That was a medical car

Why were two Merc safety cars following Hamilton during the parade lap? For the cameras?

i tohught the honda was an integra (new one) that was not being released here, or something like that.

For some reason it looks a little ST220 like in that picture

I love the latest shape CLK AMG models, really do look smart. A black 55AMG flew past me about a year ago and the noise it made was just great.

I loved the sound of the SC today, they are pretty quick too

precisely, and its the only merc ive ever seen that i like the look of shock horror.

I do love the CLK DTM AMG's even better.

I thought they would have had a couple for the F1 this year with it being a faster car. Only 100 made though, so I guess thats the drawn back.

I'm fairly sure it was the saloon version of the civic that I don't think we're getting here in the UK.

Yeah i think so too. At first i thought it was the new Teg, but i think the boot was different...

i love that merc, i think a few more laps in canada and it would have qualified as a finisher.

Although 100 CLK DTM Cabriolets were made so they could use one of those, and a couple of F1 drivers own one

Yeah the Honda was a 07 Civic Si. I drove an 06 one and it's a very nice little car.... k20z engine, 6 speed LSD....pretty fun.

Morba · 10 Jun 2007 at 22:23

thats it, a civic, so much nicer looking than the version we have.

He's on the ragged edge (as I assumed).

They should have got the Type R-R out. 260BHP... though the distinct lack of roofscoop immediately showed it wasn't the RR. That would get the medics there in quick time.
