Webber isn't known for great starts an he'll be on the dirty side of the track. I wouldn't be at all surprised if he gets knocked down to 5-6 in turn one.

Unless he royally fucks up the start like he did at spa I don't see that happening, the run to turn 1 is only about 150m. I think it's 90% likely that Rosberg will jump him at the start though.

Been watching GP3 race and it seems like they sweeped start-finish line before the race. It was no as dirty as yesterday.

Just finished watching the Capeta anime.

Why sad?

Limited in-season testing on the cards for next season.

[bloodforge]

Needs to happen. As it stands without testing most of the back field will never be competitive.

Does anyone in Japan know if I can get this on the AU pay TV box? My fiance has it and I don't know if she'll let me go down to the pub to watch it lol.

It's a good thing he wants to do the sessions at non-F1 race tracks...

Should be interesting. Now make sure the sessions are public and we are good to go

Portimao, Jerez and Paul Ricard seem the likeliest tracks.

'Round four Turkey' I love the openings that the BBC does

 

[Dilly]

GODDAMN BBC IS AWESOME.

So Bernie saying he doesn't see why they need testing...

Anybody know a good stream?

Poor Vettel. lol

 

[f0rk]

God damn Germans.

 

[Stop It]

So, the run to the first corner is short, will that be an advantage for the KERS cars from say Alonso down as they'll be able to use it more? Either way, I think there will be a bit of a traffic jam at turn 1 and my bet of Vettel out 1st will either come good, or be dashed.

So, unless if there is any drama at the start, RBR should romp it. The Ferrari/McLaren/Mercedes battle looks to be the one to watch. Mercedes have the advantage of a new set of soft tyres, and they're good on them too, but the likes of Hamilton and Alonso wont let that stop them.

Anyway, for some interesting chat during the race, come along to the F1 GAF chat. We're friendly, honest! http://steamcommunity.com/groups/F1GAF

Brundle's gridwalk remains the best element out of the pre-race show.
Watching Brundle battle it out with german tv-crews never gets boring.

Brilliant analysis on the BBC coverage right now.

Kobayashi will be in front of his team mate by the end of the first lap.

 

[navanman]

Hamilton

 

[Shaneus]

Webber did well on the dirty side. Very lucky with Hammy on his tail, too.

 

[Edmond Dantès]

Great start from Nico.

 

[S. L.]

Webber got lucky there

 

[Goldrusher]

lol Schumacher

 

[kharma45]

Oh Schumi...

 

[navanman]

Petrov you idiot!

 

[S. L.]

that was some weird move from petrov

 

[Aegus]

Petrov you idiot!

What? Petrov had him.

 

[Edmond Dantès]

Michael‘s fault.

 

[Dead Man]

Why did the director cut then?>!>?

 

[S. L.]

Webber should DRS the shit out of Rosberg, the RBR DRS mode is godly

 

[Edmond Dantès]

Got him.

 

[Frawdder]

Webber just drives right around Britney like he was standing still, wow.

 

[Juicy Bob]

Go on Mark, get after him now!

 

[Dead Man]

Apparently so.

 

[AcridMeat]

We all know Webber uses JAW on top of DRS.

 

[Edmond Dantès]

Wow.

 

[mclem]

Impressive formation driving, there.
