2005 Belgian Grand Prix

lap times are going up ...rain?
they were doing .55's a while ago

Think it's the tyres starting to go off.

 

[Richard T]

Aha...we've got a good battle..so they're going to an ad break shortly...

cue all the action during the break

 

[rpstewart]

So who's going to blink and go for slicks first?

Intermediate tyres are overheating - become very slippery then.

Looks like it'll soon be time for slicks..

 

[Richard T]

looks like button has a face full of jv

 

[Joe T]

Still too much water for slicks tho

Ralf is very quick in the middle sector but at the rate their tyres are wearing I dont think it'll be long until slicks are getting put on.

Some people want to be updated on the cricket if they're watching the F1.

It aint hard to start a cricket thread and have two threads open at once

would sort the men from the boys

I do have both threads open at once. Only allowed to make 1 post every 20 seconds though, so if something interesting happens people want to know asap .

 

[Flibster]

Mmmmm....

Ben and Jerrys cookie dough and Chocolate fudge brownie ice cream...

Albers pits on lap 23

 

[Joe T]

would sort the men from the boys

And take off most of the cars from the track

I think the odd cricket update is ok, but we have to be sure we dont over do it. I think its unlikely there will be very much action in the next hour, so we should be ok.

yeah keep it up some of us cant multi-task too good

 

[Flibster]

Looks like there is just enough of a dry line for slicks...

But - if you are faster than someone you'll be unable to overtake as it's wet of the racing line.

 

[Joe T]

Kimi is the fatsets man at the mo

 

[//Mike]

Looks like theres a fairly stong dry line emerging now though, must be time for Slicks in the next few laps.

 

[Richard T]

c'mon Jense

Very true.

 

[//Mike]

Button round the outside . Nice move.

 

[Flibster]

R.Schumacher pits on lap 25

And he's on slicks!

 

[Richard T]
