Decent race.

 

Pity about di Resta getting the puncture. :down:

 

Webber was relentless at the end.

 

As for Maldonado.....he needs to watch the likes of Webber and Alonso on how to overtake. He's a liability.

 

Also hearing Spa has signed until 2015. Good news. :thumbsup:

Only 15 points in the predictor and down 2 places to 9th.

 

I'm really not very good. :lol:

Just the 35 points for me, still top though :smuggy:

I'm scared to check as I didn't predict as I couldn't get on the site before qualifying.

 

I predict a disaster.

Yup in Luffield A stand, and correct it is a Nikon D40 with a Sigma zoom lens. Parking was spot on, as you said no probs getting in or out will book again for next year.

Webber will have a 5 place grid penalty after a gearbox change. Grosjean and Rosberg to get penalties as well, I assume for the same reason.

 

Sky Sports F1 is free this weekend on Virgin Media, FYI. No need to wait until 5 for the BBC highlights for me :thumbsup:

Red Bull under investigation for illegal engine mapping.

 

They may have to start at the back.

That could hand the race to Alonso, the way he's performing - could even give Ferrari a great chance of a 1-2.

 

EDIT - Actually, maybe not - I thought Massa was much higher on the grid :lol:

Was I seeing things, or was there a card display in the stand spelling 111 years?!

I noticed that as well, its good to see the Germans know :jjyay:

 

The race wasn't great but glad to see Alonso win again. Looks like my call of him to win the championship could be on the cash....shame I didn't put a bet on it :sob:

Vettel has had a 20 second penalty.

 

He's dropped to 5th.

That's harsh, but it gives Raikkonen another podium.

I think its harsh too.

 

I'm sure it'll have made my predictions even worse. :lol:

Absolutely shocking decision..mac got dropped to back of grid for carrying 0.005 fuel too little earlier in season... RBR run a traction control system and also blow diffuser .. Carry on chaps.

McLaren's looking sweet for race day tomorrow - Red Bull and Ferrari not looking all that great.

Forgot to change my predictions again :vrface:

 

These great ideas I keep having of picking on Saturday mornings are not working for me.

 

Should be an interesting race tomorrow, specially if the storms that are forecast turn up.

What you seen was a card display that looked like it said "111 years", I saw it too(I thought the same as you I think), but if you noticed the same stand a very short time later it said "Micheal Schumacher".

 

It really does look like "111 Years" though.

 

I laughed and pointed it out to the girlfriend.

But as far as i'm concerned it DID say 111 YEARS lol

How wrong does that sound?

 

Very wrong. :thumbsup:

 

I think Kimi will win today. Long overdue a win.

 

The GP2 race is on at the moment and its glorious sunshine. Doubt there'll be showers today.

I'd like to see Kimi win too, but I think Hamilton will take it today, unless his luck is still out, the guy has nae luck at all. I think Hamilton needs to win to get back into the championship race.

He does need to win but I think McLarens usual pitlane mishap will go against him again.

I'm hoping they can get a couple of 2.1 sec pitstops for him

A stuck wheel nut will cost him the win imo.

More worried about how Hamilton starts than anything else. Not been great this year. Grosjean is a good starter.

 

Watch out for Button this McLaren with the upgrades looks good. Feel JB can get a podium.

It isn't illegal engine mapping though, it's the engine cutting power from 4 cylinders as a fuel saving measure. All the cars do it.

If Raikkonen's tyres hold up, this race is his to lose I reckon.

Great result for Hamilton, even with a slightly elongated pit stop.

looks like my best scoring week in the predictor.

Yeah but the rest of the cars don't sound like that when they do it.
