Awesome the bit in the bar when he fell at STIG's feet was funny assss..

I hope he goes well this year.

Only 48 hours to wait until FP1.....

Im chomping at the bit, I tell ya.

There are SO MANY unknowns, so I cant wait to watch it all come out in quali

Quarter of the grid are WDC's so its going to be pretty damn hard for the others to get a look in, but whowever wins it, it will be one of the most deserved championships ever

GO SCHUEY

Yea man.

I ready hope Schuey wins and spends the whole press conference shitting on Alonso for having ridiculous facial hair and saying that none of the girls like him. Then announcing his retirement claiming "his work is done".

Now that would be F1

I want Kimi to win. And dead pan to the camera "yes, I am bored, where's the gravel?"

by **Mr Ree** » Thu Mar 15, 2012 9:36 am

He has already found the gravel a few times in testing, so not all is lost

I imagine his only concern at this early stage is to finish ahead of Grosjean for the first few races, and then go from there.

by **Mr Ree** » Fri Mar 16, 2012 9:23 am

Righto then 5 hours until they hit the track

Provided we get the right commentary feed (EG skys team) Im looking foward to all the talk about the Mercedes passive front wing W duct and rear wing F duct, not to mention seeing the new versions of each top teams exhaust outlets/ducting etc.

RBR copied Saubers outlet position/shrouding, but they didnt have quite as much success running their Melbourne spec bodywork at the final test so even though they said they wouldnt go back to the previous set up, its possible they might as atleast the former was producing reliable data to work with.

So many unknowns....

by **Mr Revhead** » Fri Mar 16, 2012 5:50 pm

Well, wouldn't it be interesting if P1 was a true indication of pace.

Am pissed off F1 no longer have a free app. Instead it's $40 :evil:

by **Mr Ree** » Fri Mar 16, 2012 9:17 pm

Or FP2? hehe

A huge shame the rain came down before both practice sessions, but its certainly going to give every team a HUGE workload to do in the final 1 hour FP tomorrow, to try and work out tyre deg, and set up for the race, not to mention a simulated quali run. I cant wait to see how many ill prepared cars hit the track in quali

I am gutted that sky tv has chosen to shaft the paying customer yet again by supplying us the bbc commentary feed, instead of giving us the direct feed from sky uks new F1 dedicated channel. Now instead of having all the familiar, not to mention, knowledgable presenters, we have to put up with the dregs that were left behind at the bbc after sky bought out all the talent.

I have been live streaming the uk feed on my laptop and its in another leauge compared to sky nz's feed. For them to not utilise this amazing new channel is a major drop of the ball...again.

Time for a petition me thinks

P.S Go Schuey

Usually has most of the F1 on it, but sometimes Bernie get's the race feed terminated before the end of the race so you have to switch feeds, and you may end up with a foreign language channel :lol:

Depending on the stream and/or browser you may need to install a player.

This is one of my favourites as it also shows other features apart from just the track action.

Jesus, Jaime is a rambling muppet of a commentator. Why did sky do this to me! I can't wait for the sky only races, I presume/hope they will have Brundle et al.

by **Mr Revhead** » Sat Mar 17, 2012 4:16 pm

I have no idea who the commentators are I'm listening too. But they are not bad at all.

by **Mr Revhead** » Sat Mar 17, 2012 8:08 pm

Go the McAttack!! :twisted:

by **loudstealthGT-Four** » Sat Mar 17, 2012 8:15 pm

Go Lewis

by **GTTpower** » Sat Mar 17, 2012 8:21 pm

Yeah no Brundle takes away some of the magic.
Really surprised by Sauber, did well to make it to Q3. Haha at Ferrari, the team I love to hate.
