F1 in 2013

[Jim Craik]

You would have to go back to Senna, Prost and Mansell to see that many unhappy folks on the podium!

 

[Keith]

Kym, you're a hosebag. Keep your face shut. None of us are listening/watching you anyway, as of now. You're officially out around Pluto somewhere, unless there's another planet even farther away. Next stop the black hole.

Whoa...lost me there Jim... or am I being fick? :huh:

 

[Keith]

No worries Jim, Mr Morton 'as strightened me aht. Innit.

Yus, I is fick.

 

[Jim Rosenthal]

My apologies, "hosebag" seems to be a Yank expression. It isn't complimentary, innit.

 

[Grady]

Well I liked the visit to the MCLAREN pit ...."Like my new car?"

 

[Pete McCluskey.]

The reaction of Lewis GF was priceless when he visited his old mates.
I wonder how many of the millions watching could lip read!


As I have said before I don't agree with team orders, but they have always been a part of F1 whether the rules allowed or not. At Malaysia we saw the difference between two teams, one with two honourable men, Nico and Lewis. And another
With a no honour, no respect, Prima Donna, win at all costs douche bag called Vettel. Who as Mark stated after the race " will be protected".

Hi Pete,
Missed that, any chance you can enlighten me/us?
Cheers

IMO this was a race for the ages on so many levels. The result, the way it happened, the tyre set-up and decisions, the things said over the radio by teammates, the after race events, the podium fracas, the spot the team managers are placed in, one very stupid error by one of the worlds best........etc etc. We, the viewers, actually got a peek behind the curtain at some very interesting goings on. The PR people will be very busy trying to make things good. It won't be easy.

For those of us in the USA I must say that while I love the 3 amigos (Hobbs, Matchett and Varsha) on NBC Sport the ability to get the behind the scenes coverage on a race like this is lacking. I watched with greeat interest Sky Sports coverage on Sky Sports News and it was more enlightening and cutting. Regardless, China should be fun for all.

You may have missed it, but after the race in the F1 Extra show, they covered alot more, including Will Buxton and a nice interview with a very quiet and careful Mr Horner.

 

[Malcolm]

It was a breach of a pre race agreemnt ie team orders, between G Villeneuve and D Pironi that caused so much upset to GV that may have contributed to his mind set and subsequent fatal crash. Not expecting similar consequences but certainly the damage between drivers seems to be of the same magnitude. If SV is truly sorry he would concede a victory when RB runinning 1-2 in the future. Not going to happen is it?

 

[Mesa]

Hamilton "LIKE MY NEW CAR?" (too funny) "Can you boys put on a fresh set for old times sake?"

I loved the radio transmission "Nice drive, but you have some explaining to do". Vettle just has no respect for anyone but himself, REALLY showed how immature he is. Even the lover of all things Vettle had a shit sandwich look on his face after the race (Marko).

 

[Jack]

I was laughing the entire event! How idiotic, all...

 

[Jimmy P]

Yep. missed it Jim. Will watch next time. Thanks for the heads up.

 

[Malcolm]

Vettel: But then I apologised so that is that!

Schumacher: Just as I would have done .......

 

[Paul Brameld]

Says it all really :

 

[tom pritchett]

I used to like Vettel, but after that move.......I still like Webber. He drove a great race and for once, he actually started the car with all of the others! Must have gotten his personal launch control fixed.

 

[Mesa]

The perfect ending would have had Vettle blow his engine in the closing laps or not have had enough fuel left for the fuel legality test.

 

[David Morton]

Jack has it right. You have to laugh. Bernie was watching at home in London and probably pulling the strings from the UK....
It's one big hoax guys and you've all been taken in.

 

[Keith]

The whole thing sucks badly. At no time did you ever see proper racing anyway, never mind 'team orders' which are shite - and the speed of the cars is now irrelevant, it's how the car (and driver) uses tyres, and the pitwall manages tyre strategy and that ain't racin'.

I don't know about Bernie, but David's right - this is now a sport for football fans, and, as I've never been a football fan, I don't care if I never see another F1 race and that is sad considering the number of drivers who have been killed genuinely racing their hearts out..

 

[Pete McCluskey.]

I disagree David, I don't think that even Bernie can manipulate things that well although I am sure he would like to. If it was stage managed like ringside at the wrestling then webber should take up acting after he finishes with F1. If his performance on the podium was an act to suck us in he should get an Oscar.
I have never seen him so pissed off!
