When you figure out the gears and stuff you can absolutely go nuts on it.
Feels soooo good.

Also speaking of memorable tracks, it's such a huge shame what happened to Hockenheimring.
It's such a shame it'll never go back to how it was pre-2001.
http://paddocktalk.com/news/html/story-176255.htmlCorrespondents for the Corriere dello Sport and O Estado de S.Paulo newspapers, meanwhile, claim Hamilton's mood might be explained by his apparent joining of the controversial celebrity religion Scientology.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/formula_one/15335028.stmHamilton's mood attracted a lot of attention over the weekend. He is only a few years older than my own racing son, and so from a fatherly and human perspective it makes me sad to see him so unhappy.
I don't know Hamilton well enough to fully understand what may be going on, but I have known and observed him for a number of years and he's clearly in an emotionally bad place.
I've heard the gossip about him splitting with his girlfriend, the pop singer Nicole Scherzinger, and we don't see his family close by any more as we very much did in the early years.
My reading was that Hamilton wanted to send a message to somebody about how unhappy he is at the moment, and so chose not to celebrate his excellent pole position in the normal manner.
Korea was the end of a run of five consecutive podiums for Button, Hamilton's team-mate.
Sweet, I will give it a go tonight or tomorrow after work.Foliorum Viridum said:When you figure out the gears and stuff you can absolutely go nuts on it.

"It is like a striker having a non-scoring spell. It weighs on them heavily and then suddenly they score and keep on scoring. Lewis is one of the very best drivers out there."
Seriously hope this isn't true If it is I'll need to find a new favorite driverEdmond Dantès said:

Not much left of that section where F1 cars would famously blast into the forest, sparks flying as the bargeboards made contact with the tarmac.

Man, this is though if true. I was never a Hamilton fan, but I like him. I try not to get bothered by something like this, as long as the behavior doesn't change, but F1 is such an emotional sport, it could be hard to ignore it.Edmond Dantès said:

That said, not sure I believe it yet.
Wikipedia said:Scherzinger considers herself to be a devout Catholic.
Very fishy sources, to be honest.Edmond Dantès said:

Wonder who that could be.
http://www.euronews.net/sport/1166333-double-done-red-bull-aim-for-triple/Adrian Newey, the technical boffin who has created title-winning cars for three teams and been a driving force behind Red Bulls double-double successive drivers and team titles was hard at work on the other side of the planet designing the next world beater.
Focus has to start moving towards next year and weve got less than four months to design and build a completely new car, said team principal Christian Horner after German double champion Sebastian Vettel took his 10th win in 16 races this season.
Thats why Adrian elected not to attend this race. Hes busy back in the UK focussed on our RB8 (car).
It's not about feeling sorry for him, it's wanting him back to his tenacious, ruthless, blisteringly quick self. We're missing out on the best of Lewis because of his current problems. I want him to make use of his rare talent, instead of wasting it.Omiee said:Its hard to feel bad for someone who is making millions of dollars a year, is driving the fastest type of car in the world. And is a part of such an excelent team with such an amazing history. And is also dating one of the most beautiful girls in the world.

Expecting something very special from Newey and his design team.
Will it be a evolution of the current design minus EBD or will be harking back to the RB5. Or could it be something revolutionary.
It can't be as bad as the MP4/18 can it. Newey is due a bad car after all of his recent success though.
Im starting to think the RB8 isnt going too well.brotkasten said:I really hope he fails with the RB8.
Also, I don't buy Horner's line here.Adamm said:Im starting to think the RB8 isnt going too well.
A few weeks back Newey was saying about amazing it is going to be even though he normally keeps quiet about his cars & not want to big them up too much before the season starts.
And now he has skipped a race to work on it?
Either its going to be something special, or its gonna be rubbish.
Personally, I hope its somewhere in between
It's not cool to trivialize one driver when you could easily do that for the whole sport and other types of entertainment.Omiee said:Its hard to feel bad for someone who is making millions of dollars a year, is driving the fastest type of car in the world.

Negotiating with Bernie... hahaha.
According to local media, the cost for the race this year stands at £52 million - which includes a £35 million fee for hosting and television rights. The current deal with Formula One Management, which runs until 2016, includes a 10 per cent escalator for hosting rights over its duration.
With income from tickets estimated to be around £16 million, the venue is currently loss making

As if they didn't already start with the car ...
Yeah, but who's going to believe that? I mean, come on, it's Red Bull with Adrian Newey. Nobody would believe that.DrM said:two words: Mind games
pretty obvious he meant "weve got less than four months left to design and build a completely new car", as the designing of the next seasons car pretty much begins at the start of the active season for all teamsbrotkasten said:Also, I don't buy Horner's line here.

He's a human, you know. The fact he has a fuckload of cash and drives in the best car in the world doesn't change that.
Jesus. I'd like to see you in the pub with a mate and call him a spoiled brat because he broke up with his missus.
Omiee said:Im sorry but lets look at it in a different way. Say you have a big project or deal and you have to work hard at it, if you dont it might be in danger. How will it help you to not get over it and focus on something else when you just broke up.
If my friend is at risk to blow his deal at work or what ever i would tell him to forget about the break up for a minute and focus on the things he still has that are worth keeping.
Im sorry but acting the way he did after qualy in the interview and after the race is not going to win him races. With that attitude he is not going to cut it.
Hamilton should just leave all the drama behind him, put his head up and just do what he does best. This really has been a season to forget for the guy
