F1 Official Thread - Grand Prix of Britain

[Sinner]

^ Indeed. There's a great bit of history there... plus a lot of cars from ex-drivers... DC, Sato, Rydell, Schumi and of course...

Meanwhile, great bit of gamesmanship by Ferrari.

Makes perfect sense... why shouldn't they do it?

US GP: Ferrari evaluating pre-race gearbox change for Felipe Massa

 

[flashout01]

woundn't make sense to put Massa 5 places down... Pastor and Romain is still around Alonso

but seriously. i hope no SC in the first corner

 

[Sinner]

Ferrari have broken the FIA-seal on Massa's car and will now be demoted 5 spots. 

Alonso P7!

And Ferrari have admitted that it was a tactical decision! Would have been VERY foolish to claim that Massa had a damaged ******.

And...here...we...go

COWBOY. HATS.     

HIS EXPRESSION!!!

that looks kinda AYO!

You guys can't complain about it being a boring race. Lots of overtaking and suspense right until the very end

 

[zk1mpls]

Cowboy hats LMAO

 

[flashout01]

great drive from LH! but the winner here is Austin! i was expecting a boring race. i thought Seb would pull away off the line but LH stick with it. plus. Senna, Perez and Pastor put a show for their supporters. great success for Austin

It just dawned upon me that this weekend at Interlagos will be Michael Schumacher's last Grand Prix. Didn't even get a chance to attend one of his races, too. 21 Seasons. Incredible. Definitely one of the all-time greats. Hope he goes out with a bang (and by that I mean he takes out Vettel). Kidding.

Will definitely try to stay up for the race. Last time I did so was in 2008, and we all know how that went down. :x |I :\ >:

By the way, the latest "Tooned" episode.

 

[Sinner]

One of the weaker Tooned episodes, I have to say...

Hope they end the season with a good one.

For better or worse, I got to see Schumi twice.  Also got to see Mika and Kimi, so I can't complain!

 

[zk1mpls]

Yeah I agree.


Hope Michael sticks around in the world of F1 (though not as a driver), but it definitely would not be likely.

 

[flashout01]

yeah it feels like lucky 08 again but whoever wins the WDC this year will be lucky but deserving

Lewis rockin' this fitted for his last race with McLaren (until 2016 anyway).

Heres the full design for Hamiltons helmet for the last race of 2012/McLaren career...

 

[Thierry Henry]

That McLaren 1-2 punch

I hope we have a good race tomorrow. And I really don't want Vettel to win. C'mon Alonso I believe in you!

 

[Sinner]

BOOM. 1-2.  Let's get that win. 

Looks VERY tough for Alonso though... should be some rain which will really stir ish up!

 

[flashout01]

last race is always tricky. some are fighting for championship, some are racing for next years seat. its the drivers last chance to impress present and future employers and sponsors.

BREAKING ~ 10 place grid penalty for MAL, 3rd reprimand of the year.  Missed going into the weigh-bridge in Q2.

Good news for ALO as he moves up to 7th.  

And our top-3 qualifiers for the final race of the year.

 

[zk1mpls]

They just screened "Senna" on Sky Sports F1.

 

[zk1mpls]

The final McLaren Tooned episode of the season.

 

[Sinner]

Say no more, I haven't seen it yet! 

Looks like it's gonna be a dry race!

 

[zk1mpls]

OH MY GOD!

What are the drivers season standings right now?

I can't remember who needs the victory the most today...

I'm still watching City v Chelsea...
