It's fucking hot outside! Not going out there again this summer (rest of today then)

Did I miss anything? Did we have an Alonso, Webber, Hamilton, Button, Vettel five way into a corner?

[myoozikk]

The only retirement from this race so far has been excitement.

Five live are talking about down town Valencia now.

Ah, but what's that got to do with the price of fish?

Does it have a fish market?

As to the original question. I think they'll use the old fish market as a pit area, even when the GP has rumbled onto a more interesting place like Falmouth docks.

While they still use this place for a GP, there has to be hope for a repeat of the Birminghm super prix.

[Halkyon]

Omg a pit stop.

So excited to see the old fish market again.

[myoozikk]

Hopefully the medium tyre will do something/anything.

[Sidewaysbob]

I quite fancy some fish for dinner now

[Halkyon]

Well Kobayashi should be on the softs in the final phase. Might pass somebody.

[marsh]

David, it's not a pitlane, it's a fish market.

[wev]

I think they should be penalised ponts if the race is boring and given extra points if its exciting.

Although obviously I have no way to judge and apply that.

[Sidewaysbob]

dull dull dull dull dull dulll. take off and nuke the site from orbit. passing in the pits sucks. Take him out Webber.

If it ends with less than 75% of the average ratings then everyone gets half points.

[Halkyon]

Di Resta and Kobayashi make it exciting, bonus points for them then wev.

red button voting?

red button voting?

Angry Jenson?

[Halkyon]

I waited two weeks for this shit.

[JohnC]

I waited two weeks for this shit.

That's the normal waiting time for a tour of the historic fish market.

[marsh]

I'll bet sitting in that renault for two hours gets pretty painful on the old lugs. It's irritating me nearly as much as this race track.

[Shimmyhill]

It is a bit much when you are willing someone to stick it in to a wall (without doing any harm to the driver obv) or an engine to let go but even the midfield battles are pretty dull and its all down to the circuit

[marsh]

Where are we racing next?

[wev]

Double DRS zone's done fuck all then

[myoozikk]

I could have spent this time in the beer garden at the pub

[polygon_monkey]

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

[wev]

I wonder if you need a ticket to the race to float up in your luxury yacht and watch it?

[morcs]

Where are we racing next?

In the homeland!

[Sidewaysbob]

British GP in two weeks time. no fish markets within 40 miles of silverstone.

[marsh]

I wonder if you need a ticket to the race to float up in your luxury yacht and watch it?

Given the choice between watching this shit for free, or watching this shit for free on a yacht, I'd still rather be somewhere else.

[myoozikk]

Why does Webber always have issues & never Vettel

[JohnC]

Where are we racing next?

Silverstone. Sadly lacking in a fish market, as far as I'm aware.

[marsh]

In the homeland!

I thought as much, thank fuck for that. A proper race.
