Sport The Formula 1 Thread

[wev]

And yet here we are

[Halkyon]

I wasn't too annoyed but I just realised I have to listen to Vettel's team radio and see the finger again.

[morcs]

Should be a good one with the new Arena layout and this years tyre/DRS rules. Even better if it rains, which it probably will with this British Summer falling on this weekend.

[tyler]

Brundle is having to try really hard not to just say "well that was shit".

[Arc'Tan'Gent]

I knew someone was going to inexplicably overreact about a fucking finger.

[roskelld]

THat was probably the dullest race I've watched in a long while. For much of the second half, the top cars were spread far enough apart to not cause any excitement.

It felt like all the cars were running in an a safemode.

[wev]

Did anyone else have the problem that Sutil had where the DRS was no use as he was just bouncing off the limiter in seventh gear?

[JohnC]

HRTs both 3 laps down. Great work guys.

[myoozikk]

Crap race. I'm off the pub.

[roskelld]

How long does this race have left before it's axed?

[Sidewaysbob]

thank god that's over with.

[wev]

Sounded to me like Bernie was more in favour of this race than Barcelona when Eddie and Jake asked him at the start...

[Halkyon]

Bernie is a mildly repulsive lecherous old man though. Probably a bit mental too.

[Big Gus]

Podium poontang! Yass!

[Halkyon]

And now we get to hear the Austrian national anthem, for tax avoidance purposes, probably.

Get it over with and on to Silverstone!

[DarthSquirrel]

Podium poontang! Yass!

Even this hasn't been up to the standards of most of this year's previous venues...

[morcs]

And now we get to hear the Austrian national anthem, for tax avoidance purposes, probably.

Despite Red Bull and Mateschitz being Austrian?

Torro Rosso are have less claim to their Italian nationality though I guess, belonging to an Austrian brand and previously part owned by an Austrian ex-F1 driver.

[Sidewaysbob]

right, time for some food. I'll try and summon up the enthusiasm to write something about that dull-a-thon later with the prediction results. If you had Vettel for pole fastest lap and the win, you should be a happy bunny.

bye bye.

[roskelld]

Most exciting part of the race was me fumbling around trying to find the TV remote.

[roskelld]

Webber looks like he wants to kill someone.

[Halo]

Well, at least Vettel was willing to call it boring

[GwiDan]

"WOW that wasn't an exciting race, was it!?" - Jenson.

[DarthSquirrel]

Wow. A spectacular U-turn from EJ about Alguersuari there. Last week he'd been given enough chances and hadn't taken them, this week he's a hungry young man with a great future in the sport...

[wev]

Don't think I'll be watching the Forum today.

[myoozikk]

Newey saying the performance drop for Silverstone will be significant, but thinks it will apply to all teams.

[Halo]

I actually think this is the most interesting forum for a while.

[JPR]

Is interesting hearing them going into more detail on the technical side. Lucky to keep their camera there by the looks.

[layten]

The Ferrari guy didn't look happy.

[wev]

Fine. I'll download it tomorrow

[JPR]

They're in trouble now, kicked out of the area and cars surrounded by marshals.
