F1 Thread!!!

Hard to believe that Kimi just needed 0.6s .... Pretty close again. I am going to say that the tires seem to be the most important part of the car nowadays or should I rather say how you treat the tires. I am starting to think, perhaps they have way too much weight on a result?

Nobody seems to talk about engine, aero package or a gearbox anymore. It's tires this and that, how narrow the temperature window is .... it feels like a tire championship, even though there's just one tire supplier .. .LOL I think the fact that we have had so many winners kind of proves that the rest of the car really doesn't matter much anymore (of course to a limit). It's the setup and how long a setup will make tires last, hook up on a drive out of a corner etc. ....

Perhaps that is the only way how to make the races interesting in 21st century.

Don't listen to Schumi!! :) Seriously though..I think the tires magnify the car problems..if you have a balance problem..etc..you can use up your tires more quickly. It's not as though there are special tires for certain people..everyone is on equal tires. I'm glad they're all on the same tires frankly..they are by far the biggest factor in lap times.

OTOH..qualifying is looking a bit daft when people don't want to run because they don't want to take any life out of their tires.
 
Good on Williams.

Schumi.... what the heck was that?

Vettel made some good moves near the end. Too little, too late.

Massa, time to hand him a pink slip.

Schumi, 5 place grid penalty in Monaco..I liked Coulthard's comment.."apparently the driver in front is allowed to brake when he feels it's appropriate for himself, not the driver behind.." Haha!

Apparently a bit of a fire in the Williams pit afterward..that's...omenous..although I hope not!
 
As a Venezuelan, today is a proud day
 
Ok guys. It's been a GREAT season so far with a nice mix of fresh faces on the podium each week. For bragging rights, anyone care to make a prediction for the next race on who stands on the top podium?? I call..............this is tricky, let's try Jensen Button.
 
Ya congrats to Williams and Maldo...excellent race holding off the likes of Kimi and Alonzo.
Kimi has been on the podium a few times now which is awesome ...I figuring he wants a better view of the paddock so he will definitely will be seeking the top step in Monaco.
 
So she's a soft heart under a hard defensive shell who posts nonsense on web forums all the time?

Bit of a hijack here but.... I've got 2, three day tickets for sale for this years Canadian GP. Grandstand 24, Section 6, Row BB. Anyone interested I'm asking $800. Would part with only one seat if preferable for $400. Won't find any better seats. I've been sitting here since 1992, and won't sit anywhere else.

F1 needs more Kimi and less Lewis.. :) Bit of a piss race..but you can't beat the aura..I always enjoy watching this qualifying and race..except when Schumi parks it across the road to guarantee his pole time.. :)
