for both engine and chassis... or do I go for FI with one just to be safe? They've been good, consistent finishers... probably the best next to RBR as far as being bankable goes.

HMMM.

 

[navanman]

Looks like a big upgrade for RBR on their rear exhaust bodywork.

 

[Shaneus]

How so?

 

[brotkasten]

Looks like a big upgrade for RBR on their rear exhaust bodywork.

Any pictures of the upgrade?

 

[Orgun]

Jeez, did everyon work for Jordan at some point!? heh

 

[Nolan.]

Bad luck already for Schumacher?

 

[SunhiLegend]

Alonso is 6 races away from beating Schumacers record of most consecutive race point finishes in F1. He currently is on a run of 19.

 

[Nolan.]

Mcnish makes Crofty look like he knows very little

 

[Orgun]

De Le Rosa in the wall

 

[Psychotext]

Mmm... understeer.

 

[kharma45]

That was a weird accident.

 

[SunhiLegend]

 

[brotkasten]

Scenes like that make me want to see Hamilton, Vettel or Alonso in that car.

 

[navanman]

Need GIF of man taping the car together

 

[kharma45]

Switched to BBC coverage during the Sky adverts... fucking Legard.

 

[Sleeplessnights]

What is Koba checking?

 

[SunhiLegend]

 

[kharma45]

What is Koba checking?

Probably tyre wear, or seeing if there was any graining.

 

[Goldrusher]

Haha.

 

[Dilly]

Bhaha, that understeer.

Also, the last thing this shitty GP needs is another Vettel win.

 

[Edmond Dantès]

Bhaha, that understeer.

Needs a Schumacher, Massa or Raikkonen win.

Thanks for this, it's how I wasted my morning!

 

[Betta Lines]

Is De La Rosa alright? It was an unspectacular crash and not all that fast, but he stopped very suddenly... it looked worse than Petrov's weird one in Monaco 2011 that sent him to hospital...

 

[Dilly]

If I remember it correctly that was because Petrov is quite large and because of that it's easier for him to injure his lower back.

Or something like that.

 

[RomanticHeroX]

Driving for HRT has gotta be depressing. Constantly fighting a car that can bite back at any corner and the best result you can aim for is not being dead last.

 

[Omiee]

yeah im going with sauber shumi and maldonado this weekend.

lets hope the bet will be worth it.

 

[AndyD]

I think I am still going to pump more money into the team and keep terrible drivers.

 

[kharma45]

He got out of the car and walked around it fine.

Read something on f1technical about RBR coming up with a clever fairing to cover the drive shafts.

http://www.omnicorse.it/magazine/19...bull-ora-carena-il-semiasse-dentro-due-bracci

omnicorse reports that rbr have evolved the concept of driveshaft fairing by using the suspension arm and the trackrod to buid two partial farings and loophole around the rule that forbids closed fairings.

very interesting and in line with what was discussed in this thread in preseason. Also nice picture of the suspension arms.

Driveshaft fairing is a newey trademark since 1994. A circular rotating cylinder has an upwash effect, and its drag is around 1 order of magnitude greater than the drag of a faired cylinder of the same height.

Needs a Schumacher, Massa or Raikkonen win.

I'd be okay with Schumacher winning this GP.

 

[Xun]

It sucks I won't be able to watch the race live this weekend, even if it is Valencia.

 

[Adamm]

Needs a Schumacher, Massa or Raikkonen win.

lol

 

[Wax Free Vanilla]

lol @ Anderson's story when he said a drunk man fell off the garage complex at LeMans and landed on his head breaking his neck.

Video or it didn't happen.

 

[Omiee]

I'd be okay with Schumacher winning this GP.

me as well, kimi or shumi for a win would be good news.

 

[Az]

me as well, kimi or shumi for a win would be good news.

I agree with this.

 

[Omiee]

lets extend this different winner streak longer.

anyone have a pic of the RBR exhaust update?

 

[ANDY_098]

 

[Adamm]

lets extend this different winner streak longer.

We are running out of people who could actually win races (without a completely crazy race)

Schumacher, Kimi & maybe Grosjean are the only 3 left.
