I love the way they've got the fantastically cool new technology of letting us hear the team radios, and then those two pillocks talk all over it

Could be good considering some of the stuff I've heard on the team radio's..

"tell that ******* ****sucker to get the **** out of my ******* way!"

The Final Qualifying session is 4 hours before the race.
As soon as the results are in my sweaty mitts I'll post them up here..I will try to hide them though so you can have a bit of a surprise..

As far as I know - Qual2 is going to be tacked onto the begining of the race show. Shame...ITV2 and ITV3 show crap so why not put the whole race weekend on there....

Rightyho..

Just checked the times of the qual2 and Race.

Qualifying 2 is at 23:00 tonight - should have the results by 00:30
ITV2 coverage starts at 02:00 - race starts at 03:00.

I've got plenty of times to go to Tesco's to get some snacks for tonight. Got the Toffee Popcorn - need more coke, crisps, ice cream and crap like that.

Also need to get some more Bond films in - seen all 3 I rented from blockbusters already today.

Be back later.

»R.Schumacher did a laptime aggrogated out below.
»Freicher did a laptime as well in the Minardi...very slow.

I've moved from lime coke & JD to vanilla coke & JD but tht doesn't really compare.

I'm used to having Aus grand prix party when I was living with the parents.

They'd sod off for the weekend. I'd get a load of mates around and we'd eat crap and watch the GP.

The eating crap has kind of hung around. No mates near me here who like F1

This is the same stuff as yesterday during qual 1

Why do they have a porn film soundtrack going in the background of the CG sections of the rules changes?

Flibster · 6 Mar 2005 at 02:11

At least it's giving me a chance to send a txt to one of my friends who's going to be asleep atm *got a kid* with the qual positions

Me? Cruel bugger? Yup.

Flibster · 6 Mar 2005 at 02:12

Ooooh..Kimi caught that nicely. :eek:

Shame - he was much faster than Montoya.

Flibster · 6 Mar 2005 at 02:21

I'm not sure what to say about the Jordan - the chassis looks terrible.
I think the Engine is making up for it a lot. The Toyota engine is meant to be stunning. Especially as Jordan are currently running the previous revision engines to Toyota themselves. Still a 2005 spec - just slightly older than Toyota's own.

Not impressed so far...

Show me something new/imteresting/F1 related please.
