For some reason I can never get the time difference thing to work!

The race starts at 5am here so I'll be up early tomorrow, so is that midnight on Saturday for you?

Starts at 10pm here.

That's no drift that's a half spin ;)

I hope Button wasn't light on fuel!

A good race so far, although Button just isn't aggressive enough...  :(

People's lap times seem all over the place today, no consistency, must be track temps/tyres?

Ralf Schumacher arrived in 3rd with a 10 sec penalty (around 21 seconds in the pits) ... Toyota wins and Honda "blows" on this one.  :rofl2:  Races are long and many things can go wrong ... we'll see how they both do in San Marino.  Kimi got shafted again by the slow cars he was overlaping and Ferrari really "hit the wall" this weekend ... issshhhh.  ;D

Alonso won another one (3 for 3 for Renault) but last year Renault started to go downhill in the mid-season and if it wasn't for McLaren's bad luck ... things may have been different in the end.  Anyway, there's still 15 races to go and with the 3 weeks "break" there's plenty of time for any of the top teams to do some private trials and development.  It's still anybody's championship.

JV got points, JV got points.  :banana: :bounce: :pimp: :bounce: :banana: Finished behind his teammate, per usual.

Too bad for Button, taken it on the head. :-[

It still bugs me what the heck happened to Fisichella. I don't recall him overtaking anyone, but recalled him getting stuck behind Liuzzi, Heidfeld, JV, Schuey and everyone in front of him. May be he passed DC, don't remember.

His engineer told him he could "overtake Schuey 'easily'" and Flav had blasted him over the radio to speed up the pace. That should mean free of mechanical problems from the telemetry data in the pit. Can't believe it's not Fisi's problem.

Thought he's good, but this race makes me wonder if he knows how to overtake.

Schuey + Kovalanen line up for 2007 makes sense, as Fisi isn't as consistent as he needs to be.

Talking about consistency. Mass is really consistent with his fiascoes...

Considering where JV started he finished well in the race. The BMW Sauber team seems to be getting it together in the first year.

Vince wants a  F1 ride!



80% car, 20% driver right now, as quoted by a F1 driver.

Did Michael Andretti consult and tested the launch program? :think:
