Must be some wet paint somewhere that needs supervising, somewhere...

Maybe, or at least removing some lifters  ::)

That would be the shitbox which towed your dead V6 home? The same shitbox which had to slow down as it was towing you too fast?  ::)

Ohh and the same shitbox which didn't break during a gas conversion?  :P :P

Either of your 2.2 shitboxes would do, but not the Elite

Great race in prospect today with McLarens and Ferraris coming through the back of the field, Red Bull again at the front of the grid but look out for Rubens, Hulk and Rosberg to make headway - it's going to be fun when it rains  :y

Oh, happy easter  ;)

I am watching it working hard, 3 second speed advantage needed for an over-take. Unless it rains, its going to be another boring one.

how did Hamilton pass Button last week - is he 3 seconds faster then cos the cars looked the same to me............Eddie Jordan told you that did he?  ;D ;D

tyre degradation, late braking, nerve, driver skill all contribute to overtaking - it is difficult to pass, if it was easy anyone could do it so spare me the bs and go watch Nascar go round and round on ovals if thats your cup of tea ::)

These are supposed to be the best single seat drivers in the world.  Racing needs overtaking, if not its a parade.

Not sure if todays race has finished (or even started), but please report back how many (non pit stop) overtakes there were in the top 6 ;)

Agree, got into it in the late 70s, when it was a 30m highlight show on BBC2 late Sunday night.

Enjoyed it mostly up to the late 90s/early 00s - around the good ferrari/mclaren battles, but since then, terribly sorry old boy, I am a little tired, terribly sorry old boy, I am a little tired, terribly sorry old boy, I am a little tired.  Only worth a watch if something happens - eg rain (but then they bring out safety cars, because the namby pamby drivers aren't man enough).

62 overtakes in the first 2 races alone (ie up to and including Australia), compare that with any F1 season in the last 30 years - don't believe the hype, watch or don't watch F1 just spare me the tired media cliches masquerading as facts, please  ;)

Love F1, not missed a race in 20 years, never record it always watch it live, no matter what time it is on. Some dont like it but its personal choice. Good to the BTCC is back on today aswell, by the time i get to bed tonight will have spent 7 hours watching motor racing, no better way to spend a sunday  :y

sunday is the only day in two weeks i get the remote!!!!! she knows better than to not allow me the F1 and BTCC  rest of the time you can keep the telly dear!!
especially now that men and motors has disappeard :'( thought it was going to be a real cracker of a race, but button changed his tyres to early and suffered later on, laughed when schuey said in the interview
that he thinks he is nearly at his best again, saw him at hereth and an safely say he was very rusty then and i dont see much improvement so far!!! thought webber would have put up a better fight,
We have got a bet on here between me, peter dlaumling(german) Paco,Miguel,Jesus, (spanish) that if an english or british driver wins the championship then they must hold a all night barbeque with free drinks, for us , if alonso wins then i supply the barbie for them and if a german wins then  they supply for him!! sounds complicated but it should be good!! gives us three different nationalities to cheer/abuse/shout at!! :y
