Pitty Massa will drop 10 spots on the grid due to an engine change :indiff:

Massa could be driving a street car and still beat JV...
 
what time (GMT) does the race start?
 
6:30 hours from now. I should get some sleep.
 
i dunno how i'm gonna wake up for 10am.

when's the rerun?
 
That sucks. We don't get it until five hours after the race starts. So, I'll know who won before getting to watch it. Meh, oh well. I could ignore this place for five hours and be surprised. But, I doubt I'll do that.
 
fulll live coverage starting at 1PM for me i think on ITV :D
 
I can't believe that F1 viewers in the US don't even get to see live coverage of the race. This is freakin' lame. I mean what if I miss CBS's coverage? There is not going to be a replay later, so I will have completely missed the race. And the thing is, races in the middle of the day somehow find a way to just not get viewed.

And now back to this race. I think Renault does well again and I think McLaren will do well also. But I haven't really seen anything at all about the race, so I don't really know what has gone on so far.
 
OH YEAH!!! Michael Schumacher can't handle the pressure and runs wide at rivanzaa! Kimi is still on top, but i think him and the two BARs will be stopping 3 times they were all big movers up the field, (well raikkonen didn't move up he just did a blinding lap!) And because of mr shcumachers incident, Webber is still in fourth. and i think he is quite heavy on fuel.

Well gentleman i think we are going to have a very interesting race ahead of us.

1. Kimi
2. Alonso
3. Webber

I think jenson will either blow up or destroy his tyres (i don't know why i think this, maybe i am just hoping?)
 
Final Qualfying



Woo! God yes, go Kimi!!!!

Albers went off into the barriers, no real damage. Michael went into the gravel and lost a bunch of time.

Looks like being a GREAT race!

I don't understand why Fisichella is so low on the list again. He was doing great in the practice sessions, but now is stuck in mid-bottom of the order. And I thought Ralphie loves this course? Toyota is doing great this year so far, so why is he so far down on the list? If Kimi stays in the race, he could take McLaren-Mercedes to second place on the constructors list. Bah!
 
Fisi is so low because he screwed up the final chicane in Qualifying 1, remember the times are aggregate so what you do in Q1 effects Q2.

About Ralf, I'm not sure, maybe the car is not balanced well or something. As usual he is being out-performed by Trulli, so I can't really tell why he is so far down the order...though the times are much closer than usual so a small difference means many positions.

Yeah, he's low down due to the aggregate, but his Q2 time was 1'25.0 when Alonso was in the mid 23's. There is no reason for that.
 
OK, so Fisichella blew it on one of the corners. I understand how both qualifying times are added together, but I didn't know why he was running slower. We still haven't seen anything on qualifying. If they aired it, it was mislabeled as a practice session.

Fisichella is still in it for the points along with MS. They both just had bad runs. I can't wait for this race to start. This, along with Monaco, is the one of just a few races I don't want to have delayed. But, I've got no choice in the matter. :indiff:
 
Yes there is, Fisi went out alot earlier, when the track was still cool and a bit damp.

Blake
 
plus he might be running heavier if he know that he is already starting down the back lower part of the grid
 
Damn, Raikkonen is fast. Him and Alonso are way ahead of everyone else so far in the race ...

*Edit* 10 laps into the race and it's been action packed so far. Damn I wish I could watch it live on TV :indiff:
 
The ITV announcers just came across a great sign at the race.

'Montoya: See you at Wimbledon'

:lol:
 
Hmm... It seems Ferrari are really going downhill this time.
 
I'm jealous, you guys get to watch it live. I'm "watching" it through Live Timing.
 
Wow, Button is flying. And Sato just passed Webber. Go BAR!
 
Lets hope his new engine wont slow him down later in the race to limit the revvs.
