Brundle not holding back on his HRT criticism and even the quiet Coulthard joins in with his piece too.

 

[Mobius 1]

Schumacher still a pimp.

I think the teams will let HRT race tomorrow out of good will since it's the opening GP, but they're just pitful.

 

[Dilly]

HRT actually managed to suck even more than last season.

 

[Dead Man]

Rubens

 

[Shaneus]

Barichello out!

Vettel going out on softs... *grabs popcorn*

 

[navanman]

Rubens NOOOOOO!!!

 

[Mobius 1]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Fuck Brazilians are cursed.

 

[Stop It]

Barrichello fails at driving, spins off at Turn 3.

Anyway, RBR going out on softs, as do Ferrari. All of the cars out on track have basically had their laps ruined.

 

[Lach]

Barichello out...bad luck.

I'm a bit bummed, that BBC HD doesn't show F1 in my area. Swiss TV will be showing the race (not the Qualifying) on their HD Channel but I can't stand their commentator.

 

[mclaren777]

Poo!

Massa was so close to being knocked out.

You teasin'?

 

[Shaneus]

1:24 flat from Vettel. Yikes.

 

[Lach]

Damn I forgot to participate. Wouldn't have looked too bad betting on Sauber.

 

[Dead Man]

heh looking at f1racemanager, most went with ToroRosso. atta boys

split my bets between FI and STR on chassis and engine should have dropped it all on STR.

Sutil Good recovery though

 

[navanman]

Vettel is just scary fast. He is looking Senna qualifying fast so far.

 

[Mobius 1]

heh looking at f1racemanager, most went with ToroRosso. atta boys

I forgot to put in my bets on time... again.

Nice recovery!

 

[Frawdder]

Sutil!

Wow! Lucky he didn't hit the wall!

 

[S. L.]

split my bets between FI and TR on chassis and engine should have dropped it all on TR.

FI didn't look too strong pre season, at least compared to STR


SUTIL LIKE A PIMP

 

[mil6es]

hammy doing me proud

 

[Dead Man]

Kobay beasting!!!

 

[Mobius 1]

Kobayashi 6th, superb!

Now let's see Schumacher's desperation lap.

 

[S. L.]

Strong Sauber makes me happy

 

[Dead Man]

FI didn't look too strong pre season, at least compared to STR

Neither did McL, took a punt, it didnt pay off. Oh well.

 

[Aegus]

Forgot to change my f1 manager to TR.

Kobayashi doing awesome.

 

[AcridMeat]

Sutil Good recovery though

I did the same, d'oh.

 

[S. L.]

Neither did McL, took a punt, it didnt pay off. Oh well.

yeah, but last season their trend was downwards, STR was upwards.
gotta feel current

 

[Stop It]

Kobayashi 6th, superb!

Now let's see Schumacher's desperation lap.

11th, so not desperate enough.

So RBR fast, McLaren the 2nd team and Ferrari struggling a bit? Where the hell did Kobayashi's pace come from though? Best monet of Q2 was Sutil managing to correct a spin using that DRS too quickly on the pit straight.

 

[navanman]

Looks like its Vettel has this win in the bag with Webber, Button & Hamilton fighting for the other podium spots.

Lets hope for some reliability from our fantasy teams. If Toro Rosso crash or blow up, half of us will be wiped out!

One observation that that Brundle made which is great for RBR and bad for everyone else, is that these Pirelli tyres don't put down any rubber on track especially on corner entry & exit leading to extra grip.

If your car has loads of mechanical and aero grip like RBR its cool but if your like the other teams your not going to get faster through the weekend like we used to see.

I'm too old to stay current

 

[jey_16]

I completely forgot about race manager

 

[S. L.]

feel the current*
-_-

Indeed. They had a good pre-season and 10th and 12th is certainly a good result from Q2. Buemi is pretty much assured of 10th in Q3 but who knows, someone may crash out!

Well, it's the RBR party it seems. I expected Webber to egt pole but if I'm honest, can anyone touch Vettel?

I'm hoping he's ultra-harsh on his softs and has to pit one more extra time than Webs.

Just saw a brief interview with Rubens... poor bastard

too old for that to

Q3, here we go.

 

[Dead Man]

1.23!!!!!

 

[Aegus]

Jesus at the Vettel time /bow

 

[navanman]

Vettel is holy crap fast. He is faster than last years time in car with worse tyres and no DD diffuser.

This could be making of a new era in F1 domination.

 

[S. L.]

eat your silly hats australians!

 

[megateto]

1.23!!!!!

He's on another league. Amazing!!!

 

[AcridMeat]

Rule change for 2012, ban Newey.

 

[Dead Man]

No hometown win for Webber Vettel is too fast.

 

[Mobius 1]

MASSA WHAT THE FUCK

 

[Wax Free Vanilla]

the bbc commentary combo is much better this year.



good to see the macs recover from their testing shitness. lol, massa.

 

[Frawdder]

Massa....

LOL!

 

[navanman]

Rule change for 2012, ban Newey.

Ferrari tried to hire Newey this year. They need him.

 

[Shaneus]

Fuck. Hammy second :/

 

[mil6es]

HAMMY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Mobius 1]

Lewis for 2nd, Webber already looking sullen.
