What a joke, He should be given at least a 10 place grid drop.

 

I agree, I yet Hamilton went from pole to the back of the grid for the carrying 0.05 secs less in fuel than he needed to even though he was on pole by 6/10ths what an absolute joke f1 is sometimes

Likewise. My Vettel, Hamilton and Grosjean Top 3 was looking good and then they all failed to finish :laugh:

 

Now down to 20th :sob:

Update on this, apparently she has lost her right eye. :down:

Off to Silverstone tomorrow morning really looking forward to it, rain forecast for Sunday should make it interesting. Thanks again to H2 for his help with the parking.

Just saw the news about de Villota.

 

Such a shame losing her right eye.

 

At least it wasn't her life.

I fear that losing her eye is the least of her worries right now. She was in surgery from the afternoon until the next morning, that suggests some pretty serious work being done. The reports now say that the tail lift of the lorry was at her head height when she hit it. Even if she was only doing 20 or 30 as reported that's a pretty serious impact.

Pleasure mate, I'm envious, you'll have the time of your life.

Very hard to predict this week. Potentially rain during qualifying and race.

Damnit! Just went to make my predictions and can't get on the site.

Button out in 1st qualifying.

 

He really is having a terrible season.

Button out in Q1.

 

There might have been yellow's before the finish line after Glock's spin. Timo did very well to keep that from hitting the wall.

with the amount of time button lost in the last section, I think it must have been the yellow flags which has caused it, as he would possibly have got a penalty if he had improved his time on that lap

Correct - he was 1.5 secs up on Rosberg after 2 sectors, so he lost about 2 secs on the final sector.

 

Schumi's having a torrid time in Q2. If the weather doesn't improve quickly, we could have an unusual grid.

 

Alonso does very well to keep the car out of the wall.

alonso and hamilton pretty much calling for a red flag over the radio

Red Flag.

 

Perez on pole if they can't get back out there, I'd assume.

All of the cars were losing a massive amount of time in the last section as it was the worst section on the track for standing water. I don't think the yellow flag made much difference as that section probably required full wets.

But he likes you. Whats happened? :lol:

 

I'd rather not talk about it. It happened a long time ago. Let's just say we were very close at one point, and then, a bit like Lidl and Aldi we had to go our seperate ways.

 

The smug dick :sob:

niki lauda saying in these conditions when the less competitive cars are near the front its because those drivers see a chance and end up having bigger balls.

I'm more of a Ross Brawn type of guy myself B)

 

Basically Christian, Lee McKenzie and myself shared a flat while at uni. It was all very polygamous, relaxed, a sharing environment. Then one night after one too many babychams, it all changed, and things were never the same.

Ah the incident in the bathroom involving carbolic soap and a shower cap? Say no more.

 

Qualifying starting again though. :thumbsup:

Looks like it's going to be dry, which will feck Perez and Button's chances.

 

Another holocaust of a grid walk from Coulthard, only saved by him blanking that nomad from JLS not once, but twice :pleasing:

 

That boy's haircut BTW :vrface:

I did enjoy Eddie's awkward exchange with Hugh Grant :lol:

 

They all have nothing on Martin Brundle, of course.
