Do we still need rain?

 

[Ark]

Who has made Button such a overtaking beast this year? Straight round the outside of Massa on the chicane there.

Button seems to have really settled into the team for this year and appears to be far more comfortable with the car.

Ted's just jinxed Button. Dammit Ted

 

[Momo]

To quote the ever "loved" Jonathan Legard, Button is 'on the charge!'

Murray Walker : "Do my eyes deceive me, or is Senna's Lotus sounding rough ?"

 

[Omiee]

i got the same feeling in canada and hungary, button might win.

 

[anonnumber6]

Webber is looking good in that respect since he has done the hard tyre stint already.

If Alonso and Vettel make it to lap 30 on options they will have a very short stint son the prime tyre. Very difficult race to call.

 

[Chris R]

Do we still need rain?

Need? No, but since this is Spa it wouldn't hurt. Almost tradition as it were.

 

[Momo]

Do we still need rain?

Rain you say?

Murray: There's a fiery glow coming from the back of the Ferrari
James: No Murray, that's his rear safety light

 

[Milchjon]

I still don't get DRS. It seems to go against every rule of racing.

Rain you say?

Murray: There's a fiery glow coming from the back of the Ferrari
James: No Murray, that's his rear safety light

lol, keep these coming

 

[olore]

Jenson is flying the McLaren colors well

 

[DrM]

Harder tyre is working very well with Webber

 

[Sleeplessnights]

Brilliant stuff xD

IMO they should revert to the pre schumacher ruleset. Every rule they have changed for the sake of "entertainment" is pretty much bullshit.

 

[zomgbbqftw]

Button took 1s out of Webber!

 

[Omiee]

alonso in.

he goes for the medium.

KERS is fine but I am not a fan of DRS. Overtaking feels very contrived with it.

Alonso going to the end then.

 

[Momo]

Jenson is flying the McLaren colors well

Murray : "So Bernie, in the seventeen years since you bought McLaren, which of your many achievements do you think was the most memorable ?"
Bernie : "Well I don't remember buying McLaren."

 

[Ark]

Button took 1s out of Webber!

Awwww you sneaky bastard.

Almost got in before the stealth edit.

 

[PdotMichael]

I say Vettel or Button will win the race.

 

[Omiee]

Murray : "So Bernie [Ecclestone], in the seventeen years since you bought McLaren, which of your many achievements do you think was the most memorable ?"

hahaha, ah man these are funny.
keep them coming.

 

[anonnumber6]

Do not count out Webber, he can go on the option tyres on his next stop.

 

[Momo]

Murray : "I can't imagine what kind of problem Senna has. I imagine it must be some sort of grip problem"

 

[zomgbbqftw]

Alonso on hards, probably going to the end of the race now, so he could definitely be in for a shout.

Vettel in for hards as well. Comes out behind Button.

 

[Dead Man]

Webber and Button 1 2 Go on!!

I still don't get DRS. It seems to go against every rule of racing.

Indeed.

 

[Omiee]

Murray : "I can't imagine what kind of problem Senna has. I imagine it must be some sort of grip problem"

man why did i just discover watching f1 on the bbc and enlish channels.
i missed all of this since iv been watching f1 on rtl in holland.

 

[Shaneus]

Can Button win or at least beat RBR??
He has used the slower medium tyre.

So did Webber.

 

[Omiee]

Lol alonso's team radio is always funny as hell.

vettel to overtake button

 

[PdotMichael]

VETTEL!

 

[Edmond Dantès]

[zomgbbqftw]

Button has to come in now for softs.

 

[Wax Free Vanilla]

button needs to pit.

webber back on the hard tyre, button on softs.


looks like it's a race for 3rd

 

[Dead Man]

DRS is so powerful even Vettel can pass

 

[Omiee]

vettel and alonso flying, it will be between these two guys.

 

[Momo]

I was not yet a teen when I started watching, me and my father used to be glued to the set with only Murray Walker breaking the silence as we started laughing at some of his color commentary. Good times xD

 

[olore]

KERS is fine but I am not a fan of DRS. Overtaking feels very contrived with it.

Yes, when under one second of the car in front an overtake is basically a sure thing. It has devalued the overtake for more action. It does feel slightly synthetic, but all in all it is a good thing for the show

 

[zomgbbqftw]

Yup, he comes in for softs. This will be interesting, only one of the top four with softs on. Rest on hards.

Ah man it sucks that i missed all of that, i watched his preview thing on the bbc the guy seems to be a legend to F1.
Im bumped i missed that, but coulthard and brundel are nice as well.


webber might win!!
he is flying and the lead is only 12 seconds.

Here's another good one;

Murrary: "What's that? There's a BODY on the track!!!" James: "Um, I think that that is a piece of BODY-WORK, from someone's car."

 

[navanman]

vettel has too much of a lead now.

 

[Salacious Crumb]

49.8, Webber is going for Alonso.

 

[Edmond Dantès]

lol, is there a site for these quotes or something lol.

webber two seconds woow.

[zomgbbqftw]

On the hards though, I think Button will come into it at around lap 40.

Don't be mistaken, Brundle and Coulthard are the best commentary team F1 has ever had, Murray was special for his enthusiasm and his off color comments, it was just something extra special.

[PdotMichael]

[anonnumber6]

Webber 9 tenths up on Alonso in the middle sector

edit: As is Button

Prior to drs the overtake was hardly a sure thing.
