[mrbiggs]

Rosberg just crashed under braking coming out of the tunnel. he's lucky, just missed a head on with the barrier.

Where did you watch p3 live mrbiggs?
Ok found it on the red button.. Had to rescan the playstation.

 

[mrbiggs]

Red button is messing up for me now, keeps putting tennis and bloody cricket on.ahhh

 

[Big Eggy]

Did you just see the Liuzzi crash?

 

[mrbiggs]

no i missed it, was it bad

 

[Big Eggy]

Pretty bad, smashed up the rear and left hand side.. I think it was the last corner but could be wrong. He wont be in qualifying.. Not that thats gonna shake things up.

 

[mrbiggs]

Bad crash for Sergio Perez, a little concussion but he's ok.

Great lap by Vettle for pole, if only Lewis had not been such a baby he could have been on the front 2 rows, even with Massa's distraction.
But alas it went tits up instead.

Eggy we need some of your pics, you catch the mood well.

Webber for the win, Vettle crashes out (prediction).

 

[mitch_connor]

I think button is due some good luck!

Fingers crossed!

 

[Big Eggy]

Sorry guys.. I only just finished watching the race last night.. Real shame for button it would have been interesting to see if vettel and alonso's would have made the distance. But I I guess we'll never know.
MrBiggs will be on the hunt for some pix when I get into work.

 

[Big Eggy]

Some Pics of the race..

Couldn't find any good shots of the crashes : ( will keep hunting.. but check out the shot of Petrov's tyre.

 

[narko]

why would anybody wanna see pics of crashes ? it just makes a stupid "sport" even worse.

 

[mrbiggs]

Your question is valid, but your statement is antagonistic.
To answer your question it's the same as watching a foul in football or a knockout tackle in American football or rugby.
To answer your statement, Fuck off.


Nice pics Eggy.

 

[Big Eggy]

Well some of then were pretty bad but luckly no one was seriously hurt.. But they are part and parcel of f1 especially Monaco. But if you think it's a stupid sport why are you reading this thead? Maybe you could start a Netball or Rounders thead?
Edit. . You beat me to it mrbiggs lol

 

[mitch_connor]

Nice pics eggy, yeh it's a real shame about the safety cars, I was buzzing when button got the lead and was pulling a nice gap out.

Did you guys watch the f1 forum afterwards, the interview with hamilton was interesting..

 

[mrbiggs]

Nice one mitch, just watching it now.
Hamilton is an arrogant little fucker, but i love his racing.
Lol Coulthard look's ready to party again.

 

[Big Eggy]

Yeah real shame about Button thought that he was gonna take it.. didn't know you could change the tyres under a red flag. Seems that the McLarens have been unlucky trying to second guess stratagies.. if they'd waited a couple of laps before bringing in button he'd have won it for sure.

Will be intresting to see what happens at Silverstone if the FIA deliver on their promis to limit the amount of exhust gas they can blow through the diffuser when the car is going through slow corners.

Didn't get to see the Forum only finished watching last night at about 8o/c (Kids ey?) hopefully i can catch it on the Iplayer?

[Big Eggy]

Edit: ^^ Mine Spazed out too??

 

[mitch_connor]

Yeh for sure I'd love to go to an F1 party. I love it how there is normally a corridor lined with hot women either side!

I think it was pure frustration and he was seriously pissed off, but in fairness watching his replays it did look like he was at fault with his incidents this race!
It was just funny as normally the drivers are so schooled in being very PC and mild mannored in interviews.

I guess that's the unpredictablility of the sport though, You can only really do whats best at the time.

 

[mrwags]

I reckon there way lighter than the Mclarens giving them an advantage with ballast weight.. as the merc engines seem to have the stright line power. rumor has it that the redbulls only just passed their crash test.. but i've also been told that all teams only design the cars to just pass so who knows?

Eggy

The normal F1 team budget is equivalent to some small country's economy. If there is a way to save a pound oz or even gram they will spend whatever is necessary to get it.

Tho I despise Bernie with EVERY fiber in my body F1 has come a long way in getting folks involved again with a new thing we have not seen in years (passing) I mean come on now to spend 500 million dollars on a team where as the race is done in qualifying is what was killing it. Now with the addition of the passing tools recently added you finally have yourself a race with the finest cars in the world.

Speed cost money my good man how fast you go always has and always will depend on how much you got to spend.


Have A Great Day
Mr.Wags

I miss Senna.
