Awww Poor Diddums

Hmmm, so a world champ gets pissed because his car is not up to scratch? Seems fair enough to me, a bit different to a certain pommy media darling who puts on the grumpy face when he does not come first.

Lets see:

Pole positions: 0

Wins: 0

Podiums: 0

Championship position: 4th

So, yeah, on track.

given that webber has 2 more championship points than this time last year, is only 11 points behind the leader (instead of 26 last year), is ahead of bieber and is getting slightly better starts than last year (dropping half as many spots off the line as last year), i'd say he'd be well chuffed.

Hmm, not sure. Last year he couldnt win a race (until it stopped mattering) because he couldnt deal with the tyres. This year it is because the car sucks the big one. Not sure that either makes for a happy driver.

Also, just because Bieber has been rubbish so far is good as far as it goes but doesnt help as much as you would hope.

Vettel is the yardstick now, according to popular opinion, so when mark does well against him it reflects positively I guess.

yes, and the fact that the longer that webber stays in front of vettel in the points, the more likely he is to get more favourable treatment from the team as far as strategy goes. i also wouldn't say that the car "sucks the big one". they just don't have as good of a qualifying car, and the race car isn't as much of a dominant force, but they are still a fast car.

Personally Abu Dhabi sux dog balls for a GP. You will pay big money for tickets and accom. There is no social life when in town. So many other GPs in Europe or Asia where you will have amazing fun and most likely way cheaper and also whilst there is still a championship being run

Given how cheap flights are at the moment I was looking at the Texas F1, looks like its popular as most of the hotels are fully booked for the weekend in Austin

Who's been to the singapore GP ?

Very seriously considering going over for this year, anyone got any hints or tips ?

Seems to be one of the more economical GP's to head to, my main problem is I'm time poor with work and uni.

What do people think > ?

I wish this was the case, but whilst that dog Helmut Marko is there V-tool will always get first preference to strategy and upgrades.

    • Tonight's pre bed listening:  carducci string quartet.   Might change to something a little more operatic.
    • That sort of chaos is totally on brand for them. My girls are friends with them and have seen some total chaos at various festivals and shows.
    • There is an svs pb13 ultra on fb marketplace that I've been watching. Might have to actually try and hear some in the flesh. Same guy with the rel's also has a matching sub to my lcr speakers. Updated drivers, but isn't cheap.
    • Might as well just upgrade to a Tonewinner D6000... I think if it goes down to $1.5 to $1.6k I'm going to do it... Will work out which part of the couch I'm allowed to sleep on once I'm banned from the bedroom.   Same, however technology changes and these days those once amazing subs are just mediocre compared to a SVS, Velodyne and now (apparently) Tonewinner.   They're always closed, treble performance drops and I notice the speakers fall off axis quite easily. Compromise right? I ran the room calibration with the door closed etc. and you could tell the room EQ correction slapped on more mid and treble. With Yamaha's YPAO, you can't see what has been applied to the EQ with correction applied, where as the older Audessey it showed you the post correction EQ.
    • That sounds pretty good. I saw them play at work, once. They were pretty good. One of the band members was slightly inebriated and throw a t-shirt merch box into the crowd. After their set, they tried to recoup the t-shirts or payment. Was funny and sad at the same time.
