Bit steep!

lol, just a little bit steep! Not all that surprising though.

There was a version of this available last year, just as expensive. They've just dropped the basic free one.

Does anyone have an mp3 of the BBC F1 theme? I want it as my ringtone.

It's part of The Chain by Fleetwood Mac from the Rumours LP. Check your local record store or favourite online music seller.

Uses Java IIRC which limits the platforms it'll run on.

This comment tickled me from the weekend:

"Every driver on the grid has scored points in F1, except for the three French guys"

Why does everyone in F1 seem to start every reply with "For sure,..." :confused:

Irish_Tom · 19 Mar 2012 at 20:31

I've only noticed it with Vettel — he also says "I/he did a mistake" a lot.

I know English is a second language but this bugs me.

I dunno, but its a drinking game waiting to happen

MS started that one.

Who are all inexperienced or rookies, and F1 went a while without a French driver when Alesi lost his seat at the end of 2001.

Olivier Panis might disagree with you....

Yes, I'd almost forgotten the other Frenchman with a sole victory. A shame he had that 1997 crash, was set for good things.

Good news for all you people that dislike Adam Parr.

He's quit.

Seems awfully sudden, hopefully it won't ruin the good progress Williams are making.

therealnerd2 · 26 Mar 2012 at 08:21

Crikey. Someone's done something...

Duke · 26 Mar 2012 at 08:29

Seems an odd time to do it, after the dire season they had last year? Must be something going on..

TaKeN · 26 Mar 2012 at 08:33

Seems very strange!
