Formula 1 - 2012 Season

[Lightman]

So the boring Bahrain GP wasn't so boring this year .

Great drive by both Lotuses which were the only cars on track really moving forward!
Vettel did well to stay in front, but the rest was only fighting not to go backwards.

Alonso delivered on his prediction of realistically aiming for 7-10th place. Good job!

Really liked this race, lots of action all around with plenty of overtaking.
Sad we have 3 weeks brake before next GP, at least there will be some testing in between.

Yeah the race was really fun to watch.

Now back to Europe, just when I'm heading off to Asia and back to Asia when I'm returning to Europe :')

A quick Q
when the bbc only have highlights do they still have the f1 forum ?

 

[Bludd]

Great race, Kimi was fantastic.

 

[Mendel]

Lots of interaction between Kimi and Horner after the race.

Kimi to replace Wibbah next year?

 

[Kaotik]

According to some interview Horner just said "great race you had there" and Kimi replied "not great enough" or something

Hallmark of a true race driver. Finishing second just means you're first of the losers.

Love him.

Cheers

Yes but part of the highlights. Not tried the "red button".

Not tried the "red button".

Just be careful not to use it too often and burn it out - remember, under F1 rules, you are only allowed a few TVs each season.

I found the forum on bbci player it seems to have disappeared now

Funny thing is my TV's red button is not working. Looks like I am running slightly impaired, need to pit in and get it checked out.

I think everyone will join me in wishing bernie the best of luck on his upcoming nuptials

Well Quali for the Spanish GP was a little unexpected. Some big names missing from the from the front few rows.

Hamilton could lose his pole position.

 

[tongue_of_colicab]

He would not specify what the technical problem was that led to Hamilton being told to stop the car.

"It happened in the garage (and it) didn't impede the performance in any way''

Right. So it can't be anything important so no reason to stop out on track apart that they probably did underfuel the car a bit to start lighter.

And he has lost it. Back of the grid you go.

 

[Gerry]

Williams on pole!

 

[DuckThor Evil]

Epic fail on McLarens part, but what a harsh penalty for that!? Imo 5 or at maximum 10 place grid penalty would have been more approriate or make the team lose points or something. Well Kimi has much better chance to win now

 

[DJ12]

lol mclaren are just throwing away their advantage anyway they can. bring back big ron.

A bit harsh, loosing his best lap would have been fair.
