United States Grand Prix 2012, Austin - Race 19/20

its an alarm trigged when someone comes in so the whole pit knows a car is coming in, health and safety thing you assume, its stupid loud, and just stupid. What professional in F1, be it a camera man or engineer, whoever else, doesn't know to check for moving cars.
 
Pretty sure they have them at every track but just no where near as loud. It is like a fire alarm.
 
No matter what I do I can't get silverlight to work on my work laptop running w7 enterprise.

Done numerous installs and uninstalls, even manually deleting registries, no luck. Just constantly asks to install/update silverlight when trying to watch a channel.

Any ideas?
 
So the whole argument about how the electric pitlane was dangerous because nobody would know a car was coming is complete BS then... :rolleyes:

Not really..yes people will know it's coming in to the pit but won't hear it after the siren.
Maybe they will attach a siren to all leci cars along with complet engine sounds :D
 
The whole argument is a BS argument. I'd rather they were just honest about it all and just said they weren't doing electric only pitlanes because its jolly complicated and they have enough on their plate with the 2014 engine rules already. This whole smoke and mirrors behind 'safety' concerns is just a bit pathetic.

Also, branding at work, I had no idea Verizon was a Vodafone company until just now.
 
Hamilton is crazy good, everyone else is going slowly eeking round and even after 5-6 laps at least Webber was only just getting into the 43's, Vettel 44's, most of them much slower.

Hamilton did one slow lap a 49, then a 44, then a 42. Button did something like a 53 then a 48 or something.

Hamilton I think finds the limit of a car before anyone else, saying that ALonso is doing the same, both of them have gone out and very very quickly found real speed while a lot of other drivers struggle to find grid, work out how far to hit corners. Other drivers take a lot lot longer to find the sweet spots and are far more timid.

That's why I love watching Hamilton and Alonso, just pure great drivers who have the car on the edge straight away.

Damn, Hamilton and Alonso just look so so much more capable than the rest in these kinds of conditions.

I said last race its when the conditions are bad or the car ain't great you see the difference between a great/good driver, not cruising out front.
