I don't remember if I ever shared my pics from the Canada GP last year.

Great pictures! Cool to see all the action from other cars as well.

I'm always surprised when teams don't have the cars fully assembled by the beginning of Friday practice.

 

[Joseph Merrick]

man. can feel I am still pissed about superperez and superkk DQ.

hehe hrt exploding on first lap again. :-DD

 

[mclaren777]

This sucks!

 

[Leunam]

I'm with ya there brother. Let's hope they can repeat the same result through the season.

 

[Psychotext]

Aww.

 

[Joseph Merrick]

hehe. heidi locks and throws away the key

 

[Stop It]

Tyre management 101: Do not lock your brakes up like that.

According to the BBC it may be starting to rain. Usually that means we wont see a car again for the rest of P1 but because the weekend may be wet, we'll possibly see a rush of cars to see what the wet tyres actually do.

 

[mclaren777]

HRT's new front wing looks pretty good.

 

[RomanticHeroX]

It's still amazing to me to see the DRS in action. I'm not used to it yet, every time I see it I think there's damage on the rear wing.

Really? They can looked picked to the bone, but the team can probably assemble them faster than a driver takes to drive one lap. Seen how they hang around in the garrage half of the time, anyway, it seems reasonable to have the car apart and being able to change the setup. I'm guessing you're refering to the Sauber that looked like half a car? Hadn't it already done an installation lap?


Also, whatever happened to that poor HRT's engine? It looked like the left bank gave up while he was on his way out of the pits, then the right bank caved when he was 20 m past the pit lane. Poor engine.

You've gotta wonder if it was HRT or Cosworth's fault.

 

[Articate]

I'm gonna go on a limb and say HRT. Either someone dropped a ratched in there or they left the car to overheat or something like that. Not even in a race back in the engine-hungry days do I ever remember seeing first one bank, then the other give up in a car.

 

[AcridMeat]

In the F1 GAF Steam chat if anyone is interested. Just tuned in.

 

[Somtaaw]

Liuzzi can make to the race if hrt improves a little bit

 

[Joseph Merrick]

hehehe. nice petrov tire asplode

 

[AcridMeat]

Lotus Renault: UHH HI THERE PIRELLI HHHMMMmmmmmm

edit: GAF: ACRID U WRONG

Acrid: I WRONG! D:

Hope the Renault doesn't have a serious problem though. :/

 

[Chris R]

Hey look! The tire teathers worked for a change. Nice to see the stands packed with fans too.

 

[Articate]

Wow. Looked like the suspension just broke at braking. The tyre wasn't to blame. Algersuari last year, anyone?

EDIT: Right, Buemi.

 

[Joseph Merrick]

Lotus Renault: UHH HI THERE PIRELLI HHHMMMmmmmmm

same weakness as with the heidi tire lock earlier probably

Algersuari last year, anyone?

buemi

 

[Articate]

nevermind

 

[Joseph Merrick]

Both things looked to be Renault's fault, not the tyre. The tyre falling apart at a lockup (and it didn't) would rarely result in a complete wheel lock-up.

yeah. I wasn't blaming the tires.

 

[Articate]

yeah. I wasn't blaming the tires.

I got that after I posted it

 

[Joseph Merrick]

oh ok. didn't notice the edit.

 

[Joseph Merrick]

dambrosio with double left tire hehehe

 

[Articate]

Haha, ok. What's going on with the suspensions and tyres? Bizarre

 

[Joseph Merrick]

maybe we should start pointing at pirelli after all. hehe

 

[Joseph Merrick]

that one was almost exactly like buemi's double

 

[Articate]

Schumie on third is a good thing to go to bed from! G'night!

 

[AcridMeat]

P2 in two hours. Who's with me?!

 

[Joseph Merrick]

I'm with you of course. never miss a practice.

PRACTICE 2 BITCHES

 

[Chris R]

P2 in two hours. Who's with me?!

Only 10PM here YAY

 

[soujiro_seta]

Wooohhooooo Kobayashi is back!!

 

[Joseph Merrick]

superkk and superperez, 1 and 2. want this as race result


nice superlock for msch in the last turn.

 

[AcridMeat]

Damn it I forgot speed doesn't stream FP2. D:

 

[Shaneus]

How was Webber's run? I saw that he was top of the list, but no idea whether there's any significance to it.

 

[Templar Wizard]

try vipstand if you want the FP2 stream.

interesting session. Sauber looking SUPER SUMO AWESOME

 

[soujiro_seta]

Speed just showed Kimi doing some runs with his Toyota Truck Series something....

 

[Sew]

try vipstand if you want the FP2 stream.

Do you have a URL for that? Everything I'm finding seems highly suspect.

[Templar Wizard]

[Joseph Merrick]

[Dilly]

Ferrari looks bad.

 

[Pterion]

Damn, what a turn-around by Mclaren. Keep it up and the current thread title will have to change pretty quickly. Go Macca go!

 

[operon]

Ferrari looks no where atm, Red bull have it in the bag, good to see schumi up there in the times, Mclaren what a turn around

 

[navanman]

Vettel still has got loads of speed left to show.
McLaren & Red Bull look very evenly matched on pace in normal fuel conditions.

I suspect Mclaren has less tire wear...

 

[Zinga]

This years Ferrari is looking bad after so much promise, hopefully they can get this thing fighting for race wins by Europe because they will basically be relying on Alonso's talents alone for points/podiums right now....

 

[Foliorum Viridum]

I was fast asleep this morning sorry Acrid otherwise I woulda hopped into the chat.

Ferarri seem to have a tortoise in their engine. It makes me happy.
