So, 14 laps in... What do we think?
This track is absolute filth for F1 racing?

A GP2 track and nothing more.

but it has nice modern facilities for the corporates and sponsors.......

That's the key bit. I know he's not their to support Hamilton (ahem), but Heiki just needs to back off a few tenths, and if Hamilton has enough fuel, things could get interesting.

EDIT - Ah well, that's that shot then

And lets not forget the nice concrete run off areas so they can easily get back on track again.

Kovaleinen to his lap dog tricks this lap!

Edit: I take it back, he didnt! Well done Kov, my opinion of you has just elevated.

Doesn't look like he needs to.

this live timing is rubbish it breaks when ever someone pits

Anyone else noticed that Ferrari haven't refitted the front wheel spinner disks on both cars? Wonder if the brake temps are high.

Did not notice this, well spotted.

Thought we hadn't had a break in a while.

At least waited for the main competitors to pit

I thought those were designed for brake cooling though? :confused:

Will be interesting to see the highlights of this race, so far there's about 3 minutes of "interesting" stuff that's happened.

Edit: Will the lengthy running from Glock and Heidfeld really pay off? They're just going to slip back.

Joebob · 24 Aug 2008 at 13:40

meh - bloody adverts. Now I remember why I normally Virgin + it and watch it when it's 30+ minutes in. Get to forward wind the adverts.

Another F1 yawnfest. This is an awful track for racing.

This is the quote of the day.
It is an absolute truth.

Mm, yeah, maybe they are running too cold? :confused:
