Re: Varsha To Replace Leigh Diffy - Three Races NBC US Cover

I think the average American is less "sophisticated" than the average Brit. But that's not to say that there are very "sophisticated" people here in the US and very unsophisticated people in the UK. But back to Bob Varsha, it wasn't the end of the world to hear him again and it's only for 3 weekends...

Re: Varsha To Replace Leigh Diffy - Three Races NBC US Cover

I don't think Bob gives anything to the team in terms of contributing for information. All he knows is what has happened in the past (stupid stats like people's birthdays and anniversaries etc), not what is going on right now. Steve and David are much more comfortable acting childish around Bob than...

Re: The Official Kimi Räikkonen thread

Long run pace looking good again here based off of FP1.
Won't be able to stay up for FP2 but I'll watch it in the morning.
Hoping for a dry race on Sunday, but I fear it'll at least start wet again.

Re: Why Kimi Räikkönen is my favorite to become World Champi

I wouldn't be so quick to say that Kimi doesn't have the quali pace. Towards the end of 2012 he was qualifying well and usually faster than Grosjean by a couple tenths. In Melbourne he admitted to not pushing hard enough and . That being said, it's also too early to say that Kimi is the man to beat ...

Awesome race by Kimi.
Those last 15 laps were effing terrible to watch!
Fastest lap as well.
Couldn't hope for anything better than this.
The Lotus looks amazing in the race (both speed and tire conservation).
Just need some warm, dry weather and Kimi can win a few more I think.
Yessss!

7th a little disappointing, but Lotus has always been bad in cold/wet conditions. Hoping the race will stay dry and hope the sun comes out.

Re: Some respect for Massa

He's a the perfect 2nd driver to Fernando.
I'm hoping he's fast enough this year to at least be as quick as Alonso.
That being said though, I wasn't surprised at all when I saw him spin.
He's pretty poor in the wet compared to some of the other F1 drivers.

NBCS isn't any worse than SPEED was.
Don't know what you're complaining about.
This is the US, we don't have any channels like BBC so we will always have to deal with commercials.
It sucks, yes. But NBCS hasn't been any worse than SPEED so far.
