[Closed] F1- Its time!

cuppa. lemon drizzle cake. crying baby.

yup.

I'd forgotten, ta.

Ah ad break..

Lots of slow mo's of sponsor Randstad.

Lots of Webber whining down here in Oz.

Ooh yes, surprise winner I reckon.

Yep, dog walked early in the rain (she wasn't happy) and now an iced latte with a streaky bacon and baby plum tomato wrap sat on sofa ready.....

I think this may be an interesting start, mass pile up in first corner with Webber cruising around the outside to take the lead?

I'm ready and excited!

Nope - that implies Webber will have a good start, which as we've seen on numerous occasions, is a ludicrous scenario.

First cuppa down, need to make a strategic pitstop soon for some brekkie before the race starts....

Hoping for some good action today.....

Really? [James Hunt]Im sat on the sofa inbetween two blonde birds and a bottle of Champagne [/James Hunt]

Sat here with my boy. I give it 15 minutes before we have to switch to Ben and Holly.

My Nearly 2 year old has sat patiently with me through most of the build up, as soon as the lights go out he's off... to see his mum.

Why do I have a complete irrational hate of all things Ferrari....?

Great racing

What's with the BBC coverage?

14hrs of boring chat about tyres. You could fit that in in 11 seconds flat. Waste of money that. Oh and boring strategies...

Just race.

Did DC just saw Alonso's got two birds?

yep excellent racing from the Ferrari Boys, Kimi looking aggressive, shame Lewis couldn't have done something with that pole..

*IF* kimster is on one less stop he's in the box seat

Kimi kimi showing how to drive the wheels off his car....the right way

Turned over already to watch BSB rerun of Brands Hatch.

Follow the leader F1 isn't my cup of tea but I really would like to see what all the fuss is about and " give it a try" every now and then.

I do love a wet F1 race though, not for crashes, just to see the skilful rise to the top. Ave to say, the technology and skill of F1 is pretty amazing.

The leads swapping constantly today though. What next? A wendyball comment?

[*]Listening on the radio, thank god James Allen isn't' commentating.

Dull

Funny vettel didn't have a problem ignoring the teams radio calls then! 😆

How many times is Coulthard going to say "strategically using his tools"?

Alonso is driving rather well isn't he...

Yep. He will win by 20secs+ at the end with a really strong engine.

still can't stand him or his silly red car though... 😉

Poor Webber. Was there any discussion of what happened to his rear wheel? I'm leaning towards the conspiracy side of the fence!

Please don't let Vettel win.

Tyres that last 4 laps at best and drs systems impossible to defend against, along with team orders have turned me off already this season
Shame as last year was really good and I got properly into it for first time in years

Well, the final lap was worth the wait...

Interesting comments from kimi (via the commentator): we just drive our own lap times and if we end up racing someone we end up racing someone. There's undoubtedly more action in modern f1, but its not the purest form of racing it should be :-/

Wow and phew

great result, enjoyed that. Last lap was amazing!

As a technical exercise F1 is amazing, as far as racing goes it is dull.

Sometimes it works out though - last few laps partially made up for it

Who is the young lady that keeps appearing? Alonsos squeeze?

Mrs alonso gets my vote 🙂

great stuff.

But 3 good laps out of 60? Poor return for your investment.

If Alonso keeps winning this season will be longer, that anthem doesn't half go on a bit...

Why post? If the topic has NO interest to you?

IF there was Chelsea v Man U Cup final topic I wouldnt post dull stuff.

But 3 good laps out of 60? Poor return for your investment.

Made it easy to get some extra kip though 😆

😆 that's very true.
