Webber is looking decidedly average today.

Just announced that 111'000 people are at the track today - total of 298'000 over the whole weekend.

Hammy's car is stuffed.. lol

Flibster · 27 Mar 2011 at 07:55

Oh dear, Hamilton having an aero issue with the splitter dragging on the ground.

Something to check at the next tyre stop.

[edit]

However, sparks down the straight - really cool and reminds me of many years ago.

I love Pirelli

Is dc trying to get hammy disqualified to get webber a podium??

Ceryndrion · 27 Mar 2011 at 08:00

I have to say, the way that things have worked out with the pirelli's, is very reminiscent of nascar, where it doesn't overly matter where you are on the track until the last round of pit stops, and then all hell breaks loose..

Edit: Kinda hope that hammy does drop back, if only cuz it would be good for my fantasy f1 team.

I could do a better job!

Flibster · 27 Mar 2011 at 08:02

The pitstops are all looking pretty sharp this year.

At mincing? Or do you just want to get Rosberg out of his overalls?

Valentino · 27 Mar 2011 at 08:03

I bet Kubica is kicking himself seeing how well Petrov is doing.

Kept goin on about body parts being worn and people being dqed.

Martin getting poetic there

'The letterbox is open but there's no invitation to pass in there'. He's actually much better than I expected at this lead commentator lark.

Valentino · 27 Mar 2011 at 08:04

All cars get scrutinised, regardless of what DC says.

These new graphics are pretty cool!

He's been lead commentator for years now!

utajoker · 27 Mar 2011 at 08:05

That new graphic is good.

Ceryndrion · 27 Mar 2011 at 08:05

best thing so far about having brundle as lead commentator, is that he's not excitable as his forerunners.

utajoker · 27 Mar 2011 at 08:07

How can webber be so slow in that car.
