I love the BBC coverage.

 

[Foliorum Viridum]

Haha Jake SPRINTING.

I wanted some slow-mo/dramatic music to go with that.

 

[Omiee]

qualy baby

 

[Goldrusher]

Such a beautiful city.

 

[Omiee]

that hotel is just pure sex, i need to go there some day.

it just needs a little bit more glamour, this and abhu dhabi are my favorite grapndprix's of the year.

 

[Goldrusher]

that hotel is just pure sex, i need to go there some day.

The one with that ship on top of it ? Which was turned into an asymmetrical mess because of nonsense feng shui beliefs ?

Would've been much nicer when that roof area had a "point" at both ends, like the architects intended. But feng shui experts insisted they'd build it like it exists today.

 

[Stop It]

Haha Jake SPRINTING.

Heh, I'm sure Youtube will oblige.

Anyway, Q1 and the usual 3 teams + a STR out, or maybe a Renault if their woes continue?

when you put it like that lol, i like the look of it.

footage of the helicopter going over it with pepople partying was pretty awesoem last year.


hamilton out this early?

 

[Juicy Bob]

Those marbles.

 

[Omiee]

Vettel half a second faster than button.
damn

 

[Goldrusher]

Brundle once again commenting as if he's already watching the final minutes.

 

[Stop It]

Vettel half a second faster than button.
damn

Ominous...

I love the chatter between DC and Brundle about the pronunciation of Vettel (And Coulthard for that matter). Vettel as in kettle indeed.

 

[Omiee]

It has to be said, vettel has it somewhat easy in his car. Hamilton and button could improve. But i think alonso is the only one really outperforming his car every weekend.


Anyhow i wondered about this following for years, why are the lower teams so slow compared to the middle of the grid. It cant be the engine right? So it has to be aero packages. So why cant they just copy it from other teams since they have all the footage every weekend of what other teams have running.

Some one from the bbc crew said the lower teams are about 5 or 6 seconds slower a lap than the top teams, that way to much imo.

 

[SunhiLegend]

 

[slothmeister]

lol LUDA!!

 

[Omiee]

He just cant get that corner right.

 

[SunhiLegend]

 

[Wax Free Vanilla]

cowpats of metal, lol

 

[Betta Lines]

Ludacris indahouse

 

[Omiee]

Can we get a gif of that shot of the team working on hamilton's car. That looked pretty nice.

 

[Wax Free Vanilla]

senna dumps petrov

 

[Omiee]

That was close for shumi, and wtf at petrov.
horrible qualy.

 

[Stop It]

Well, the usual 3 teams gone and Petrov. As expected, the Renaults really are having a torrid time here. I expect the Williams, STR and Sauber to follow and the Force India to continue their good form and make it to Q3 I reckon.

i dunno, sauber looks pretty good on the SS here

 

[Mobius 1]

Wishing the Renault holds up long enough to get Bruno on the top 10.

 

[SunhiLegend]

 

[DrM]

Renault is abysmal this season. Maybe Force India and Sauber can jump them in constructors - tough call, but it is possible.

 

[Omiee]

i dunno, sauber looks pretty good on the SS here

yeah perez had a pretty good lap on the SS.

love them. I was about to ask a gif of vettel lol.

 

[brotkasten]

The Ferrari front wing looks like a mess.

 

[nny]

bah, my stream died.

 

[Omiee]

Yeah its all about mclaren and RBR, what a fight between these 2 teams.

damn vettel beats button again with half a second.


koba nooo!!

Almost took off.

 

[Dilly]

Such a shit turn, F1 unworthy.

 

[brotkasten]

Damn, Koba.

 

[Mobius 1]

Koba stuffed it after the stupid bumpy chicane

 

[Stop It]

Oops. Kobayashi flicked off that...chicane bollocks, flew and went straight into the wall. Red Flag.

Vettel is so epic, everyone else may as well not even bother.

 

[DrM]

And liftoff!

 

[Sleeplessnights]

Koba out, incredibly disappointing.

 

[Juicy Bob]

I used to like that Chicane.

Now I fucking hate it.

 

[SunhiLegend]

 

[Foliorum Viridum]

He launched, haha.

 

[Sleeplessnights]

His front left was off the ground before he hit the first chicane.

 

[Dead Man]

Ugly fucking chicane to go with the ugly fucking concept of the race being scheduled for a TV audience, beautiful gifs though.

 

[Omiee]

That must have hurt.

 

[Adamm]

Kobayashi loves flying off that curb!

 

[Frawdder]

Terrible chicane but it does produce some great footage.

 

[Wax Free Vanilla]

Yeah its all about mclaren and RBR, what a fight between these 2 teams.

there will be no fight, the red bull is in a league of its own and only webber fucking up again will lead to a mclaren being 2nd on the grid.

 

[Omiee]

there will be no fight, the red bull is in a league of its own and only webber fucking up again will lead to a mclaren being 2nd on the grid.

There will def be a fight for pole in Q3.
Also the race should be a lot more exciting than last year, if its raining its going to be even more fun to watch

 

[brotkasten]

That's disappointing.

 

[DrM]

What a luck for Hamilton

But i dunno about replacement tire - IIRC they can get new set if foreign object caused the puncture

 

[Mobius 1]

Bah
