2005 A1GP Championship - Round 1 - Brands Hatch

[Flibster]

Italy and Malaysia pit on lap 10

 

[Flibster]

Urm... so where's all the overtaking then?

Brands Hatch is a bad circuit for overtaking. It's too narrow at the important points and there's no real big braking areas where thats most likely to happen.

 

[Flibster]

Team GB still behind Australia - 0.25 now...

 

[Flibster]

Pakistan, Netherlands pit on lap 13

 

[Flibster]

Look at the smoke coming from the brakes...

 

[Flibster]

WOAH - Italy and Lebanon all over the place -

Lebanon rolling and upside down...

 

[Flibster]

Safely car on track.

 

[Flibster]

Brazil, Australia and GB pit behind the safety car.

 

[Flibster]

Team GB leaves the pits ahead of Brazil and Australia!

Team GB could be leading!

 

[Flibster]

The guys visor opened when he impacted That'll need to be looked at - they should lock down inplace

 

[Flibster]

Team GB has pulled over!

And he's stopped.

 

[Flibster]

OK, no more dissing the coverage, that's stunning in car stuff!

Could still be better - but just with times and pit stop info showing.

Action wise.

 

[Flibster]

Race underway again.

Australia pulled away...

Brazil on a flyer...

 

[Flibster]

Russia spins after contact and the Safety car is out again

Russia is on the exit of a corner - dangerous position

 

[Flibster]

Australia got a 2 second lead after 1 lap...
Next lap - Brazil pulled him straight back in..

Nelson Piquet Jr is the best driver out there I think

 

[Flibster]

Live timing is stuck on lap 14 for me...

 

[Flibster]

I would give you a run down of who's where...

But I have no idea..

 

[Flibster]

Someone should give Piquet a test after seeing this - Preferably Williams...

Race is underway again.
