Re: Best European GP to visit? - 13 years ago

I've been to the Hungarian Grand Prix, we sat at the turn 1 grandstand so we had an excellent view. The only downside with Hungary is that you can't sit in other grandstands on Friday and Saturday as you can at Silverstone. The weekend we went was also packed with Finns and Poles which created an interesting atmosphere and almost made it feel like a home GP for Raikkonen, Kovalainen

Re: 2010 British Grand Prix SPOILERS - 14 years ago

I went this weekend, my first British GP since '99, Ferrari's race was terrible but at least not as bad as the last time i went, still had an excellent time though. We had grandstand tickets in the new section, I don't know how it looks on TV but its a great place to watch live from. Not only do you get a good view of the village and the loop but you can see the cars go through

Re: The Official 2009 Australian GP Thread spoilers - 15 years ago

From BBC: The sport's world governing body said they were excluded "for providing evidence deliberately misleading to the stewards at the hearing on March 29." so it's not so much for the overtaking, more what he said to the stewarts last weekend

Re: The Official 2009 Australian GP Thread spoilers - 15 years ago

I know its only first practice but the BMWs were pretty disappointing. Also Lewis was really struggling with his McLaren. Good to see Williams at the top of the timesheets, can't wait for the next session, so glad F1 is back.

Re: K.E.R.S for dummies video - 16 years ago

so if they power up the KERS by braking, does that mean out laps in qualifying will now be cars excessively and repeatedly accelerating and then braking on straights to charge it up?

Re: "The Dark Knight" (Batman Begins sequel) - 16 years ago

Never going to happen. The Shia LaBeouf as Robin note paints the whole thing as a lie, Nolan has repeatedly stated that Robin has no place in his Batman Universe. Anyway hasn't Christopher Nolan so far not agreed to the third film, he wants to do some other projects first.

Re: 2008 review F1 DVD released on Dec 1st - 16 years ago

I've got all the Duke ones, generally they're very good, I would recommend any of the ones with Clive James presenting, brilliant stuff. I've also got two of the Brunswik DVDs, 1980 and 1970, and they're both pretty poor, races missing and really hard to follow whats going on. Looking forward to this one, hopefully if its a double disk they split the season over two disk

Re: David Coulthard, this is your life! - 16 years ago

DC admitted this was at least partially his fault after Alonso break tested him in 03. Didn't say he did it deliberatly but admitted he shouldn't have lifted off in so much spray

Re: Best driver on the current 2008 grid - 16 years ago

Got to agree with dkpioe, Kimi has been poor this year, hopefully he comes back stronger and motivated next year. Best drivers on this years grid have been Kubica and Alonso in the second half of the season. Vettel also deserves a mention he's driven brilliantly this year.

Re: Alonso to BMW? "Deal Done" - 16 years ago

Credit suisse are pulling out as a sponsor of BMW at the end of the year I believe, they've been hit to some extent. RBS are in varying degrees of trouble, but I've not heard of them cancelling sponsorship But Santander and ING don't seem to be affected thus far

Re: So, are you satisfied with your TV F1 commentary? Monza spoilers - 16 years ago

Thought the highlights video at the end of the ITV coverage focused a bit too much on a certain driver and not the real star of the race. I'd actually give ITV credit for airing the views of drivers who said Hamilton was wrong about the Spa penalty, I wouldn't have put it past them to just bleet on about it being unfair.

Re: Hot Racing - 16 years ago

1984 US Grand Prix was the one where Mansell passed out at the end while trying to push his car across the line. Wikipedia says the start race temperature for that race was 40 C equalling the 1955 Argentine GP and the 2005 Bahrain Grand Prix. Hasn't the Malaysian Grand Prix been incredibly hot before? or is that more to do with humidity

Re: 100th Grand Prix Winner - 16 years ago

I'd go with Kovalainen, he's looked quick at times this year and if he got a bit of luck one weekend he could win a race. And normally when McLaren have a car capable of winning regular races both drivers pick up at least one win

Re: Canadian GP Thread SPOILERS - 16 years ago

How is Hamilton not disappointed? To win the Championship you need to win "your" races. Canada was a race that Hamilton and McLaren should have won by rights. I'd say the DNF hurts them more than it would hurt Kimi.

Re: Canadian GP Thread SPOILERS - 16 years ago

If it was kimi's fault that he hit Sutil and he should have a penalty for that should Hamilton not have had a penalty for running into the back of Alonso earlier this year? Bottom line is it had made the Championship very interesting.

Re: Canadian GP Thread SPOILERS - 16 years ago

Cars have been side by side down the pit lane before, there have not been penalties handed out and there should not be penalties handed out here. Had there been a green flag there would not have been a penalty given. If the cars were lined up surely Hamilton would still have run into them, he'd have less room to move in too

Re: Canadian GP Thread SPOILERS - 16 years ago

We've seen cars side by side in the pit lane before and no action has been taken. Also Raikkonens crash into Sutil was in different circumstances, it was in a green flag situation, this was in the pit lane, under a yellow flag with a red light at the end of the pit lane. Great race, glad to see Kubica win, he's driven well and deserved to win the race. I felt bad for Heidfeld, he&

Re: A1 gp is also a breeder for f1? - 16 years ago

Scott Speed did the first few A1GP races before he moved to F1, and we all know how well that went. Its not going to be a direct feeder to F1 in the near future, but I could see it becoming an option before moving to GP2.

Re: Grand Theft Auto IV - 16 years ago

I'm disappointed with this is the police. they really don't chase you as hard as they did in the previous games, which takes away some of the fun. The hand to hand fighting system also sucks, but its irrelevent once you have a gun, the shooting system is excellent. Otherwise its a great game.

Re: UK retail running out of GTA IV - 16 years ago

the 360 version also has the exclusive downloadable content. I rang game on Oxford street, they've stopped taking pre-orders for both 360 and PS3 versions. They also said they're not going a midnight launch as they did for San Andreas. Irritating as I haven't preordered a copy
