Indian Grand Prix 2013, New Delhi - Race 16/19

didn't know about that. I guess we agree then :)

PS I don't blame Vettel or RBR they are just doing their job too well. I blame the governing bodies which are not addressing the issue of competitive grid

I blame the competitiors. 10 other teams, 21 other cars, 21 other drivers, thousands of other staff, and nobody can beat them. They need to up their game.

He got the name skyboy from me when sky said they was getting F1 because

Skeeter=guys sky's got F1 do you think I should sign up?
Skeeter= I don't think I will be getting sky now..will stick to the BBC.

Skeeter= guys just got told by sky I can get a good deal for sky F1..what you think?
Skeeter=I'm getting sky...no I'm not..Yes Iam

and so and so on for bloody weeks..That's why! :D

Really?

I Ummed and Ahhhed about getting Sky TV for months before they announced anything related to F1. I had it at my parents and missed it, but couldn't justify the cost.

I placed my online order for Sky TV the day they announced how F1 would be packaged (i.e in HD, not Sports). I didn't get any deals or anything? I just added it to my phone and broadband contract online.

But hey, you will believe what you want and make up anything to fill this forum with endless posts of useless drivel week after week.

I apologise for posting once in a season that I haven't watched much this year due to not enjoying the racing. I forgot these threads seem to be owned by the same few people and any input that doesn't suit the agenda is frowned upon.

For the record I don't care who wins I just haven't enjoyed the racing this year, for some reason this means I'm not liking a german winning. I couldn't care less, I just haven't found the battles race by race that exciting this year compared to other recent years.

Again I apologise for having my own opinion. How dare I come into a motor racing thread and say my enjoyment has diminished this season to the point of only reading these threads and not watching the last 3 races. How dare I do this once this year.

Shame on me :(
 
Perez voices fears of 'tyres exploding' http://www.espn.co.uk/india/motorsport/story/131663.html

seriously for a guy who has under-delivered so much he complains a lot

Is he wrong about the tyres though?

"The soft is not really lasting not even a lap," Perez said. "If you see people doing a long stint on the option you will see lock-ups and probably tyres exploding so I think they went quite aggressive with the option tyre for this weekend."

Doesn't sound as though he's saying anything out of sight. You push and overwork the tyre, you'll kill it.

Perez said it is up to the teams to make sure they don't push the tyres beyond the limit.

Also sounds rather sensible.

Time was, you could back off for a few laps to get your tyre temperature back under control and have another go. You can't do that now, as soon as you've taken the tyres slightly over then that's it, they're ****ed.

I was about to say "welcome to modern F1 gang!!!" in a faux happy-cheery tone, but since we're now supposed to rave about this era of the alleged pinnacle of motorsport I'll keep my unpopular and contrary opinion about the God-awful state of this sport to myself OH WAIT....:o:D:p

You'd think the FIA would have realised this tyre rule is getting out of hand by now.

Indycar made the mistake of specifying higher tyre degradation at Texas, which produced an average-to-mediocre race and caused speeds to drop to Nascar levels at the end of a stint. They quickly acknowledged it was a horrible idea and told Bridgestone\Firestone to stick to their more durable compounds. Though strategy is a different issue there anyway, thanks to refuelling (I can't see anyone inventing a tank that lasts for a 500 mile oval event).

Well, here's to Vettel's fourth consecutive championship. Who's going to finish second? :p
 
Whole situation is explained when Hembery says" we are aiming for a 2 stop here" Since when did ******* Pirelli decide on how races should be run?
 
Oh look more moaning, not sure why i came in here. Yay, you dont enjoy it. Fair enough, but get the **** out and leave the rest of us to it. I cba to read pages of moaning, which is why I've posted so little in the threads recently. Looking forward to seeing the rbr party and T-shiirts on sundays.
