definitely, i guess the pressure is off, time for him to just enjoy racing

Yep.

 

[Psycho Ned]

Funny not familiar with the Indian national anthem at all! Suppose its cos they never win anything at the Olympics/F1 and don't have a decent football/rugby team so never heard it

Was anyone else hoping all those people would launch into a full on version of Jai Ho when the anthem was playing just then?

Feels a bit odd starting the race at half past the hour, is this the only race that happens?

It's on the hour local time, India is one of the few places with a time zone that's not offset in whole hours. They're 5.5 hours ahead of us now.

Vettle to retire on the second lap by hitting a dog

 

[knip]

Jeez, how boring was that stat. The finger has led the last 145 laps in F1.

 

[utajoker]

i think if vettel is not passed withing 2 laps, he will be away and win bar failure.

Use the force Mike

Vettle to retire on the second lap by hitting a dog

 

[Flibster]

Not many going with the hard tyre.

 

[knip]

Couldn't some of the back markers agree to go slow on the formation lap, thus leading the pole sitter to be sat there for ages, and his car overheat.

 

[Flibster]

Yup. Only Grosjean, Schumacher, Ricciardo and Kobayashi going with the hard tyre.

 

[utajoker]

god damn that was close racing.

button, hamilton, alonso :O

 

[Flibster]

Where the hell did that come from?

 

[Psycho Ned]

Great racing Alonso and the mclarens!

 

[~Mike~]
