2013 Formula One

[Sideros]

Well that sucked! At least I was watching it from the gp advantage bar. You could tell the rain was coming continuously they should have just postponed the whole thing till tomorrow! We waited and waited each time being told it was postponed 10 minutes then 20 minutes till they finally called it off!

[Mr Ree]

It doesnt appear, from looking through SKY tv's EPG, that they have rescheduled their line up to show the second part of Qualifying, but knowing sky, they wont make any changes to the EPG, of put a rolling banner across the bottom of the screen informing the customer of anything, they will just play it, or not.

Thank god for reliable sources like vipbox lol, shame I cant record it though.

EDIT: On skys website, it says that there is a 6 hour segment of F1 before the race today on channel 33

[thornz]

Sky is showing it, 12:55 live qualifying, ch32 i think

[Mr Ree]

You are correct

They have just changed their EPG guide on their website.

Telstra clear, as per usual, have not updated theirs lol

[thornz]

Cant seem to find anything on ch33 though about the 6hr build up?

[Mr Ree]

Neither

Its only mentioned on the website, but they get it wrong so often, Im not surprised. A shame though, as they were billing it as being all about onboard cameras etc, so was hoping it would have been the 3d test from a few weeks ago.

Oh well, Atleast Marks on the front row, so hes still in with a good shot of either winning or getting on the podium atleast.

Great to see Felipe out qualify Alonso, even if only be 3 thou. If he can get off to a solid start, Im convinced he can keep his current form, and more.

If the weather rolls in like last night, its going to be an absolutely bonkers first race, but if they try and delay the start, I can see it only have an hour before they would have to cancel dude to low light so fingers crossed that doesnt happen.

My ideal podium...Webber...Felipe...Raikonnen

There is an hour and a half build up to the race on sky uk so looking forward to that

[Mr Revhead]

Rai, ham and pic for my fantasy podium

Alonso didn't seem happy Massa beat him

[Mr Ree]

*sits looking at his TAB receipt paying 10 to 1 for the win for Raikonnen*

[2jayzgte]

Awesome start to the season.

Raikkonen how can anybody not love that guy.

Reith gotta love the go fast guys early on running door to door I get a kick out of that watching Raikkonen Hamilton Alonso Vettel going nuts early and no incidents I really love that alot.

[Mr Ree]

Yeah for sure, there was some great racing last night...

Lewis was very lucky though, when he locked up his front right going into turn 3, that Alonso unwound his steering wheel to make room, as if he didnt, there would have very likely been two cars taken out on the spot.

It felt good cashing in the winning ticket at the TAB at lunchtime, Ill tell you that much for free

Only 4 days until free practice in Malaysia

I found that really funny that,those 2 going at it Hamilton having no grip was at the end of his tyres and still went deep into the braking zone but the canny old fox Alonso knew Hamilton wasn't going to give it up easy so just bidded his time and set him up through the next 2 corners for the pass.

Great racing all the same though.

I had to laugh though cause he was alot easier when Raikkonen steamed passed him at pretty much the same point later on.

Also have to laugh when Hamilton's engineer,you gotta push now and Lewis replies with a hesitant voice yeah I don't think I can go any quicker you just gotta laugh at some of the dialogue that goes on over the race radio.

[Mr Ree]

I wish we got 100% of the team radio feeds, rather than whatever random tidbits, FOM decide to broadcast 5 minutes after the event...

There is going to be a world of difference between how the tyres behaved in Melbourne, and how they will in KL this weekend so heres hoping for another stunning race. (and a few more dollars won;))

Its not just the difference of the track surface, but the extreme difference in temperature, that is going to make it like the first race of the season all over again. I just wonder when the monsoon will choose to arrive lol

Lets see if RBR can make their options last more than 8 laps this time...

[2jayzgte]

Found this rather interesting.

OOOPS...lol...lol..

[Scottie]

That all seems like too much of a coincidence to me. The software thing.
I watched the sky coverage today and in the post race show Martin Brundle made mention of this, it seemed like be didn't believe what he was saying also.

Was very enjoyable going to the race. The rain wasn't heavy at all on Saturday, just enough to keep the track wet.

It was funny listening to bogan aussies booing Vettel on the podium.

[Mr Revhead]

I doubt very much McLaren purposely targeted Webbers ECU.

[Scottie]

lol yer. Was meaning Webber messed the start himself. And his kers failed every 2nd race last year. Who knows
