I love the Tooned series. Just got caught up last night.




I really like that chicane.

So do I

 

[Chris R]

Take the chicane out! The road is curved there naturally so the cars would be flat out or close to it. They could tighten up the next corner if they wanted to.

I think its a nice challenge, drivers have to be careful how to attack it every single lap

 

[Pimpwerx]

Singapore is home to the most Mickey Mouse chicane on the calendar. It's not clever, does nothing to help overtaking and ruins what would otherwise be a decent city course. In any case, F1 would be better off if they dropped all city circuits. Yes, that would include Monaco. Overtaking is bad enough as is. I do not enjoy the sights of cars buzzing around armco, at the expense of on-track action. PEACE.

Just think... if this weekend was anything like the officially licensed F1 2012 game by Codemasters™, we wouldn't have even seen the cars on the track yet.

Shshshush, it's okay.

Looks like the Hamilton contract situation is nearly a done deal.

Both Eddie Jordan and Martin Brundle have said this morning that a deal will be announced on Wednesday.

 

[Foliorum Viridum]

As wrong of a move for him as I think this will be it does make next year interesting.

Seat free at McLaren, Massa surely being kicked out for being utterly useless...

So...Massa to McLaren?

 

[Foliorum Viridum]

Button always did fancy a human coffee table for between the sessions...

I could see Massa getting a seat at somewhere like Sauber or Force India maybe if one of those boys move up, but honestly at this point I hope he gets kicked out of the sport entirely so someone new can have a chance.

 

[Dilly]

Nah, I think Sauber is going to stick with good young drivers. Massa is neither.

 

[Shaneus]

Would an announcement indicate he's moving next season, or the season after?

Honestly, I think it's a real dick move by Hamilton. Way to treat the team that's been behind you your entire racing career.

 

[navanman]

I still reckon he will stay with McLaren after getting better deal but still a pay-cut.

The key for the driver musical chairs is Schumacher.

 

[Adam Scott Aukerman]

Both Eddie Jordan and Martin Brundle have said this morning that a deal will be announced on Wednesday.

Are you referring to what EJ said on Inside F1? As iirc, he was specifically referring to Schumacher at the time, so it might not even matter where XIX/Merc/McLaren are in negotiations if Schumacher is about to decide to continue with Merc next year.

 

[Adamm]

FP3 time!

 

[Dilly]

Alonso's leg 45 minutes after a Free Practice session.

Looks...unhealthy.

 

[navanman]

New front wing for RBR this morning.

Perez kisses the barrier with his front left.

 

[Adamm]

Is pratice during the day not a bit odd? Why don't they wait until it gets dark?

 

[neoanarch]

Is pratice during the day not a bit odd? Why don't they wait until it gets dark?

They need to leave enough time for qualy.

 

[Adam Scott Aukerman]

Is pratice during the day not a bit odd? Why don't they wait until it gets dark?

Because Qualy is scheduled for European time.

 

[Myoclonic Jerk]

Have you guys heard GLock?

The car was stuck at Full throttle ................ De Villota?

 

[Adamm]

They need to leave enough time for qualy.

Because Qualy is scheduled for European time.

But they could move it back an hour. The race will go on to about 10pm local time, why can't qualifying?

 

[navanman]

Vettel looking good for pole IMO.

 

[Adamm]

Webber hitting the wall a bit too hard

 

[navanman]

Puncture and maybe suspension damage too.

 

[Adam Scott Aukerman]

But they could move it back an hour. The race will go on to about 10pm local time, why can't qualifying?

Because there's stuff going on after qualifying.

 

[brotkasten]

It really looks like Vettel got this.

 

[Adamm]

Ah right OK

Red flag! Petrov...you idiot

 

[navanman]

Guaranteed to be at least one safety car tomorrow.

 

[brotkasten]

Ah right OK

Red flag! Petrov...you idiot

That was really funny, even Alguersuari laughed.

Takes the corner, hits the wall, opens DRS while catching the car, hits the wall again.

 

[Ark]

It really looks like Vettel got this.

I really hope not, all Vettel-winning races are boring races. Fact.

 

[brotkasten]

I really hope not, all Vettel-winning races are boring races. Fact.

I skimmed through last years thread to find the chicane gifts and found an appropriate post. It was something g like "what a boring race for everyone who isn't Vettel". Buy I think that was before the Massa-Hamilton drama.

 

[Diablohead]

night racing in the rain? don't think i've seen such a thing in F1 yet.

 

[Dilly]

BBC's intro's are so amazing. The visuals, music, ideas and vibe are great.

Sky are amateurs in comparison.

oh shit it's on bbc? was about to go throw myself in the main room for sky coverage.

Dodged a bullet.

 

[Xun]

A guy I know will be going to the McLaren Headquarters since he's working on Tooned.

The lucky bugger.

 

[Adamm]

There hasn't been such a thing in F1 yet

That's why every year we all get excited when the forecast predicts rain

 

[Dilly]

Petrov's crash. :lol

-edit

Well, this thread is dead.

Yeah, it's crazy how we went to OT2 in such a short time and now this is barely going.

Moved to community

Eddie Jordan says Wednesday is the day we will find out about moves in the driver market.

 

[Dilly]

Chilton forgot about the money his dad has when talking about why he's a reserve driver.

 

[SunhiLegend]

Yeah, it's crazy how we went to OT2 in such a short time and now this is barely going.

Probably because we've been moved to community, not many new posters during the race or quali sessions.

 

[brotkasten]

Chilton forgot about the money his dad has when talking about why he's a reserve driver.

That's exactly what they're talking about right now. I doubt we would've seen an interview like that at Sky.

 

[Goldrusher]

[Diablohead]

I would post more but it's not race day yet!

[Dilly]

I want to go to a Singapore GP.

Was it PdR's "impassioned" piece to camera?

Webber the astronomist. :lol

LOL, classic shot of Mark.
