Hellllllooo, just had an awesome afternoon of karting, now I'm parked on sofa & looking forward to a hopefully awesome grand prix.

[JohnC]

Don't dare start with a safety car.

[mexos]

Girlfriend's gone home, fridge stacked with goodies, raining outside and lots F1 on the telly. Perfect :-)

[dayte]

lol @ DC's German

[mexos]

That film with the cobbler was awesome.

[myoozikk]

BBC coverage FTW!

[mexos]

Woah, there's not much grip at the end of that pitlane.

[myoozikk]

Proper wheel spin on that Williams on full wets.

[marsh]

Brundle seems to have eased off the pies, must be taking this racing lark a bit more seriously of late.....?

How on earth did Emerson ever manage to get his visor shut with that nose? it's massive.

Anyone know of a good justin.tv feed, preferably a BBC feed? I'm stuck abroad and don't have it on TV or even a legit way of watching online. Everything I click on is just a still on justin.tv. Would be very thankful

[Plums]

Weber sounds particularly Australian today. I think he's in a good mood.

BBC coverage FTW!

*sob* I feel like I'm standing on the street watching a fun party going on and I'm not invited.

Pre race here in Canada I have the choice of NASCAR, horse racing, darts and softball. It's the countries home Grand Prix and all we'll see of it is a cut up version of the BBC feed during the race.

[Chooch]

The arse on the woman in the green trousers!

[myoozikk]

I think this could be a classic, has all the potential to be. Fingers crossed.

Are you on your own computer, ie. able to install stuff? I use Expat Shield to watch stuff on iPlayer.

QUICK GET GEORGE LUCAS OUT OF THERE, HE'LL GREEN SCREEN THE WHOLE RACE!!! 

[marsh]

Was that George Lucas in a Williams jacket?

I know they're hard up but fuck me that's pretty desperate.

[marsh]

Bollocks.

[myoozikk]

Missa start de race unde de safety car! #fuckjarjar

[dayte]

Why are the pit girls dressed with funeral attire?

[roskelld]

Fucking hell. I'm watching the NASCAR pre race driver interviews. One of them has just been asked about his race tactics and he's pointing at all the sponsors at his car to earn him some brownie points. Branding and advertising rule the roost here it's embarrassing.

[mexos]

Safety Car start.

[Dandy_Sephy]

boo-urns

[JPR]

Bloody hell safety car start, they'll be complaining about racing in the rain soon the way it's going, pathetic.

[dan_tm]

Their national sport is lacrosse, you silly people.

[roskelld]

The show finally begins!

Watersports

[JohnC]

That DRS criteria is a bit ambiguous.

[dayte]

F1 cars to start with zimmer frames next year!

[JPR]

That's really annoyed me, talk about ruining the start of a race.

[Dandy_Sephy]

That DRS criteria is a bit ambiguous.

For the likes of us who are only recently watching F1 again, can some explain this DRS to me. I have no clue about it
