Lemons is far better racing and you know it. 24 hours of racing and proper overtaking, apart from the French what's not to like about it :D

LULZ. They don't have Hamilton :D

Just not my cup of tea. I appreciate it, just as I do rally or moto gp, but it leaves me cold. I'd like to go, but for the spectacle and sitting out in the middle of nowhere eating & drinking rather than the racing.

If were listing favourite flips, mine has to be the Minardi boys doing what they do best...

If I remember rightly that's how he crossed the line to finish the race.

[yt]QpRYZbm86tA[/yt] Skip to 0:40 and 1:50. Andretti, total wanker.

Cheers man, if patrese had just nicked the bridge he'd have got it over completely.

Good choice on the Minardi too, and yes he did take the flag like that.

It was but it's not their fault.

The engine in the front car is in the process of exploding, he suddenly slowed, causing the crash.

Ferrari statement: "Together with Philip Morris International we have decided to modify the livery of our cars starting with the Barcelona Grand Prix.

"This decision was taken in order to remove all speculation concerning the so-called "bar code" which was never intended to be a reference to a tobacco brand.

"By this we want to put an end to this ridiculous story and concentrate on more important things than on such groundless allegations."

FUCK ME HOW CAN THEY SAY THIS SHIT WITH A STRAIGHT FACE.

So the year fags are banned a black, white and red logo of nothing appears on the cars in the extact same place (the most expensive positioning on most cars), in the same proportions as the previous years Marlboro ads while Phillip Morris continue to pump SHEADLOADS into Ferrari and were supposed to see no link to Marlboro? Right...

Even better, they used that livery in non-tobacco races even when it wasn't.

Tobacco isn't banned by the way, they can run it in China, Bahrain, Abu Dhabi and Monaco if they wish.

It's banned in all EU countrys and i believe theres an agreement that there should be no tobacco advertising on any of the cars these days. But as Ferrari have shown, it's a gret (or red and white) area.

As for cars flipping ... check this shit out. !!

I do like what Mercedes have done with the air box, nice to see something new. Talking of Mercedes and flips, surely nothing beats them at Le Mans 99.

Similar one for Porsche as well but a nice close up on it as it happens.

It was interesting watching them on a track I know pretty well (at least on Forza). I was watching their racing lines pretty closely to see if there was anywhere I could pick up speed, and noticed on that final chichane the top guys (saw on boards of Hamilton, Button, Vettel and Alonso) were taking it completely differently to a lot of those at the back (incidently, the "backrunner route" is my usual one on the game, and having just tried the frontrunner line I've concluded it's impossible in any of the cars available in game. They turn back and forth far too sharply!).

I usually like Eddie Jordan for some reason, but his comments about the Ferrari F-Duct thing are just mental. He seems to think it's some sort of conspiracy against them.

I remember during qualifying yesterday that he tried to dismiss the safety aspect of it by suggesting that looking down into the cockpit with no hand on the steering wheel at over 150mph in the heat of a race is no different to when drivers take their hands off the wheel at the end of a race to celebrate.
