o get out of here the back drop to that race will be amazing. It could only get better if they decide to make it a night race. But that would not work since it would be night here in europe.

"This morning was brakes, master cylinder; we changed everything on the brakes so the pedal was on the floor so we couldn't run this morning - or we did one lap but we knew we were in the s**t so we had to stop to give the guys a chance and as much time as possible to fix it before qualy," Webber said. "They fixed that, but then we had a hydraulic issue which was affecting the gearbox so we had to pit. They isolated it somehow but that then brought the DRS down so we knew the gearbox was going to be OK but we had no DRS. Obviously that's a pretty big hit around here - about 1.3 (seconds) I think."
Having a good backdrop doesn't mean the track will be good. I'd prefer the camera pointed at the track, not Manhattan![]()
Hopefully it means it will be figured out for tomorrow and he will be competitive.
And in F1RM related news... looks like my double-Lotus gamble has paid off for the time being! And NeoGAF is third in the subleague comp! Woo!
There's so much detail in this that you can't see from my crappy pictures so here is the link:
Damn, that's a nice model! Like it a lot. Little bit jellyJerk! I went Schumacher (ugh), Maldonado (wooo), Sauber (yeah for Koby!), Williams (come on Senna damn it) & Total (Yeah Heikki!).
I've screwed up F1RM a few times by forgetting to change and answer bonus questions & bets. I have forgot about ALL bets except this week.
By the way, thought you'd guys appreciate this:
Okay so I didn't buy this but this is what arrived at my front door a few days ago. It was a total surprise too!
I can't believe my friend got himself one & one for me out of the blue since this is one of our favourite cars.
I present to you the horrible pictures of a highly collectible #1621/2000 AutoArt 1991 Mazda 787B 20th Anniversary Edition:

Sorry I got carried away! It's just absolutely beautiful to see up close!
Hopefully it means it will be figured out for tomorrow and he will be competitive.
That Mazda model is amazing, try to get some better pics of yours. What scale is it?
Caterham will? Fucking AWESOME! I love that they're moving forward with their team so quickly, and you can actually see it. Within a few years, barring some kind of sale or takeover or what have you, I could see them being mid-top of the midfield (at the same rate of improvement as now). Having experienced drivers helps, too.Shaneus, I wish F1RM could let you have a "B-spec" team as I love fantasy leagues and playing "Manager." I'm pumped for Caterham tomorrow and for Silverstone. Apparently they have a "big" upgrade for Silverstone. I would love to see them nipping into Q2.[/i]
Way ahead of you on both countsBy the way Gents I plan on having a few prizes for the launch of my site - http://www.greaseandgears.com if you "Like" or follow me on Twitter- @greaseandgears So if you fancy a few chances at some cool prizes click the ads on my website () and follow/like me.
We need more of that. Everyone's too serious or come off like trying too hard to be personable (for some reason, I think of Vettel like that). But Twitter is somewhat forcing a lot of these guys to be a bit more fan-focused and fun rather than boring old racers. Shed a lot of light on Fernando only just recently, for example. Part of the reason I love following Webber, too. You'd think he'd be almost technophobic but he tweets all the time and always has a laugh on there. Shit, he even RT'd Sunhi's gif from when he won last year!Btw, did anyone else watch Koby's brief little interview with Lee McKenzie? He was going on about how his favourite thing are the Valencia Oranges and that if he makes the podium he'd want Orange juice to spray/drink hahaha. Such a funny/quirky guy.
The crucial question that will keep me awake or send me to sleep: Sky Sports or BBC?

Like I said before, Ferrari is finally doing better again and then comes Montezemolo around and they have their worst qualifying since Australia.Maybe this was mentioned earlier in the thread, but serious pressure on the Ferrari team with the President in the garage. I'm sure he's there to inspire the team but based on their performance, it's now pressure to perform.
Watching GP2 for the first time right now. Is there anything but SC?
It is, nice close racing.Been a good race!

What a race! Never thought I'd say that at Valencia!
Thanks to this post I watched about 15 laps, and probably the most exciting race that will take place at Valencia.Watching GP2 for the first time right now. Is there anything but SC?
I'm sadly not going to be able to watch the race live, so I'm not sure if I should get the result immediately or just sit through the race...
