I was at Hyde Park yesterday watching it. Was really good. Especially being only 10 ft away from the cars. This year was a sighter year for the Series. They are hoping to have more races next year, especially as they can rock up pretty much anywhere and set a track up. Also the car swapping will be ...

What time of the year was Hamiltons time done? Wasn't it during the mid season break? Hence summertime?

Ricciardo may have got a few extra BHP from it being a freezing day in February. Denser colder air = more power.

Loved this race, much better than the first one.

Shame the ladies took each other out.

I hate to say it but.....

I think he should fully embrace the darkside and take Rosberg out on the first corner.

Just sayin....

Is everyone forgetting Bernie's box of tricks in his trailer?

The revving past the beeps was to help preserve the tyre's I thought and not subject them to the lower down torque of the engine?

He's not Legard.

That's good enough for me.

A Red Bull 1-2-3 would make me cry, but a Multi 321 could just be coded as "Dusty Bin"

I would imagine there are many here who don't get that. I do .... just.

I'm actually quite liking the sound of that Ferrari! Especially near the end of the vid where they start winding it up properly.

Imagine the racket 22 of those will make on the grid

Disqualify him!!

Couldn't weigh him with his gloves.

You are far less likely to end yours or someone else's race with a tap in BTCC. Less bits of car sticking out.

So they're actually supercharged not just by the exhaust but also by a battery charged motor - or something running off the crank? Not suprcharged (which is my preferred system) turbocharged Isn't a turbochcarger a type of supercharger? Also, isn't something like the air induction box in the roll-o...

OP obviously did not pay attention somewhere, it was clearly stated that prices were £15 beforehand and £20 on the day. My wife mentioned this to me 3 weeks before or so, and we decided to buy them on the day as we didn't know which day we would be attending, so it must have been written and explain...

Me and the missus were there Wednesday as part of our week away. Was great to finally hear the cars in the metal on track! Our only past experience was the F1 showcase in London a few years back, and even then I only heard them, too many people in front to see anything. Was great being able to wande...

Sounds more like a strimmer.

Sounds like it.

Should have got The Walker to do it.

Fella seems to have good luck at every race, Abu Dhabi, crashing and damaging a wing, his wing did not fall off like Fred's in Malaysia. Brazil, getting hit and knocked about, his suspension did not break, and if he did retire that race, Fred will end up as the 2012 WDC. Thoughts? Schumacher's Law ...

Seemed strange Alonso did "that" jump on the podium a few weeks after the Weber bombing thread popped up?

Yup, impressed at the time, still impressed now!

Red Bull whining? Not on top anymore by a wide margin? Aerodynamic advantage not enough anymore? Can't speed off into the distance from pole any longer? Too bad. :thumbup: Yeah everyone usually whinges that aero had become too important and now that too much downforce is a disadvantage I can't stop...

No need now, it's been found that Cannabis Oil can cure cancer. Look for testimonials on the net.

His timing goes to pot every time he plays together with the other bloke.

Having been in a band many times, synchronicity isn't always something that comes quickly, let alone instantly.

He's quite good.

It's called being "British".

Mansell and Hill used to suffer far worse. Hamilton had a fairly good first couple of years, but the good ol British bad luck is catching up with him now.

Maldonado must have "guessed" the stat like Alonso is said to have done before. That video just emphasises how useless the marshals were at clearing up to. The one in the video that gets to the roll away tyre, should have laid it flat to stop it rolling, but no, he just lets it carry on. :? Watching...

While I like the T-Car idea, and certainly used to be entertained by drivers running back into the pits to jump in another car, it just really isn't safe. Especially if shock or concussion sets in half way round the lap out of the pits. What was it Martin Brundle talked about once..... he ran back t...

Roast dinner, wine and a smoke with my F1 fanatic wife.

i read that as "i will not resort to Sky,i can't afford it"

I'll admit it does look better, but I'd want it to go better, not be a lap behind all the time.

Is £20 this year!! No free version it seems.



Unless anyone knows different?

We are using the Skygo part of someone we know who has a subscription to all packages, but he is highly unlikely to ever use a computer or tablet, so we are mugging Murdoch off for £30 a month!
