Great job by Williams.

Duke · 28 Jul 2012 at 14:05

Perfect by Hamilton. Hope Grosjean can keep his nose clean tomorrow and pick up a podium.

Brundle said it cost Ferrari several hundred thousand to let him drive around. Wouldn't Sky have paid Ferrari for the privilege?

Hard to know, it got them some good TV coverage etc.

Watching the F1 on a projector this weekend

Duke · 29 Jul 2012 at 14:53

Good job by Hamilton, shame Button got sent out in traffic. Lotus quick as expected.

Duke · 29 Jul 2012 at 14:57

Who on earth is this?

What do people think of this new podium/interview thingy?

Its a bit American and showy, probably work better if they actually had a decent interviewer for once.

Keep digging that hole.

Duke · 29 Jul 2012 at 20:37

Tell it was a dull race if we're only talking about MS and how he didn't line the car up right.

Duke · 29 Jul 2012 at 21:49

Hopefully Grosjean has leant to keep his nose clean. He is a nice chap off track and deserves to do well. I wonder if Ferrari will be eyeing him up over Perez.. /off to the silly season thread

Duke · 30 Jul 2012 at 09:53

It was all about track position as the tyres were holding up fine, he would have been 4th at least. Red Bull did the same for Webber. Kimi came off best.

He won the first race, take away those first 25 points and for the other 10 races he's average 5.1 points per race.

Why take away the win lol? Although it only takes it up to 6.9, which is still not enough, you can't fiddle the stats to suit you.

I like it, that is my new name for him.

Hehe

I think they need the two extremes of the tyres here, super soft and hard. So the speed difference between two cars on different compounds is higher.

that sounds serious.

so you suspect hes a robot with electronic aids and he was showing signs of that this weekend?

is it anything like the human epidemic of aids?

or could MS be some kind of implant some drivers are using to gain an unfair advantage?

Whats that in English?
