Sport The Formula 1 Thread

I woke up just before 5 to watch quali, only to find that there was a girl asleep in the living room (only room with a TV).

So I hastily pressed the PVR record button and went back to bed.

Just managed to watch it now and because of the red flag the video stopped 5 minutes before the end.

Sounds like I didn't miss anything spectacular, but I'm hoping the same doesn't happen tomorrow. I've set the PVR up again, this time to record for three hours longer than the show, just incase of any wild red flag action. I hate missing a live race.

Fantastic recap of the Canadian grand prix there, go BBC!

[Chooch]

Look how tight Davids jeans are! He can just about get his phone in

[Halkyon]

I couldn't wear jeans in that weather, hes nuts... and his nuts must be cooking.

Fully prepared for the most boring race of the year.

My daughters got a friends party to go to at 2, luckily its not far away but I'm going to miss at least half an hour of the race

Jenson: "Everyone was just going around slow. I don't really know what was happening."

[myoozikk]

Afternoon all. Come on the Mclarens!

[Sidewaysbob]

Mr Lauda, start digging.

[myoozikk]

Lauda could win a F1 race with the speed of his backpeddling.

Also note lauda, critical on mclaren is in the red bull hospitality area.

[JohnC]

Is the King of Spain's mate not doing a grid walk this week?

[Snowman]

Who put Eddie in charge?

[myoozikk]

Haha I love the phantom red bull fan who negs. Who is it own up

[JohnC]

Bernie setting up a strategic shot

[Halkyon]

Oh my lols @ Bernie walking over to the grid 'babe' and away from Eddie.

[marsh]

Right, looking forward to a massive race suprise and not a snoozefest in the docks.

Though with the toad letching after fit ladies he's obviously trying to ramp up the entertainment potential.....

[exwhyzed]

Also note lauda, critical on mclaren is in the red bull hospitality area.

He also won his third title with McLaren. People can genuinely criticise McLaren, they don't need to have an agenda.

[Halo]

It is a real shame that Button is crap at qualifying.

Better qualification and more rain and he'd always be challenging. DRS should help him, though.

[marsh]

Oh, and Lewis to lose a front wing by lap 20...

[Sidewaysbob]

God its a dull track.....

[JohnC]

How many more times is Jake going to mention they used to be fish markets?

[Halkyon]

How many times is Jake going to tell us about the fish market? At four or five including quali.

Edit: beaten.

[myoozikk]

I love driving it in the game, but I agree it's dull as hell to look at. Hopefully DRS & KERS will make it more interesting this year.

[marsh]

Does anyone turn up to watch?

[Sidewaysbob]

Vettel making a hash of the start and losing a wing, would make it an interesting race.

[Halkyon]

Red Bull need to have a terminal mechanical failure, it's long overdue!

[marsh]

Vettel making a hash of the start and losing a wing, cannoning off a wall into his teammate, wipping out the ferrari's and trying to push his car back to the pits and getting a five race ban, would make it an interesting race.

corrected for you....

[Sidewaysbob]

this is at an old fish market you know.

[JohnC]

Is it just me or are they (race broadcasters, not BBC) giving some focus to the Paddock Club before the race at nearly every race this season?

[marsh]

Is that a piotot tube on the front of the Mclaren?

[Sidewaysbob]

Well yeah, but i need him to win for my prediction.
