wat i dont get is how you can just sit in the one spot for three fcukn days!! i know you can come and go as you please but wouldnt you feel obligated to stay put because you forked out $400 at least to sit there??

F1 is about the experiece and the atmosphere of the crowd, not fcukin sitting still in a shitty little plastic seat... if you gonna do that than just dont go

thanks for telling me what F1 is all about. though i would contend that you have NFI what you are talking about. I have been going to the F1 in melbourne since 2002. I have to fly down from sydney and stay in a hotel there, and hire a car so it's by no means cheap for me. i always (except 1 year of GA) have a grandstand seat and prefer to watch from the inside of turn 1. i have also watched from turn 13, back straight, front straight and probably 6 or 7 other spots all around the track. had you ever sat in a nice grandstand seat you wouldnt go back to sitting with the v8 loving bogans and smelly germans who are all crammed up against the fence. i always have a good seat and my view of the track is not spent looing through chicken wire like it is on the ground at the GA viewing points. so i guess according to you because i can afford to buy and enjoy a couple of grandstand seats, and i inject over $1300 in ticket price alone into melbourne and F1 i'm not welcome? and i shouldnt go?

who said you shouldnt go? go and sit in the grandstand and wave your little flag around i dont care where you sit im telling where i want to sit.

My uncle is the Oceanic Sales Rep. for Ford and he gave me his corporate pass, and you wouldnt believe where that'll get you in. I can afford to sit anywhere i want but i still contend i will never sit in the grandstands and piss away at least $400.

where i sit is on turm 8. no fence impedes my view, i have a super screen infront of me and i have a HUGE blanket that only my mate and i sit on, plus chairs, drinks , food and im a hell of a lot closer to the track and the cars than most people. and im free to move the same setup wherever i choose and not have to sit in the same spot with the same view for four days

FCUK THE GRANDSTANDS!!

you have trouble with memory. you posted: ...in a shitty little plastic seat... if you gonna do that than just dont go"

sure you can sit where ever you want. just dont keep posting up rubbish about how anyone who sits in a grandstand is an idiot and less of an F1 fan and shouldnt bother going. if the grandstands were empty there wouldn't be a melbourne race for you to watch.

i said that if you go to the F1 just to sit in your "plastic seat" for four days and not move around at all and enjoy all that the F1 experience is, then your a dickhead and you shouldnt go.

for $400 most people feel obligated to sit still and get their moneys worth, whereas i pay less than $100 and can run free wherever the winds blows with no obligation to stay anywhere

i will just accept that you have your opinion. all that pissed me off mate is you just started attacking people who you identify as wannabe fans waving flags in a seat for 4 days. when i go the the F1 i like to watch all over the place. I often watch the V8s from that hill over the other side of the lake (i tihnk it's called brockys hill or something), i also like wathcing around other places. but when the flag drops i want to be at turn 1, on the inside (which you cant get to with General tickets). having the stand ticket means i can go pretty much anywhere over the course of the weekend. General tickets are excluded from the prime areas even just to get in near the fence and when you do get there you are looking through a 12 foot high fence (just about nowhere is unfenced anymore). the only way to get a view over the fence is in a stand.

anyway you say that sitting in stand makes me a wanker or a wannabe fan. I say i sit in a stand because i love going to the F1 and in the years i've been going there and trying different things that is the place i like the best.

enjoy the race wherever you are watching.

Sorry I am confused, you like the view at Turn 8, but you move around?

So the view at Turn 8 isn’t that good?

What happens when 20 Germans drop in front of you? :)

2 metres tall and 120 kgs each, and that’s just the girls. :O

What happens if they want their Schumi umbrellas up to keep the sun off?

Wanna hang their 20 metre X 20 metre F’rrari banner? :(

You ain’t gunna see nuthin’ :O

You’ll be cryin’ in you blankie instead of sitting on it. :sweat:

:D cheers :D

lol, you always have a way of putting things garry. it is true though. Come the start of the race all the general areas get crammed as there is a massive dash to get to a spot where you can see anything at all. there may be flag wavers in the cheaper stands but in the 2 stands at turn 1 (which are $660 per ticket either outside of track or inside) most people are there to enjoy the race and not mess up anyone elses view.

i cant wait. let's get this week over with!

it doesnt matter who sits infront of me because the hill has such a massive slope and im sitting on a chair, that nobody can be in my view :(

Cheif Engineer, Jorg Zander left williams for personal reasons, returning to germany to be with his family. they say it shouldn't affect their performance. they've just finished a 3 day test at velincia, which was a sucess. they managed to fix the problem which caused Nico Rosberg's engine to blow and it ran perfectly over the 3 days. things are looking good at williams.....

I've been robbed from this event! I can't make it cause of this torn achiles tendon. What a freaken greek tragedy alright.

Toyota = toymotor this year. But don't forget, as the season progresses, the bigger budget teams could come back because of their ability to R&D faster.

Just saw Paul Stoddart get interviewed on Channel 10, and Minardi will definately be making a come back in 2008 IF... the rumored budget of $100 million per team comes into place.

Bring back Minardi/Paul Stoddart i say!!

Cause good old Paul had the balls to speak out-unlike the other robot like tosser team owners-YES MR Eccolstone anything you want Mr Eccolstone-please :fakenopic:

Exactly why!! Stoddart added a bit of character to F1 never affraid to speak out. Stod said that if every team was limited to a budget of 100Mil that Minardi would be very competitve, they were probably running on that type of budget when they were last racing and were only 3 seconds behind the Billion dollar budget teams. Besides even the shit teams are good for giving the younger drivers a start in F1.

Lets not forget how Webber got started.

One more reason is that Paul Stoddart is an Aussie and it will be good to see him serve it up to the bigger teams :starwars: with his go go mobiles.
