JetSet Posted May 28, 2012 Posted May 28, 2012 I quite like ant davidson too. He was good when je was doing the alternative commentary on bbc also Yes, his analysis is spot on, he has a great eye for the very fine details too . Also, he was a lot better driver than he was given credit for. Pete
geoff-r Posted May 28, 2012 Posted May 28, 2012 Such a boring race yesterday, to think I could have gone out on the bike instead! Well done to Webber though. Poor performance from McLaren again, Schumi let down by Merc again, I don't know why but I really wanted to see him get up on the podium, shame about the penalty but that's what you get for ramming other drivers. Who's next to win? I think Button needs it more than anyone.
JetSet Posted May 28, 2012 Posted May 28, 2012 The accident in the GP2 race just shows to me how unsuitable this circuit is for modern open wheel racing. You don't really see the most frightening bit till around 2.40 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xCte8-m-Xqg&feature=related If it wasn't for the fact that this is more of a social meet for the hugely wealthy it would have been scrapped years ago. Pete
M13KYF Posted May 28, 2012 Posted May 28, 2012 always been boring Monaco. One of the worst all season for racing.
DannyBoy Posted May 28, 2012 Posted May 28, 2012 Missed it yesterday and just watched the highlights on iPlayer, pretty glad i didn't waste my sunday afternoon really DB
CrumbMC Posted May 28, 2012 Posted May 28, 2012 As i linked on the previous page. GT racing is so much better to watch. Just hasn't had the bernie effect. I find it funny how peopole would rather watch 2 ours of boring formula one than an action packed GT race that is so much more down to earth and exciting If you like racing you should check it out the racing is full on from start to finish and the cars are beasty versions of the GT / supercars we all know and love on this forum. no GT-Rs this year though, but the Mclarens and SLS' make up for that
Beavis Posted June 8, 2012 Posted June 8, 2012 Hamilton fastest in both practice sessions in Canada http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/formula1/18373597
CrumbMC Posted June 8, 2012 Posted June 8, 2012 Yeah Mclaren look fast but i wont be surprised if they throw it away with a stupid mistake again.
geoff-r Posted June 8, 2012 Posted June 8, 2012 Ferraris look strong to be fair, be interesting to see what quali is like. I really want to see Schumi on the podium.
DoogyRev Posted June 10, 2012 Posted June 10, 2012 Well done Lewis Would not have guessed at Grosjean & Perez finishing 2nd &3rd
Ebized Posted June 10, 2012 Posted June 10, 2012 Great race by Lewis and Mclaren Must be the first Canadian GP without a safety car period, although Schui must be wondering when he will finish a race.
marzman Posted June 10, 2012 Posted June 10, 2012 Yeah Boi!!!! That was a GREAT race...!!!! Absolutely brilliant, so happy for Lewis... long over due.
Beavis Posted June 11, 2012 Posted June 11, 2012 Yeah Boi!!!! That was a GREAT race...!!!! Absolutely brilliant, so happy for Lewis... long over due. +1 Great drive, great racer. Storming drive from Perez as well from 15th on the grid!
Beavis Posted June 24, 2012 Posted June 24, 2012 What a race of high drama! Think the stewards will be having a late one after this Felt very sorry for Lewis who once again drove a stormer in a slower car until Mclaren once again ****ed up his pit stop and then was punted off the road by the bellend that is Pastor Maldonado What a w@nker and ****ing useless when it comes to wheel to wheel racing FFS he would have easily passed Hamilton before the end if he had been patient and bided his time, Hamiltons tyres were absolutely shot!
Daryl Posted June 24, 2012 Posted June 24, 2012 What a fantastic race! Its a shame that Vettel and Hamilton didnt get to finish. Mesmerising race by everyone,great to see a good race at Valencia finally.
HaydnH Posted June 24, 2012 Posted June 24, 2012 About 10 seconds before Lewis went out I said he should just let him go, no point risking 4th when someone in a much faster car is getting too close for comfort, also by having to drive that defensive you're both slowing each other down and probably putting yourself in line for another fight for 5th. Maldonado's fault imho, but something Lewis should have avoided anyway.
Ebized Posted June 24, 2012 Posted June 24, 2012 Hmmmmmm..... wonder how many grid places Pastor will go back in the next race........if not a race ban altogether. His impatience is reminding me of Lewis last year...... Good stuff at the end though - well done Fernando and a bit sad for Seb.
M13KYF Posted June 24, 2012 Posted June 24, 2012 far better race than I was expecting for such a boring track. Better than Monaco
CrumbMC Posted June 24, 2012 Posted June 24, 2012 I havent seen thee race as i'm on holiday but I have been saying since he joined f1,pastor is a ****er. I was so pi**ed off when he got that race win.he doesn't deserve it.he can't race. Not only that but he's an arrogant grumpy know-all. But thats what happens when drivers are chosen because of sponsorship rather than skill.
JetSet Posted June 24, 2012 Posted June 24, 2012 Good race, Lewis should have gone for a certain 4th and let Pastor go but that's racing. Maldano takes a 20 second penalty moving Senna up to 10th, no penalty for Schumacher. Pete
Beavis Posted June 24, 2012 Posted June 24, 2012 Hmmmmmm..... wonder how many grid places Pastor will go back in the next race........if not a race ban altogether. Should get a 5 place drop Colin, well he had better anyway. Thats twice the stupid idiot has crashed in the closing stages this year. What with antics last year with Lewis at Spa and Perez in Monaco he wants a proper slapping down imho. Why he did not have the patience to wait god knows, I would have passed him in my Rover 200 with the level of grip he had! Well may be not
Ebized Posted June 24, 2012 Posted June 24, 2012 Maldano takes a 20 second penalty Pete Far too light a penalty - that's no more than a slap over the wrist - he was off track, Lewis was clearly in front and was barged into putting him out of the race and that cannot be right
Beavis Posted June 24, 2012 Posted June 24, 2012 Maldano takes a 20 second penalty Pete Far too light a penalty - that's no more than a slap over the wrist - he was off track, Lewis was clearly in front and was barged into putting him out of the race and that cannot be right +1 But seemingly true http://www.planetf1.com/driver/18227/78 ... pean-point He obviously drives whilst on crack at the same time! "He (Hamilton) tried a very aggressive movement on me," said the Venezuelan.
HaydnH Posted June 24, 2012 Posted June 24, 2012 Has anyone seen anything about Alonso not taking his car back to the pits? I hope they at least check he had enough fuel to get there and give a sample or it will be another case of 1 rule for Fezza and a different rule for the rest.
