If Redbull are really running their Silverstone spec with Vettel it should be interesting indeed since he's 3 secs off the pace

I'm trying to watch FP1 on the BBC Player thing I downloaded back at the Canadian GP and I'm getting the audio but weird flashing between the pictures. :(
 
From BBC Live Feed:

BBC pit-lane reporter Ted Kravitz : "Interesting to see Sebastian Vettel in 16th because Christian Horner confirmed to us yesterday that Red Bull will be running the Silverstone spec engine map, which does not give the exhaust blowing when the driver is off the throttle, in one of the Friday practice sessions. That could account for why he's down the timesheets but that's not confirmed. I'll look into it."

What's this BBC player thing? Is it as I think a BBC player hacked to ignore the ip check? In that case - link please!

That was so epic. Total trolling by McLaren there. I think I was one of the few who actually caught Hamilton getting by Glock (atleast a lot of the commentators didn't).

I remember watching it and shouting at the TV "THAT'S GLOCK! YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS".

Was a fantastic finale. I still feel so bad for the Ferrari boys for celebrating when they thought Massa had done it... but then I remembered I love every team bar them.

I went absolutely mental too. I watched it at my parents home back then and I remember them asking wtf I was screaming for haha.

Felt sorry for his dad when they all started celebrating... then came the crushing realisation.

That was so great. Seeing them all so happy with one guy shouting: "guys, no, no!" then that look of realization, you actually see their hearts breaking, the haters gonna hate cutback to the McLaren for trolling purposes and then the scene ends with a guy smashing the Ferrari logo's of the wall. That's shit you can't make up right there.

It's funny how many driver interviews have the title "*Driver* : Championship victory still possible". What are they going to say, "nah mate we are fucked! 60 points!".

For the briefest of moments Massa was the World Champion, that's until Glock slowed down due to the weather conditions and Hamilton regained the fifth position he needed to win the championship. All of this happened on the last lap.

The last lap.

That was amazing... thanks for posting! Highly doubt we'll never see anything that close again... though we were pretty close last year.

I just watched the FP1 highlights, looked like a fairly tame session.

Glad to see Webber performing well.
He did? Woo! Hope this is the performance slump that we've been looking for from Vettel.

I've stuck with Maldonado for the past 3 races on F1 Race Manager. He has the goods, he just needs to show them more often.

GOGOGO

Edit: I loooooove how the BBC Player volume control goes all the way up to 11. Very British. ;)

Shit, Webber smashed it that last lap he did. To get .002 within Vettel with the extra weight of his chin, he's done well.

How dare you mock Webber's chin.

I dare not mock the chin. It's modelled on the gods themselves, you know.

Hehe. My internet was down for a whole month there, I regret not being able to BITCHES throughout the previous three race weekends! Got a new mobilephone now, so much better chance of not being completely disconnected regardless of fried landlines.

This track must go from F1 calendar ASAP. Boring, totally flat...
We've been having some fun playing it on F1 2010 recently. It's quite a good track to drive on.

It's just going to depend on whether or not the DRS/Tyres will make the race eventful this weekend.
