Formula 1 - 2008 Season

It worked for Schumacher.

Sometimes it did, once it got him disqualified from the season

He won two championships using this method though.

Two? I only remember the one where he smashed Hill after crashing himself first, and the one where he tried crashing to Villeneuve(?) but got disqualified

He also lost one because of it?

Besides atleast schumi made it clear he wanted to shunt the others of the track Hammi isnt half as good with his half assed attempts. And when he does it right he makes a pathetic attempt on it by crashing his car infront of a red light.

He did it to Hill two seasons I seem to recall. Although one attempt at shunting Hill off might not have been in the final race.

He also lost one because of it?

Two to one is an acceptable ratio.

"I would say it is quite likely that we will have to replace the engine," said Domenicali after the race. "For sure, after such a heavy race from the middle to the end, it's very likely that we have to change it so we need to play the joker that allows us to do it."
....
Domenicali explained that the team felt that they had limited time at the second pit stop in which they could do anything to help the problem. "It had already fallen off. There was the cable of the lamda and we decided not to cut that because we would maybe lose more seconds, and we had Trulli pushing behind so we took that into consideration. I have to say that in terms of strategy, in terms of teamwork everything was done correctly."

Well they are obviously lying, eh tongue_of_colicab?

It seems it is not just on the track that he collides with competitors. What an unfortunate coincidence.

British GP moves to Donnington Park. Bernie never did get on with the BRDC and their lack of spending money (which, to be fair, they did not have).

Donnington is a good circuit since they butchered Silverstone many a year ago.

 

[DJ12]

Donningtonh has a lot of improvements to make for sure, but unlike the BRDC the owners will make them out of their own money rather than begging the government for handouts of taxpayers money.

I cannot wait until they improve it and burn round it on a track day in my subaru

Team Radio:
- They will put that white powder, after Massa, take it easy now, don't push it too hard.
- X: Then there is no point of driving, why to crash the car, and ruin the tires?
- Just test the car, don't push it, the tires will be OK!
- X: NO! NO! We're going to ruin the tires, but you don't understand nothing Tony..

LOL
Are native-english people here able to identify the driver X from bolded sections above

Webber?

 

[Mendel]

Good job Heikki! Way to go, beating everyone by a mile, 8 tenths faster than Lewis. I will rewatch this quite a few times. Wow!
Heikki really deserved this!

 

[Bludd]

Yeah, he's been unlucky this year and beating P2 with over half a second is really awesome.

Webber surprised everyone, even himself. I do think Webber and possibly even Kovy are both light on fuel.

Really entertaining quali session, Hammy had a nice outing in Q3 (great sound when he flew over the gravel), but the funniest sound of the quali was the sound of Rosberg's Williams' bouncing around. Listen to the engine sound.

So?that just means it didnt really matter that much right? Because if it did they would have taken those few seconds to cut it off and win it back after but apperantly it wasnt that much of a bother to the cars performance.

 

[DJ12]

Once again Hamilton proves he's the rain master.

Surely the haters (you know who you are) cannot question it any more.

 

[tongue_of_colicab]

Well that went easy for Hamilton. Atleast after Raikonnen didnt get any new tires. Ferrari went pretty p00p anyway. Raikonnen still got away pretty good conidering everything but Massa just had a completely undrivable car. Maybe they had it set up for the dry or something but it wasnt going at all. Honda also had some luck. Car is crap but having Brawn atleast means that when there is some chaos you'll stand a chance.

Certainly fun to watch though I wished there was some more rain so we might have had some good crashes.

 

[DuckThor Evil]

Great drive from Hamilton. Ferrari messed up Kimi's race when they decided not to change his tires on the first pit stop. Quite eventful race all in all and the championship standing is rather interesting

 

[Mendel]

What a nightmare right from the start to the finish. Well, I guess Kimi still scored some good points but this was supposed to end with the Finnish national anthem. It didn't. I have got to agree though, Hamilton seems like the rain king.

 

[Davros]

Theyre looking for a way to make F1 more exciting, all drives should be in the wet - job done...

I'm very happy for rubens, ross should be given a medal
