2008 F1 Season

[lingeringsoul]

mmmm...i guess its still too early to say if Lewis is better or not, he did have a clean track most of the time and wasn't under pressure. Hope to see him under pressure in the coming up rounds. I think I'll retract the statement about kimmi, he went from the back to the front of the grid, so well done to him. But the two mistakes was somewhat shocking to see. Massa, well....i don't know what happened.

Shame 3/4s of the field did not get a good stint, hard to tell who has pace and who doesnt with a race like the one today.

PS. Heikki was robbed

too tru

but yay for first McLaren win in Melbourne since '03

[sh@un]

Funniest quote would have to be DC last year when he said something along the lines of (on team radio whilst driving) "The brakes are shit, the tires are shit, and it doesn't turn, but apart from that I'm having a great time"

i'm sure there's a lot of choice things said over team radio that we're not privvy to. lol

Heikki quaifying 3rd with 4 more laps juice than the guys around him was very impressive

As was Kubica qualifying 2nd despite going off the track during the lap... Would have been a storming lap time had he not gone off.

i dont think he lost a lot of time doing that as he obviolsy keep his foot deep into it, was still an impressive bit of driving

lucky he didnt hit the canyon up the road that Glock launched himself out of

[Snowman]

PS. Heikki was robbed

He robbed himself (he accidently hit the pit speed limiter going down the main straight hence why Alonso passed him back)

I think we can put kimis f*ckups down to 2 parts of the race. getting held up by rubens for so long would have seen his blood pressure rising a bit, and then after cutting some awesomly fast laps heiki pulls out of the pits right in front of him and then makes life very difficult. kimi obviously just f*cked it up but heiki was being a good little rear gunner for louise.

wtf was with channel 10 they didn't show the after-race thing with the 3 top drivers?

Channel 10 shoud lbe shot for their coverage. I was on the couch watching it Sunday morning and could hear the cars out the back of my palce racing...meanwhile Cgannel 10 was showing lame stories on god knows. Then every now and then they would cut to presenter and you would see GT cars etc racing in background.... only for the commentator to say we will be back with Carrera Cup shortly.

Thumbs down Channel 10...suppport the support classes. And go blood nut skin and hair in 38 deg sun

lol, I staged my own GP yesterday. bought some hotdogs, bought some fosters! the only thing missing really was the sunburn. I did spare a thought for you in the heat big buddy. it must have been nasty.

Heat was ok. The Saturday night antics (really Sunday morning) were what i would describe as NASTY !

[ctjet]

He robbed himself (he accidently hit the pit speed limiter going down the main straight hence why Alonso passed him back)

i meant with the timing of the saftey car due to Timo's MASSIVE accident. It threw Heikis pit stop stratagy out because he was due to pit in the next couple of laps but instead had to trail the safety car around and lose track position

him hitting the pitlane limiter was his own stupidity

oh, and my boy kubica went bloody no where. not sure what the story was there. good thing I didn't put any money on the little bugger. I mean in a race that only saw 7 cars finish nearly half the finishers got a podium!

[Snowman]

Here's a couple of little turn 1 pics. F1 cars really do fall apart well don't they

[Whiplash]

Bourdais was lucky to miss all of that

the ass of the STR in the air next to the Ferrari is hilarious

Did you charge ridiculous prices for your hotdogs too?

[ZCR]
