yeah come on you lot!!
gissa proper race

martin sounds very croaky....... not good...... means greaseball will talk more

oh and moooorrreee ads

 

[Richard T]

Maybe you mean, why arent they trying to pass?

The radio messages indicate that Fisi can go 2 laps longer than the target because he is going slower than expected.

thats coz he's doing the trulli move

 

[Flibster]

Fisi is definately holding up the McLarens. I'm wondering if the McLarens were prepared for this and are running very heavy - would explain Alonso 0.4's gap in pole...

Aaaand adverts.

Alonso - Lap 11 - 1:34.168

This Smirnoff ad is crap.

 

[Richard T]

nice exhaust noise from the saab

 

[Joe T]

13.5 seconds now

 

[Fire 1]

Better get the ads out of the way now incase something happens later on. Doubt it though. Another Tilke track that you can't overtake on?
