Japanese Grand Prix
« on: 08 October 2012, 07:59:09 »
Well a pretty boring race after the first lap incident, I nodded off after lap 20 until lap 50 :-[, pleased for Massa and Kobayashi. :y

Looks like Adrian Newey is stretching the rules again, did you notice how Red Bull had placed barriers around the cars on the grid and placed mechanics around the backs of the cars. I would have though scrutineering would have paid extra attention after the race. ::)

Like you say, apart from the crash test dummy (Grosjean) causing another first corner incident it was pretty boring. The only good thing is that Alonso went out so the championship is now much closer :y

Races are too long IMO.


...5 laps would have covered Suzuka. The camera men started drifting off to shots of the ferris wheel. Whoopdebloodydoo!

I recon they should just keep doing starts until there are only 3 cars left intact, and then do the podium... Job done!  :y

Shouldn't take too long with Grojean about...  ::)

British and World Supers have a cracking series. Burn, Lowes and Books having a right ding dong all race long at Silverstone. Every lap was cut and thrust. And all god natured fun amongst the boys at the end.

Shame Sykes was pipped by Biaggi by half a point in Wsb.

Ahem, sorry back on topic, Tunnie is the onboard stuff during live coverage only?
