2007 European GP, Race 10/17

rpstewart · 17 Jul 2007 at 19:47

Now this is interesting, I had assumed that this weekend was the German GP however according to formula1.com it's still the European GP at the Nurburgring. I have a vague recollection that there's still a fight going on between the Nurburgring and Hockenheim owners over who owns the rights to the "German GP" name.

Friday practice : 0900 - 1030 & 1300 - 1430
Saturday practice : 1000 - 1100
Saturday Qualifying : 1300 - 1400 ITV from 1230
Sunday Race : 1300 - 1500 ITV from 1200, Highlights 2345 (ITV) & Monday 1800 (ITV4)

Currently the scores on the doors are:

If you're interested in seeing what the tracks look like I've updated my Google Earth links and flyovers. Monza is now in high-res following the last data update (must remember to remove the overlay from the .kmz), I think Shanghai is now a more up to date building site but Fuji is still low res. To play the flyovers select the flyover folder and press the play button at the bottom of the Places pane.

I dunno if you guys want to keep the Honda / Red Bull discussion going in the other thread or not but I've stuck this one up now because it's possibly the only chance I'll get between now and the race. I won't be around for Friday or Saturday times so feel free to whack them in and I'll catch up on Sunday.

Kimi looks like he's up for another win. The Renaults are looking a bit lackluster

Duke · 21 Jul 2007 at 11:39

Yep Kimi looks very strong again. BMW still doing v.well.

Stormrider · 21 Jul 2007 at 12:26

ROFL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! - awesome Mercedes Ad with Alonso, Hamilton and one more ( I won't spoil it)

Alonso v Hamilton commercial

jaykay · 21 Jul 2007 at 12:53

LOL love the adverts.

Creature · 21 Jul 2007 at 12:56

Haha, love it.

Stormrider · 21 Jul 2007 at 13:21

hehe - I don't think I could ever tire of watching that ad

Wonder how many times ITV are going to show it - that's twice so far in an hour.

so we've lost:
Button
Speed
Liuzzi
DC
Sutil
Winklehock

Wicksta · 21 Jul 2007 at 13:22

Button and DC out, not a great 1st session for the Brits.

rayer · 21 Jul 2007 at 13:25

It was on once in the news before F1 coverage started as well.
Though its been on Youtube for a few days.

Stormrider · 21 Jul 2007 at 13:36

Anyone elses live timing not looking very live? Seems to be lagging the on screen action by a few minutes for me.

Stormrider · 21 Jul 2007 at 13:44

so second cut:
Rosberg
Wurz
Fisi
Barrichello
Davidson
Sato

Wurz looks like he's matching Rosberg in qualy now.
