It's a really good documentary if you haven't watched it already.

He's an awesome guy and as far as I can remember, he out performed Senna in the HRT too. Heck, even Klien outperformed Senna :lol

Only at Eau Rouge, DRS will most probably be on the Kemmel, no doubt about it. Which should make Le Combes even more interesting than it usually is.

DRS through Eau Rouge would simply be suicide, it was crazy enough last year when people were using the F-Duct.

Ah, stupid mistake. I don't know corner/straight names AT ALL and thought it was some other name for Spa.

Nice map! Shame about there not being a zone on the back, because the bus stop chicane would be the prime passing location I feel.

chandhok should be no where near an f1 car, he's an awful driver, and senna was easily the faster driver at hrt when paired together, he also destroyed karun in gp2 when they both drove for isport.

go senna!

Right, that's why Chandhok out scored Senna at every single race bar one that they competed at? Infact, Chandhok finished higher than Senna overall for 2010 even though he missed half a season!

Kimi Raikkonen completes Peugeot 908 test

2007 Formula 1 world champion Kimi Raikkonen completed his maiden test in Peugeot's 908 Le Mans challenger at Motorland Aragon.

The Finn drove alongside Peugeot works drivers Franck Montagny, Stephane Sarrazin, Simon Pagenaud and Alexander Wurz, covering 35 laps during the day.

As revealed by AUTOSPORT Raikkonen is understood to be keen to return to racing, with a fully-paid rally drive unlikely for next year. The test could lead to a possible outing with Peugeot in next year's Le Mans 24 Hours.

The 31-year-old, who told Finalnd's Turun Sanomat that racing at Le Mans would be 'great', summarised the experience: "I enjoyed this test with Peugeot. The 908 is a really fun car to drive."

Peugeot Sport team manager Pascal Dimitri said the test had proved interesting, with Raikkonen offering valuable feedback on his first test.

"Kimi adapted very quickly to the car," Dimitri said, "and gave us a valuable technical feedback. It is always interesting to get inputs from drivers such as Kimi."

Peugeot's sport director Olivier Quesnel said the test had been planned 'for a long time' and that no decisions have been taken for the future.

"Originally, this test session was planned for a long time in order to prepare the rest of the season, on top of which we have allowed Kimi to discover the 908.

"As of today, nothing has been scheduled or planned for the future."

If Kimi makes it into the Peugeot team I hope he's in separate cars to Bourdais and Davidson. Would be nice to see all 3 out on track (providing no one totals the car) in the same car.

Still an Audi man at heart though.

McLaren going on about updates and their usual PR stuff. Prepare for imminent failure.

I don't know if the question about D.C.'s demo car got answered but The F1 showcar used for the Austin demonstration was a 2005 car fitted with a V10 engine F.Y.I.

Soooooo pumped!

Yeah I agree there. He never complains and seems to always be positive. Maybe Vijay can help him out somehow?

Also, Antony Davidson is a good guy.

Davidson lost a lot of my respect after his Le Mans shenanigans with the Corvette last year. But I've forgiven him now T_T

Vijay doesn't want anything to do with Chandhok, he's already called him a pussy!

not hard when senna suffered terrible car reliability.

7-2 in qualifying, senna is the faster and better driver, this is indisputable.

is senna doing the rest of the season? i wonder where he would be today if he didn't get shafted out of that 09 honda/brawn drive :(

Vettel had horrendous car reliability last year, yet he still won the championship. I'm sorry, but Senna was even out done by Klien. KLIEN.

He wasn't shafted out of the Brawn drive, I doubt he would have out performed Reubens and Jenson anyway.

What, Senna completely outclassed Chandok.

In any case, it will be nice to see him in an actual F1 car this weekend.

A bit off topic but,
if you guys have nothing better to do in your free time between the race weekends get Grand Prix Story for Android.
iphone port will come later i think.
https://market.android.com/details?id=net.kairosoft.android.paddock_en&hl=en

if you have played gamedev story you know what to expect ;)
it's a management sim game where you have to manage your racing team, hire and fire staff, manage sponsors, develop your car, races, etc.
loads of fun, also hardware wise it isn't overly demanding so it will work fine on older phones.

Spent quite some time with this game. Just as addictiv as Game Dev Story. Have yet to try Onsen Story though.

[edit] To not derail the thread alltogehter. I'm really excited about the weekend and I hope Sauber will be able to score some points!

Guys, I'm an atheist, but sometimes I wonder if Webber is God.

I watched the 2010 review last night and even when people were crashing into him, he still ended his radio messages with "mate."
