Well it was enough to shift the Mclaren positions, he'll be absolutely kicking himself! Nice save though, looked like he could have smashed into the wall.
Karthikeyan's done a solid job, good on him!

For the love of christmas, a feature on cricket? Cricket? What exactly does this have to do with high performance race cars? Or anything motor related?

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.

Motorized Lawnmowers?

We get what, 2 minutes of qualifying 2 coverage?

plus a feature that is a repeat of what was played last night...

and this feature on mark webber/cricket...

and we've still gotta put up with james allen for a couple of hours

Emlyn_Dewar · 6 Mar 2005 at 02:24

Well, we saw what the Jordan was like last year, Heidfeld worked his ass off to make it look anything like an f1 car. Since it's pretty much the same chassis, we can expect some scary twitchy cornering...

Flibster · 6 Mar 2005 at 02:25

Not impressed so far...

Show me something new/imteresting/F1 related please.

Flibster · 6 Mar 2005 at 02:28

This is more like it - Jordan selling up.

What a place for a Car launch! Superb. Looked on the cold side but who cares.

Just checked the PVR - 1.2gb file so far.. :eek:

May have to recode it to something more sensible other than mpeg2.

Emlyn_Dewar · 6 Mar 2005 at 02:31

Was that not an ej-13? Didn't look like 14/15... Maybe my eyes are just funny...

Look, missing the wings infront of the sidepods and the nose is very low/sleek...

Flibster · 6 Mar 2005 at 02:35

May well be a 13 with some 14 bodywork on it.

WOuldn't be the first time they've done that.

Flibster · 6 Mar 2005 at 02:35

Ooooh...Brundles accident...Ouch...

But more importantly - Murray - F1 GOD

Emlyn_Dewar · 6 Mar 2005 at 02:38

The paragon headquarters... Luxurious! Was it worth spending all the money in the world? Probably not...

Flibster · 6 Mar 2005 at 02:41

It's a great place - the F1 roadcars cars in the entrance hall is a nice touch.

But it's not just the F1 bit thats there - It's pretty much the heart of the McLaren Group.

Plus - it goes back to the old saying - if you want them to be winners - treat them like winners

Flibster · 6 Mar 2005 at 02:43

B. Jarno Trulli...

Flibster · 6 Mar 2005 at 02:45

Aha,,the gridwalk.

Always good entertainment. Expecially with Brundle running around trying to find someone who will talk to him.

Flibster · 6 Mar 2005 at 02:46

lol...Natural break...
He went for a pee.

Isn't it cruel that the nervous system for humans is located in the bowels.

Emlyn_Dewar · 6 Mar 2005 at 02:47

I like when he just picks some random, "who are you, and what are you doing?"

Fire 1 · 6 Mar 2005 at 02:48

Do yous think that Kimi damaged the underside of the car when he ran wide in Qual 2?

I think he might have

Flibster · 6 Mar 2005 at 02:49

He's found DC. He always speaks to DC, but that could be because he's part of DC's management team maybe...

DC does seem relaxed though. He's finally got a team built around him now really.
