That's why the ignore button is the best bro. Join us!

I'm very tempted to use it myself, would be the first poster I've ever ignored on GAF.

 

[navanman]

This new feature again, interviews on the podium.

 

[Adamm]

Guess this is the new thing, interview on podium

 

[Dilly]

I love the vintage interview on podium format.

I'm very tempted to use it myself, would be the first poster I've ever ignored on GAF.

It makes the thread better.

 

[Shaneus]

Oh, Lauda doing the post-race. So it's a "legend" each time.

 

[pants]

Woohoo! good going Aronso Kimari! Good race Kimi, Perez and Koba <3

 

[criesofthepast]

They should do these podium interviews every race

 

[JehutyRunner]

Wait, they're doing interviews on the podium now?

 

[Omiee]

This new feature again, interviews on the podium.

I'm liking it so far. I hope they continue doing it.

 

[Shaneus]

At least three hours. Official result is due out at 6pm, I believe.

Okay. So no point in me staying awake then! Guess I might sign off for the night then.

Ciao, boys.

 

[Omiee]

Hahaha lauda with the question we all wanted him to ask.

Man whats up with all the hate on me? I know my opinion is not the most popular and the way i bring it is not always the best but its ridiculous how we cant just keep a discussion like that. I dont think anyone used the ignore button in the NBA thread and its much worse there with all the trolling etc.

I could stop posting if it makes it easier for some of you.

 

[Jinjo]

Are you watching RTL. man i stopped watching that since 2009 i think.

BBC coverage is much better even SKY coverage is better than RTL.

Its a shame the reasonable posters only come here during race weekens. Leaving us with ...

Alonso just knows he has it this year.

RTL is shit, but there's nothing else. BBC is not showing every weekend, can't receive Sky. Then there's the german coverage...

Podium interviews have the potential to be amazing here.

 

[nny]

oh oh oh, hard questions

 

[TCRS]

Guess this is the new thing, interview on podium

Hmm... no like.

 

[criesofthepast]

Button is so class.

 

[kharma45]

It makes the thread better.

And done.

It's a pity it still shows me he has posted, I was hoping his posts would be gone altogether and it would be like they never existed.

 

[Risgroo]

I like these interviews, not as dull as the usual stuff.

 

[Omiee]

Just PM me before all races.

If you have a laptop you'll be fine.

 

[Deadman]

Its quite funny how people called this the best season ever yet both titles are all but over after 10 races.

I think vettel will get a penalty.

 

[Dilly]

And done.

It's a pity it still shows me he has posted, I was hoping his posts would be gone altogether and it would be like they never existed.

You get used to it. It's quite hilarious to see a rage outburst because of a post you didn't see actually.

 

[navanman]

From the overhead replay on Sky, he has to get a time penalty, probably just 5 seconds to reverse the order.

 

[Nevasleep]

A few words......:lol

 

[Shaneus]

Hm. Watching that post-race replay, definite penalty. If he stuck to the track, he wouldn't have been able to make it stick.

Anyway. Definitely out now, boys.

 

[Fantomex]

And done.

It's a pity it still shows me he has posted, I was hoping his posts would be gone altogether and it would be like they never existed.

I agree, it would be great if the implemented the quotes being ignored also.

 

[SunhiLegend]

 

[kharma45]

You're right though, so much better now <3 Should've done this last year.

I agree, it would be great if the implemented the quotes being ignored also.

Yeah ideally that's the way it should be, if you want to go to the effort to ignore a poster it shouldn't let you see any quotes involving them or even that they have posted in the thread.

They're being ignored for a reason.

 

[jey_16]

I hate these new interviews

 

[Dilly]

Putting Vettel back one place would be understandable, giving him a 25s penalty would be too much.

 

[Omiee]

Spanish driver in Italian car designed by a Greek wins the German Grand Prix. Discuss

lol.

Dilly going on a witch hunt. Real mature buddy

Really mature by everyone who used the ignore button . Might have to go back to the NBA thread. At least they keep the discussion ongoing even though not everyone's opinion is popular there.

 

[smiggyRT]

Whitmarsh says decision in half an hour.

 

[pants]

From the overhead replay on Sky, he has to get a time penalty, probably just 5 seconds to reverse the order.

Retroactive drive through is like 15 seconds.

 

[Xun]

Glad I avoided this thread.

 

[Nolan.]

Thats right Martin scratch your head

 

[kharma45]

Putting Vettel back one place would be understandable, giving him a 25s penalty would be too much.

Yeah what would be fair would be to demote him the place he gained.

 

[Adamm]

Can they give a 5 second penalty? I though minimum was 20s

 

[Fantomex]

Sunhi great job as always. I need some sleep, cheers everyone. Always great to enjoy the races with you guys.

 

[Omiee]

Can they give a 5 second penalty? I though minimum was 20s

I think they can give a 10 second penalty as well.

 

[Jinjo]

These podium interviews aren't even interviews.

 

[pants]

Yeah what would be fair would be to demote him the place he gained.

Isnt this kind of shenanigans a drive through if you are found guilty? Or are there clauses that would allow them to modify the punishment?

 

[Dilly]

These podium interviews aren't even interviews.

True, but they're fun.

However, are there still real press conferences after the race? Combination of both would be best.

 

[Omiee]

Where is brotkasten? He is usually here during races.

Respect for him at least keeping the discussion a live even though he thinks im irritating.

 

[brotkasten]

Putting Vettel back one place would be understandable, giving him a 25s penalty would be too much.

I agree. Vettel should be placed on P3 and that's it. It's just a shame that he got to stand on the second place on the podium.

 

[Mohonky]

Yeah what would be fair would be to demote him the place he gained.

Why? They know the rules, they know the penalties. Why start making new penalties for each incident? It becomes inconsistent and some incidents will be seen as harsher than others by different stewards.

They set the rules as a standard for a reason.

But rules don't seem to apply on Red Bull, as we've seen earlier.

 

[Adamm]

I don't think so, there is a 10 second stop & go during the race - but after its only 20 or 30 seconds

 

[Omiee]

There he is.

Yeah i think so aswell. In the board view it looks like a good overtake but the overview clearly shows he was off the track.

I hope they give him a 10sec penalty or something. Would hate for him to get a 5grid penalty for the next race.

I don't think so, there is a 10 second stop & go during the race - but after its only 20 or 30 seconds

nvm i was confused with F1 2011 where if you go off track you get a 10 second penalty after the race.

I think the stewards are allowed to give pretty much any penalty they want from what I gathered from Brundle.

I want to see Vettel penalised heavily personally but in fairness a one place drop would be about right.

[Shaneus]

Dropping a single place in the current race isn't really a valid penalty though, is it? If it was any other time of the race, it'd be drive-through or it'd be a penalty in the next race, depending on the severity.

Don't think I've ever seen a penalty that resulted in just losing one spot, unless there was a massive gap between them and two spots back (or however it shakes out).

 

[The Super Bob]

The championship is Alonso's to lose at this point. He's having an excellent season. Ferrari need to get rid of Massa. He's just clearly not up to the task, and with Alonso as his team ante, it is just showing the gulf in class. If they had a more capable driver Ferrari would have a good hold on the constructors.

Glad to see Jenson fighting at the front of the race again. Hopefully he will be able to keep it up and get some more decent finishes. Feel sorry for Hamilton. Unlucky to get the puncture, though he had already had a weak start and probably wouldn't have been in the running for a podium.
