Tim o'Glock will stay at Virgin until the end of 2014 season.

Question - what kind of cooperation will Virgin have with Mclaren? Force India like?

That was the talk a few weeks ago. Basically Virgin may switch to Mercedes power for next year and have technical backing from McLaren in the same fashion as Force India.

That said, it's strange of Glock to sign up for the next 3 years after having a right moan yesterday. He's just gone on the BBC calling it a joke, but I'm not sure.

Anyway, it's potentially soggy again, yey for the weather gods! I hope it properly rains during the race, because it's not too bad at the moment.

 

[Omiee]

haha that was a nice trick

 

[Dilly]

Haha, Fernando's trick.

I'm tuned into the BBC broadcast from Norway - was lurking here when someone posted the player that made that doable. Just gotta say I am REALLY loving watching the BBC broadcast. SO much better than the Norwegian one. Huge thanks for enabling that, to whoever posted the BBC Player.

It is a bit tricky to keep the HD broadcast on the TV in sync with the audio from the BBC Player, but it's totally worth it.

EDIT: I really like the trick Alonso did. (youtube link)

 

[ClassyPenguin]

anyone have a good stream link?

 

[Dilly]

Haha, that first turn in 2007 was hilarious.

 

[Edmond Dantès]

The race in 2007 was chaotic.

 

[Wax Free Vanilla]

shit setup, and he aborted his final run.

 

[Salacious Crumb]

What's that UFO I keep hearing?

 

[zomgbbqftw]

Few spots of rain, it begins...

 

[Dilly]

What's that UFO I keep hearing?

I think it's a warning system for when a car is in the pitlane.

Not sure though.

 

[Omiee]

horrible spot for the podium btw.

 

[Sloane]

Few spots of rain, it begins...

I don't know, weather doesn't look too bad around here. We'll see, maybe slight rain. Hope for more though.

 

[Stop It]

What's that UFO I keep hearing?

It means the apocalypse is coming. Either that or it's a car approaching signal, not sure.

Anyway, it may rain, the cards are about to be thrown in the air, and we're in for a lot of fun. Come join the action in the F1 GAF chat: http://steamcommunity.com/groups/F1GAF

I hope Chandhok has a good race. He's a really good analyst when he's on 5live.

That't the radar picture, 15 mins or so and it will come.

I hope Chandhok has a good race. He's a really good analyst when he's on 5live.

Yeah, he clearly knows his stuff but being thrust into a car, even a fast one (Ask Luca Badoer!) usually means trouble.

As long as Chandhok stays out of trouble and has a uneventful race I think Lotus will be more than happy.

If it rains first thing to happen will be hamilton trying to drive like a boat and hit someone, again.

 

[Omiee]

so raining. Vettel and hamilton are the best in the rain right?
will be interesting to see how shumi will do

 

[Gareth Bale]

If it rains first thing to happen will be hamilton trying to drive like a boat and hit someone, again.

He's definitely one of the better drivers in these conditions

 

[zomgbbqftw]

Awesome side by side lap comparison from the BBC!

 

[navanman]

Cold and drizzling. All on slicks.

Carnage in the first corner IMO.

 

[Ark]

Hell yes!

 

[jambo]

Cmon Webber, you can do it!

 

[Stop It]

Yep, Webber quick in S2 but Hamilton is by no means slow so he will need to be watched.

Not enough rain as it stands but you never know what the weather may bring us. Should make for an interesting first few laps.

 

[CurlySaysX]

Kobayashi gonna drift to 1st place by the end of the first corner.
Webber accidently hit neutral.

 

[Omiee]

the start will be amazing, but man ron dennis is one angry guy

 

[Gareth Bale]

Expecting Fernando to jump Vettel at the start.

 

[Edmond Dantès]

Go, go, go!

 

[Edmond Dantès]

Vettel with a poor start.

 

[Kyaw]

Webber loses first place after first corner! I was right

 

[ANDY_098]

Sucks for Vettel.

 

[navanman]

YES YES YES

Great defense from Alonso.

 

[Omiee]

[zomgbbqftw]

[jambo]

F1 needs rolling starts so Webber can keep his place -__-

 

[Ark]

WOOOO.

Go everyone!

 

[kharma45]

Lewis to bottle it

[Gareth Bale]

Yep.

 

[Nolan.]

Haha it's like Lewis was just ready and Mark was napping again

 

[Omiee]

[Wes]

[Cerebral Assassin]

[navanman]

[ANDY_098]
