Formula 1 - 2011

I will probably record it Watzi because it is on normal (Non HD) channel 10 at 2:00 as well as the HD channel, so can record it on Foxtel box. If you don't want to get up early and can avoid hearing the results, then it is on agaon on Ten HD at 11.50 AM

i will be staying up to watch, was going to take a nap before the race but stuff it lol

Did tou stay up to watch it Ulti? Kudos to you if you did, would have been a long wait The channel 10 recording cut out because the race went overtime, so I am watching it again now on 10 HD. I did see who won it though, and was amazed, so looking forward to watching it now.

i did stay up to watch it. yeah sucked with having to wait but once it got underway was a good race

I took the not knowing anything option and watch the replay at mid-day Melbourne time.

What a great race and was so happy when Hamilton went out, have not read what he had to say about the Webber incident but I bet he said it was Webber's fault.

Very interesting with the rain and a bit disappointed they did not let them race more in the wet rather than have the safety car out.

Geez Webber had me worried for a while. Thought he was going to be out in Q1 let's just hope that FOR ONCE Webber can get a decent start off the front row.

i missed qually last night unfortunately but im looking forward to the race.

Well it was an alright race, some good racing going on. I got sent this yesterday - http://www.foxsports.com.au/motor-sports/renault-boss-eric-boullier-says-he-wants-to-sign-australian-driver-mark-webber-from-red-bull/story-e6frf3z3-1226082188927

that is interesting

Hmm..that is interesting. Would prefer to see him at Ferrari, but at least he is wanted I suppose.

Except for the Webber/Alonso battle, thought it was a pretty boring race. Sometimes that DRS just seems unfair to me. I mean the poor guy in front doesn't stand a chance if there is a car close behind, and they can't do anything about it.

yeah the webber/alonso racing was good, as well as some of the back field stuff. but yeah i agree it was pretty ordinary

Well 3 practice sessions are complete and guess who tops the time sheets Vettel from Alonso, Webber and Massa. I know it is only practice and they don't show their hands but ...

Just looked up wondering when One would be showing qually and surprise surprise it is on live down our way, giddy up. Should be very interesting qually indeed

yeah looking forward to qually. under 1hr to go WOOT!!

Did you just see the segment on the Lamborghini Murcielago? 0 - 100 in 2.9 seconds

I thiught Ten always showed Quali Live Watzi, just that it was always on too late? I am probably wrong though. A least tonight it is on at a reasonable time I always love it when a F1 race is on, on a Sunday night when I don't have to fly interstate early Monday morning..like this week

Forgot to mention something I hated about the last race, was that they couldn't cross to the broadcast team until about the second lap. Couldn't stand listening to the Australian broadcast team for that first lap

Hope Ricciardo does ok too this race, and at least finishes.

with the live broadcasting, the southern states have been getting it delayed by anywhere form 30mins to 1hr due to the football matches but not up here in QLD

see what you will be missing

Lol Ulti

Webber ended up in the right place at the right time didn't he? Good to hear this latest change could benefit Webber more than Vettel. Don't think so though

haha yeah nice timing of the rain at the end there hehehe

What was that Christian............ Maintain the gap.......... Sounds like team orders to me.

But Red Bull doesn't have team orders.

Good job by Daniel......... bookies had him favourite to not finish the race.

haha yeah i found that quite funny too with the team orders. Did any of you see vettel during the post race conference when they spoke to webber, classic look on his face of "wtf is webber going to say" hahahahaha

Ah crap, typed up a long message and lost it Let's try again.

So Webber is definately leaving RB now, after he admitted ignoring the radio orders for the last 4 laps Would love to see him at Ferrari, but it looks more like he could be at Renault. In my original post I asked, how could Massa or Alonso (I heard speculation) go to RB knowing that they would be the number 2 driver? But I just saw they are saying that Ricciardo is going to replace Webber in 2012 (http://www.independent.co.uk/sport/motor-racing/webbers-defiance-of-team-orders-signals-likely-exit-2311683.html).

How great was that action between Hamilton and Massa on the last few corners? Have to feel sorry for Button. Who forgot the wheel nut

Also felt a bit sorry for Alonso, when the first comment at the post race interview was "so you were gifted the race by RB". I mean he still had to work for it, even though he had McLaren helping Ferrari too by holding up Vettel

Interview with Horner https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DJ0-DtAZ5h0.

Actually I would be surprised to see him leave even after what happened yesterday. I saw some quotes from both Vettel and Webber they are fine about what happened and enjoyed the scrap. Webber said he did not feel like he was a number 2 driver ( Age Article Edit:Just read the Identant link and the age have just paraphrased most of it). There is so much rumor and misreporting that goes on I really don't know what to think half the time, but he was a pi$$ed off camper in the after race interview, just his body language and the way he answered that one question.

Nice YouTube clip BM, do you believe that if it was the other way round they would have made the same call? I recon they would have but I guess we will never know.

Well, you might be right Watzi (as if the was any doubt ) Just saw a headline that Webber is going to re-sign. Lucky they remembered to put the "-" in otherwise it could have been completely different news

another f1 weekend, woot there has been talk about bringing back in season testing and a cool vid on canopy's - http://vimeo.com/26098946

the article which that relates to is this one - http://www.formula1.com/news/features/2011/7/12314.html

Interesting Ulti and yep we have back to back weekends, Germany this weekend then Hungary the next woohoo

Nice! Even better with Vettel on second row. Why do I sense carnage at the first corner? Or does that just happen to us in rFactor?
