Remember, the throttles on those things have 3/8th of $&#$% all between a huge jump in revs! I'm surprised he held it on that as long as he did.

Yeah but he didn't lift at all :lol:

his thoughts: "I can catch it, I can catch it, I can...." BANG

The $50 figure for sport channel was just a number I grabbed out of the air. I think my telstra clear tv component is about $60 a month, but around $30 of that is for the normal cable channels, so I guess sport costs $30ish.

Either way, its great value for money, especially if you like all forms of motorsport. I would pay it even if only the F1 was screened though

Charlie Whiting is going to take a look at the blown diffuser/hot blowing/cold blowing, drama overnight and will make an announcement before FP3 on what, if any, changes will be made.

And I concur, GP3 race 1 is on between FP3 and quali on early sunday morn. Gooooooo Mitch

Sucks balls they are showing netball instead of live qualifying.

They better not do the same for the race!

I couldnt agree more mate, it sickens me that F1 ALWAYS takes a back seat to any other sport that happens to be on, regardless of what it is. Even tetraplegic snail racing would take precedence I imagine...

Oh well just as well I have My sky and I'll get up first thing to watch delayed Quali.

What do you no RBR on the front row...hahahahaha..for a change..

by **Mr Ree** » Sun Jul 10, 2011 11:15 pm

But with the criminal element in first place for a change.

If a RBR car has to win tonight, I really really hope its Mark. Maybe Seb will do the same as last year and go off at the second corner trying to squeeze the convict.

Its looking like its going to be a dry race so we will start to get a clearer picture of the 10% throttle debate and what effect its having on each team over a race distance.

Go Schu!

So, reckon Webber will still be at RBR next year? :lol:

Lets hope not, be great to see someone there who can actually take the fight to Seb, and also someone who can actually get off the line properly!

I fell asleep during the race last night, how did Alonso manage to get into the lead? Woke up with about 2 laps to go and was sirprised to say the least.

Gone....See Ya mind you the writings been on the wall for Webber for years..

Bring back Kimi Raikkonen put him in the sister RBR car he'll give Vettel all he can handle.

by **Mr Revhead** » Mon Jul 11, 2011 12:04 pm

That would be a good line up.
But I doubt very much Kimi will race in F1 again

Alonso was catching Vet pretty good, then they both pitted. Vettel had issues with rear right and Alonso passed him there and then just walked away. Think the gap was almost to 20 seconds between him before Alonso slowed down to cruise to his win.

by **2jayzgte** » Mon Jul 11, 2011 8:24 pm

I think Alonso won the race during between laps 28-35 when he re over took Hamilton he reeled fastest lap after fastest lap then cruised to the finish.I think Alonso and Ferrari handled the changeable conditions the best also.

Poor Massa he is treated like the red headed step child as for now its Team Alonso.

Can you imagine if Massa and Barrichello ended up in t a team together?
"after you"

15k rpm
8 speed box compulsory
driver required to be able to start the engine on his own
100% electric mode in pit lane. No running engines in pit lane!

by **1I1** » Fri Jul 22, 2011 5:09 pm

I like the idea of drivers not having to rely on their crew starting the car

by **Mr Ree** » Fri Jul 22, 2011 5:39 pm

Yes, definitely something that should have been incorporated years ago.

A started motor mounted nice and low will almost be like ballast anyway

Looking like a wet weekend so expect a nail biter.

Go Schuey!

by **Mr Revhead** » Fri Jul 22, 2011 5:40 pm

I doubt they will have starter motors.
They will use the KERS or ERS
