Hello??? Anyone else there?

This grid walk is a good laugh today.

Webber having a go at Brundle
Brudle trying to interview Roberto Carlos - who doesn't speak english..and saying that he'd rather interview his girlfriend - and I don't blame him there.
Brundle having a go at Bernie.

I understand that it is F1 testing at SIlverstone on Tues, Weds and Thurs this week. I think Im probably going to go along on one of the days. Anyone have any ideas/rumours about which teams may be up there?

Many thanks

Best bet is to phone Silverstone. They should be able to tell you who's booked in.

yup someone else here

Good good - was starting to think I was all on my ownsome here.

 

[Flibster]

...and the parade lap is away.

 

[Flibster]

No he doesn't. If he has a crappy race he'll never have the 70% of the leaders points and will be free to leave BAR *and go to Williams*

 

[Flibster]

and the race is go!
Raikkonen gets away clean and all through the 1st chicaine clean.

 

[Flibster]

[Flibster]

Fisichella's in the wall.

How the hell did he get there - it looked like the car didn't turn at all..

 

[Flibster]

Broken steering is a possibility...I want to see the in car footage again - the wheels were straight on and the he should have been turning so it wasn't understeer...

 

[Flibster]

Oh I love that Grolsch ad with the Grim Reaper..always makes me laugh.

Oooh...a ****** ikkle Kimi...Could be good for the next race if he can harness that.

Thats a £40k steering wheel that won't be used again if it's been hurled across the garage.

Looking like Hydraulic/Electronic/Gearbox side then.
