Drama time!
Mosely passes the vote of confidence by a wide margin. ADAC (Germany) announces boycott of FIA activities and AAA (US) is threatening the same. MSA (Britain) respects the decision and will stay on with the FIA. RACB (Belgium) doesn't seem likely to stay, but no official decision yet. http://en.f1-live.com/f1/en/headline...03143317.shtml http://www.f1technical.net/news/9321 http://www.f1technical.net/news/9320 http://www.crash.net/motorsport/f1/n...f_the_end.html |
This is kind of a cool rumor.
http://en.f1-live.com/f1/en/headline...03105609.shtml Coulthard -> Renault (Piquet's old seat) Vettel -> Red Bull (Coulthard's old seat) Piquet -> Scuderia Toro Rosso (Vettel's old seat) |

Dang it, the start time was weird, so my DVR didn't get it and I have to wait until Wed. replay. :(
Matt says it was "The Best F1 Race Ever" or something like that. |
It was on Fox, did you have it set for Fox?

Was there no pre-race show on Fox, or was it listed as a separate program? My recording started during the parade lap... about 15 seconds into the broadcast the lights went out. :unamused: Fox should be ashamed to have skipped Peter Winsor in the pit lane pre-race... it really takes away from the excitement of the race start when there's no build up, and Peter is an exceptional pit lane broadcaster.
At least they didn't have Derek Daly in the booth dropping the IQ of the broadcast to sub-NASCAR levels. As far as the race itself... it was easily one of the best F1 races of the last 5 years. Lots of twists and turns, and some great drives by people you wouldn't expect to do well. :cool: I really think a lot of it has to do w/ the layout of the track in Canada... some very fast straights into tight turns and chicanes lends well to passing opportunities. Plus the lack of runoff in many spots means Canada is well known for being a Safety Car track, which despite my loathing of the use of the pace car in NASCAR, does in fact make the races a bit more interesting by playing with pit strategies mid-race and closing up the field. |
Oh, just finished watching the race with Mike and Tyson. Easily the most enjoyable race I've watched in a long time. And sure, there were some shennanigans, but besides "the one" error, nothing seemed too horribly shuffled outside of some safety car strategies that worked out quite well.
Though, about 15 laps in I was ready to question Matt calling it the best race ever. |

“There's not much I can say,” a phlegmatic Raikkonen admitted afterwards. “My race was ruined by Hamilton's mistake. I might not be the best person to say you shouldn't hit anybody because in the last race in Monaco I made a mistake, but it's one thing to be going 300km/h on the circuit, lose control and hit somebody and another to be going down the pit-lane with a speed limit, not look in front of you and hit a car stopped at a red light. That's a bit stupid. “I am not angry, because that doesn't achieve anything and does not change my result. I am unhappy, because I had a great chance of winning. Once the graining had gone from the tyres, the car was going very well. “I have failed to score in these last two races and now it's time to start winning again. There is still a long way to go in the championship and it is still very close, and we have everything we need to regain the ground we have lost.” |

I'm bored today.
Toyota Shens now. They've partnered with whoeverthehellisreleasingthenewbatmanmovie to promote the new Batman Movie. They even took a lap at Silverstone with Glock in teh TF108 and Truli in the Batmobile Tumbler. I'm mildly interested to see if that's up on youtube yet. And if either gets on the podium, they'll be wearing Batman capes. http://www.f1technical.net/news/9669 |
Ghey.

Felipe Massa looks like Wes, the guy with the old mustang at autox.

OK, I have to admit it... The Germany race was quite a race on many fronts. Wish they were all that interesting. No spoilers, but if you haven't seen it, do so.

That is the closest we have to a sleeping emoticon... Don't think any of this is a spoiler as you could have guessed it all if you had seen the course beforehand but I will be nice.... Oh boy, another street circuit with no visibility for the drivers, no overtaking and all the action in the pits or on the track in front of them. ;) |
So Charter decided that the $140 we gave them last month wasn't enough, so they turned off our Cable last night before the race...
Does anyone still have the race on their DVR? Can anyone burn it to a DVD-R for me and Lisa? |
