Support NeoGAF

You two will make adorable Webbsy children.

I'd geek out if I saw a NeoGAF flag... but you're not particularly likely to see it at Singapore because of the lighting.

Like I care. They need to make it happen, or I'll make that Webber crash happen.

Indian GP timetable.

FP1: 05:30 BST
FP2: 09:30 BST
FP3: 06:30 BST

Qualifying: 09:30 BST

Race: 09:30 GMT (Clocks go back an hour)

Fun fact: This is the only race that starts on the hour for India, otherwise due to their interesting timezone the sessions all start at the half hour mark.

Knowing our luck, he'd probably come out looking like Vettel. Or even worse... Maldonado.

 

[Foliorum Viridum]

Worst of all, Petrov.

I'm really looking forward to this weekend. India might have issues, but the track is godly. Please have some good racing on it!

That wouldn't be so bad. The kid could always wear a helmet.

 

[Chris R]

Race is at like the worst time for me. 1:30 AM aka too late to stay up and be comfortable the next day, and too early to go to bed and then wake up and watch the race... I'll have to figure something out though, because I want to watch the race

Better than having DC's jaw.

With Korea having one race a year and comments about the dust/dirt on the India circuit, why don't they run several street sweepers down the track for a couple laps?

 

[Shaneus]

Thank fuck the F1 app for iOS is working for the latest version, now.

I'm going to assume it'll just go back to being dusty again, very quickly.

It would be like shovelling snow during a blizzard. Although I'm just making a wild guess.

They do at some tracks, but it wont take long for the dust from everywhere else to coat the track again.

Unrelated, continuing my season review marathon and I've noticed that the Mercedes engine in the McLaren was garbage for a number of years. Seems they couldn't go more than 2 races without one of them blowing up.

Always reminds me of that wonderful race where Mika's engine blew up at the last lap. That was fun to watch.

E: it was the Spanish gp in 2001. http://m.youtube.com/index?desktop_uri=/&gl=DE#/home

 

[Myoclonic Jerk]

Looks like Kimi to Williams rumors getting stronger and stronger..

Planet-F1 actually confirms it on the basis of talks in the Paddock!

 

[Juicy Bob]

5 minutes into FP1 and there's a Red Flag because of a dog on the circuit.

Good job, India.

 

[TylerD]

Hmm, Speed sights and sounds is not working and BBC Radio 5 live sports has World Series instead of f1.

5 minutes into FP1 and there's a Red Flag because of a dog on the circuit.

Good job, India.

Where are you watching it?

edit NM found one

 

[RomanticHeroX]

So dirty, so smoggy, so ugly. Everything about this circuit looks like shit.

 

[AllenShrz]

So exited!

Due to work I live in Delhi and this is one of the most exiting things that has happened here since I live here.

And not only that, I'm invited to the after parties with the "crème de la crème" of India.


So cool.

 

[RomanticHeroX]

Unrelated to FP1, I just found these F1 posters and they're gorgeous.

 

[Juicy Bob]

Lewis Hamilton has what looks like Bob Marley on top of his helmet this weekend.

'No Woman, No Cry'

Good job, India.

If Germany can have people on the track, and the UK can have rabbits and naked people, India can have dogs.

Those are amazing. Hungary looks great, too bad the track is shite. Germany and Britain looks awesome too.

 

[Sleeplessnights]

Alonso has beyond given up on this season.

LOOK AT HOW SAD HE IS!

 

[Juicy Bob]

Please Sunhi, tell me you GIFd Alonso staring at the screen!

 

[SunhiLegend]

Only just woke up when Alonso stopped.

 

[Juicy Bob]

Sunhi you are a GOD.

SO exploitable...

 

[Sleeplessnights]

Chandhok testing his drifting skills.

 

[SunhiLegend]

 

[AllenShrz]

Only just woke up when Alonso stopped.

This one has incredible Photoshop potential.

 

[Sleeplessnights]

That was EXTREME flexing.

Love how Crofty expected Chandhok to be out as soon as he saw a car in the barriers.

Hell yes 1979 race on the red button WOOOO

 

[rithvikgv]

I must say that was quite fascinating watching the drivers learn a new circuit.

 

[Dilly]

That Alonso GIF is golden. :lol

Just so we're clear - you are joking, aren't you?

 

[Sleeplessnights]

Jenson Button and Mark Webber will this weekend lead the tributes to Dan Wheldon after the recent tragic death of their close friend. The pair have had helmet stickers made bearing Wheldon's logo, his initials in red, white and black, while Button revealed he will wear a black armband in Sunday's inaugural Indian Grand Prix.

"I sent Jenson a text after the race in Korea and I told him I wanted to get some stickers made up for our helmets," said Webber. "I asked him if he was keen and he said he was. It's a nice little sticker because we both knew him. It's only natural he is part of us a little this weekend."

[RomanticHeroX]

Alonso is wearing a tribute to Wheldon and Simoncelli on his helmet.

 

[Shaneus]

Is that Nando watching himself on the screen? That's fucking AWESOME.

So, any news from FP1?

Edit:

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/motorsport/formula_one/9625167.stm

Fucking awesome. Drivers with an extra motive to win beyond doing it for themselves/their team always get massive support from me. Hope they do him proud

 

[rithvikgv]

Perez and Hamilton slapped with three-place grid penalties for ignoring yellow flags in FP1.

 

[Shaneus]

Shit, bad luck for Hammy. Why would they ignore yellow flags in practice though?

 

[Goldrusher]

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/motorsport/formula_one/9625167.stm

You can see that sticker here:

Alonso went with a number 58:

Trulli changed his entire helmet:

Hamilton paid tribute to someone else:

 

[brotkasten]

Ferrari's chief designer Nikolas Tombazis concedes that his team will have to consider duplicating the innovations that have helped Red Bull sweep to the constructors' title three races before the end of the season. "You can't ignore your competitors: if Red Bull wins, you can't say 'I'll just mind my own business'," he said.

That's exactly what Alonso criticized the last time. Only copying the innovation of someone else won't cut it.

 

[Dilly]

Perez and Hamilton slapped with three-place grid penalties for ignoring yellow flags in FP1.

He must be enjoying that.

 

[RomanticHeroX]

Giving a penalty is too much but I'm not at all surprised by it. Setting fastest lap under a yellow is always going to draw attention.

Can't imagine that's doing any good for his motivation.

 

[SunhiLegend]

Holy shit just read Hamilton got a 3 place grid penalty for ignoring yellow flags.

 

[brotkasten]

Watching FP1 now and damn, those Indian's should upgrade the GPU. The draw distance on this track sucks really hard.
