Formula One 2012

[GP]

Lewis Hamilton has indeed signed for Mercedes.

:doh:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

The home of relability. :lol:

:doh:

[GP]

I honestly don't see the sense in it.

Unless they're paying him a ridiculous amount of money. He was already on £20m a year.

This surely brings an end to the LOLmacher horror show.

[GP]

Sergio Perez is confirmed as Hamilton's replacement!!

:o

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Seem like a move in anger for Hamilton really.

And yeah Schumacher will surely be retiring, again.

Perez. :bow:

[GP]

It's Checo time!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Who will go to Sauber? :popcorn:

[GP]

I'm hearing it's possibly Jaime Alguesuari or Nico Hulkenberg.

If it's Hulkenberg, I expect Alguesuari will go to FI.

[GP]

Also, good riddance to Schumacher, his comeback has been an utter failure.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Merry-go-round. :bow:

All of this going on and Massa staying at Ferrari? :wacko:

[GP]

That's the funniest part of it all :lol:

[Master Splinter]

I'm not sure Eddie really knows.



GP :haha:.

Time for Syn to step up as GW's F1 expert.

[GP]

Perez :bow:

Brilliant from him.

:gp:

[GP]

Japanese Grand Prix

Suzuka, 5-7 October

http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-DQCqzxE3n_s/ToedBM7a9gI/AAAAAAAAO-Y/wCWob4XBmpA/s1600/Sebastian+Vettel+of+Germany+lead+team+mate+Mark+We bber+of+Australia%252C+during+the+Japanese+Grand+P rix+at+the+Suzuka+Circuit.jpg

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Schumacher has announced his retirement, again. :lol:

[GP]

He will be missed.

By someone.

Probably.

[Özim]

Great driver, one of the greatest ever in Formula 1.

Shame we didn't see him in a competitive car again.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Vettel got pole! Congrats to him, though rather predictable he'd get pole in Japan. Webber second, Button third. Then Kobayashi, Grosjean, Perez, Alonso, Raikkonen, Hamilton.

Raikkonen span off with no time left on the clock, which messed up everybody elses final lap. :doh:

Button will start in eighth due to a gearbox change.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Formation lap under way.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Kobayashi ahead of Webber. Alonso spins out, Rosberg gets caught, big crash down at the back of the field!

Safety Car out again. Rosberg and Alonso are both out!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ferrari on Twitter: "We have to be very careful at the first corner..."

:haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Webber somehow went back to six, sounds like a mechanical failure that has now corrected itself.

Webber is a terrible starter.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ah, Grosjean whacked Webber, that's why he had a problem.

Raikkonen made contact with Alonso at the start, Brundle says he hasn't done anything wrong. Probably right. Raikkonen just sent Perez wide too. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Perez passes Hamilton!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Grosjean has a 10 second stop/go pelanty.

Grosjean. :doh:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

BBC F1 co-commentator David Coulthard: "And he does go and do it again. He just runs into the back of Mark Webber, Romain, Romain, what are you doing? So many first-corner incidents."

DC. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Perez is out!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Drive through pelanty for Senna. Causing a collision with Rosberg on the first lap.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Schumacher passes Di Resta. He is 11th now. Not bad from 23rd.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Slow pitstop there for Button.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Pic is out.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Drive through pelanty for Petrov - ignoring blue flags. :doh:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Grosjean retires. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Vettel wins! 20 seconds ahead of Massa in second and back-to-back victories. :wacko: Kobayashi takes third!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Button only just behind in fourth. Then Hamilton, Raikkonen, Hulkenberg, Maldonado, Webber and Ricciardo. Vettel is only four points behind Alonso in the Championship now.

[Ollie the Optimist]

lewis hamilton just tweeted this


Just noticed @jensonbutton unfollowed, thats a shame. After 3 years as teammates, I thought we respected one another but clearly he doesn't.

wow

[Xhaka Can’t]

lewis hamilton just tweeted this



wow


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6FOUqQt3Kg0

[Ollie the Optimist]

apparently jenson button never followed him anyway. well done lewis. idiot

[GP]

Lewis Hamilton ‏@LewisHamilton
My bad, just found out Jenson never followed me. Don't blame him! Need to be on Twitter more!

So to summarise:

:shrug:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Hamilton. :haha:

[Olivier's xmas twist]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6FOUqQt3Kg0

:lol:

[Olivier's xmas twist]

apparently jenson button never followed him anyway. well done lewis. idiot

:doh: Hamilton.

[GP]

Maria de Villota has made her first public appearance since her accident.

She's looking surprisingly well
http://www.f1talks.pl/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/maria_de_villota-640x356.jpg

considering the damage that was done...
(I'll just link this one)
http://twitpic.com/b33431

[McNamara That Ghost...]

:blink:

Bloody hell.

[GP]

Yeah, I don't know how she's alive.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Me either. The eye region wasn't just damaged, it was destroyed.

In more silly F1 news, Hamilton has said perhaps Twitter isn't for him. :o

Plus, South Korea GP this weekend. Probably not one of my favourite circuits but I prefer it to China and Malaysia.

[GP]

Gangnam Style!

Also, Twitter :rose:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Webber qualified in pole! Vettel had dominated until that final qualifying. Vettel second, Hamilton third. Then Alonso, Raikkonen, Massa, Grosjean, Hulkenberg, Rosberg and Schumacher.

Both McLaren cars had been locking up on most of the sharp corners.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Formation lap under way. :popcorn:

I want to see Horner's face if Webber and Vettel take each other out on the first corner.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Vettel has the lead! Alonso is up to third. Hamilton is just ahead of Raikkonen.

Cars went wide down at the back end of the field. No crashes though.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

It's Button that has the damage! Kobayashi did indeed take him out as he said on the team radio.

Kobayashi. :doh:

So close to getting a drive with Sauber next year too.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Button and Rosberg have both retired.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Jenson Button on McLaren Team Radio: "I've just been hit by Kobayashi. What an idiot!"

:lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Perez actually made contact with Button at the start too. Also hit one of the Force India cars.

Team Sauber. :doh:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Button and Rosberg end up walking back together. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Kobayashi has a drive through pelanty.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Kobayashi is out.

Perez is on different tyres to all the lead drivers.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Hamilton isn't having fun. Massa is ahead of him now.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Raikkonen passes Hamilton and then Hamilton takes it back. :lol:

Can't see it lasting though.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Hamilton pits so Raikkonen didn't need to bother wasting his own time. :lol:

[Maestro]

Just left yard for work, Hamilton really is having a bad time ...how many pits will he need?
Maccy you must be a sport freak, you, SOJ and me are probably the only GW'ers awake right now ....globalistically!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Massa told to back off. :lol: Getting too close to Alonso apparently.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Just left yard for work, Hamilton really is having a bad time ...how many pits will he need?
Maccy you must be a sport freak, you, SOJ and me are probably the only GW'ers awake right now ....globalistically!

Hamilton will have to struggle until the end with the tyres he has, I imagine they will be worn by then but I don't think he will pit again. Sadly for him, that's the case for everybody else too.

And I love sport.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Hamilton, Grosjean and Hulkenberg having a three-way fight. :haha:

Hulkenberg gets around them both. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ah no, they will need to pit Hamilton again.

McLaren. :rose:

[Maestro]

Tyre preservation will be the order of the day I take it, expect slower lap times as the race progresses.
Was that team orders for Massa? ....he'll blow a blood vessel one of these days :-)

Sport freak you are ...bet you don't love golf though!

[Maestro]

Ah no, they will need to pit Hamilton again.

McLaren. :rose:

Oh you're kidding right ....game over Hammers

Who is replacing him next season?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

:lol:

Well, I only watch the majors and Ryder Cup for golf, should it not clash with anything else.

Massa is very close to Alonso, they will probably sabotage his car in case he has thoughts of getting ahead.

Perez is replacing Hamilton. Hamilton is racing in 10th currently. :lol:

[Maestro]

We can expect a post-race grumpy Hamilton

Remote gear box tweak for Massa ... :-)

Going underground Maccy, catch you on the other side mate!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Have fun!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Hamilton has picked up the carpet on his car! :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Vettel wins again! Congrats to him and he leads the Championship by six points. Webber second, Alonso third. Massa told to be fourth. Then Raikkonen, Hulkenberg, Grosjean, Vergne, Ricciardo and Hamilton.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

BBC are saying Vettel is likely to join Ferrari in 2014. :popcorn:

[GP]

That's been rumoured from some time.

Massa is confirmed for 2013.

Hulkenberg to Sauber next year too.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

I can't help but feel Alonso would want or give approval to Vettel as it helps to eliminate his biggest threat, not that I am cynical or anything.

[GP]

Indian Grand Prix

New Delhi, 26-28 October

http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-C8NSJHsXkf8/TqxQAxLnRGI/AAAAAAAADuQ/_8RjxtU5y7I/s1600/F1+India+Qualification++Formula+1+Buddh+Internatio nal+Circuit+13.jpg

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Q1 is under way, Massa just spun. :lol:

Managed to recover it though.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Maldonado fastest in Q1, shockingly.

All the usuals have dropped out. Kovalainen has beached the car. :lol: End of the session prematurely.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Q2 is under way.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Vettel is the fastest in Q2, that makes more sense.

Grosjean, Hulkenberg, Senna, Schumacher, Ricciardo, Di Resta and Kobayashi drop out.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Q3 under way. :popcorn:

If Vettel doesn't get it he should retire.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Vettel nearly took the car off track. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Vettel on pole! He saves his career. Webber second, Hamilton third. Then Button, Alonso, Massa, Raikkonen, Perez and Maldonado follow. Rosberg couldn't be arsed to run.

[Maestro]

Damn I missed this Maccy ........damn little league mornings :banghead:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

It was only the qualifying at least. The race is on at about 9:30 am tomorrow I think. Of course, the clocks go back tonight.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Hrithik Roshan will wave the chequered flag this time, Tendulkar couldn't make it. :rolleyes:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Formation lap under way.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Alonso ahead of Hamilton! Nearly got ahead of Button at the same time.

Schumacher has a puncture. :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Alonso passes Button easily!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Hamilton passes Button!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Hulkenberg passes Perez.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Perez has retired!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Alonso is reeling Webber in.

[Maestro]

Morning Maccy, how we doing?

Did Ferrari make changes to their gearbox or engine .....some serious straight line speed there

[GP]

Probably just a long 7th gear.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Maldonado has a puncture courtesy of Kobayashi. :lol:

[GP]

Maldona :doh:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Morning Maccy, how we doing?

Did Ferrari make changes to their gearbox or engine .....some serious straight line speed there

What GP said.

I am good thanks, hope you are too.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

You can see the smog. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Schumacher under investigation for ignoring blue flags. :haha:

[Maestro]

Better today, no work and daddy quiet time

Morning GP

.....what you said, although seems alonso is now struggling to pass webber somewhat

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Good stuff. 20 laps for it to change, possible some of them will fall off the cliff on tyres.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

De La Rosa is out.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Alonso passes Webber!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Sparks flying under Vettel's car. :popcorn:

[GP]

Should be black-flagged, tbh

[Maestro]

interesting race ...behind vettel that is

poor showing by indian fans, stands & greens looking very sparse for a nation of over a billion people

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Vettel wins again! Alonso second, Webber third. Then Hamilton, Button, Massa, Raikkonen, Hulkenberg, Grosjean and Senna.

[GP]

Yeah, it's pointless having a Grand Prix in a country where the people don't give a shit about motorsport.

[Dennis Bendtner]

You need to stick the Indian bloke in a Red Bull, I think. Give them a hero.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Karthikeyan was hilarious today. His race engineer was shouting at him to cool off the breaks as they were getting far too hot...ten minutes later he had to say the same thing again.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

It has been confirmed Hulkenberg replaces Perez at Sauber for next season.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Abu Dhabi:

Hamilton fastest in P1 and P3, Vettel fastest in P2. Vettel only ran a couple of laps in P3, went to the pits for an hour to sort out the breaks, comes back and posts a lap faster than Webber. :haha:

[GP]

You need to stick the Indian bloke in a Red Bull, I think. Give them a hero.

Even an Indian could stick a Red Bull on pole, I reckon.

[GP]

Usual suspects + JEV out on Q1.

HUL, PER, DIR, MSC, SEN, KOB and RIC out in Q2.

[GP]

Hamilton on Pole!

Webber 2nd
Vettel 3rd

Alonso 7th :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Oh dear Alonso.

Well done to Hamilton.

[Niall_Quinn]

Vettel starts from the back. Fuel system malfunction apparently, caused by a lack of fuel.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ouch. Although his race is just to be one place behind Alonso really.

[GP]

Vettel :haha:

[Niall_Quinn]

Amazing mistake for a team like Red Bull to make when the championship was so firmly in their grasp. Scarcely believable at best. Apparently Red Bull didn't even make the call. Renault did. Still, keeps things interesting for the USA.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Lunacy really. Guess it would've been avoided had Vettel not been so determined to try and improve a lap (which he didn't actually do). :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Formation lap under way, well, for all but Vettel.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Raikkonen up to second, Maldonado up to third. Webber. :doh:

Hulkenberg and/or Senna contact!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Now Alonso is ahead of Webber!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Vettel is already 20th. :haha:

Puncture for Grosjean, car damage for Rosberg.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Rosberg has crashed, Karthikeyan too!

Safety Car out. Vettel is in 13th, massive for him.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Rosberg climbed over Karthieyan! Jesus.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ricciardo nearly wiped Vettel out. :doh:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Vettel had to change his front wing, back to the back for him.

Safety Car in this lap.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Hamilton is out! Another car failure.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Alonso is now up to second!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Vettel is 11th!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Webber fucks it up! He is back on track but allows Vettel to gain on him.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Button passes Maldonado!

[GP]

Massa :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

What is Webber doing? He spins out, that confuses Massa and now he has spun! :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

This would be ridiculous if Vettel holds out those tyres until the end.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

They do pit Vettel in case he falls off the cliff. Should come out in around fifth though.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Vettel comes back out in fourth! Wow.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Perez and Di Resta going side by side.

Now there are crashes behind! Safety Car will be out. Webber is out, Grosjean is out. God knows who else is out.

What a GP. :haha:

[GP]

Vettel being handed this one.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Raikkonen. :haha: :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Safety Car in this lap.

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Vettel being handed this one.

Germans :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

10 seconds stop/go pelanty for Perez.

Germans :bow:

Hulkenberg :bow:

Hulkenberg :bow:

:gp:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Vettel passes Button!

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Vettle passes Button.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Raikkonen wins! :bow: Congrats to him for his first win on returning. Alonso second, Vettel somehow third. :wacko:

What a race.

Button, Maldonado, Kobayashi, Massa, Senna, Di Resta and Ricciardo follow.

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Why they playing GOD Save the Queen for?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Raikkonen said shit, in public. :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Why they playing GOD Save the Queen for?

Home of the car manufacturer.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Now Vettel just said fuck it up.

:haha:

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Home of the car manufacturer.

Oh.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Raikkonen having a beer. :haha:

A good chance of him being in jail before the night is through.

[Niall_Quinn]

Now Vettel just said fuck it up.

:haha:

Methinks the drivers have decided to end the podium interviews. No love lost there between Raikonnen and Coulthard, Vettel is way too smart to have accidentally made Coulthard and Sky TV looks like shitheads.

Come on Alonso!!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Can't wait for the decider. :popcorn:

There can't be team orders either presumably, with it being in Brazil.

And MO, only since joining Sky.

[GP]

There can't be team orders either presumably, with it being in Brazil.


:lol: I'm not sure they'll care about that.

[GP]

Did you see the race, Maccy?

What did you think of the new circuit?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

:lol: I'm not sure they'll care about that.

Alonso emerges victorious and is then throw in jail. :popcorn:

I haven't got round to seeing it yet, only followed the race on the radio. I'll watch the highlights when I get through my backlog of things to watch but my impression from the radio was that it's a circuit that is neither here nor there, like it's trying to be all things to all men. I doubt the climb is as good as Eau Rouge too!

I hope it takes off though, F1 deserved to have more exposure there.

[Niall_Quinn]

Can't wait for the decider. :popcorn:

And MO, only since joining Sky.

??? What's different about the rules in Brazil?

Yes indeed. Brundle is such an arse wipe he made Coulthard look like a decent bloke. I guess his pay rise was pretty huge then?

[GP]

I was impressed with the circuit. It's by far the best of the new ones.

The climb doesn't look all that impressive on board, certainly nothing on Eau Rouge.

The 'esses' section similar to Suzuka is quite impressive too, especially when you have a few cars going through together.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Hmm does sound better than the BBC portrayed but then that was my first mistake, trusting the BBC. Perhaps it was just the fact there wasn't a huge amount going on, or just that I was shattered by 7pm. Even shite circuits can have ridiculous races as this season has proved, so perhaps the opposite is true!

NQ, in Brazil there is a law about sports competitions where essentially everyone has to been trying their best, I'm sure teams can get away with but they can't be quite so blatant.

And I imagine Sky were shitting money out at the BBC team to lure them over.

[GP]

Hmm does sound better than the BBC portrayed but then that was my first mistake, trusting the BBC. Perhaps it was just the fact there wasn't a huge amount going on,

Did the BBC portray it as a boring race?

I thought it was anything but, constant action, lots of passing. One of the best races of the season.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Their delivery was just really, really lethargic. The only time they showed much exclamation was at the beginning and when Hamilton overtook Vettel.

[GP]

That's quite odd. I haven't seen a highlights package but the full race was very, very watchable.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Radio. :lol:

What's the point?

[Niall_Quinn]

Lots of overtaking, lots of wheel to wheel racing, the tyres took an age to heat up so everyone was slow, fast, slow. Vettel, Hamilton, Button, Alonso, Massa all had the fastest lap at one point. The only really awful bit was the American flag descending onto the circuit via parachute and all the yanks suddenly freezing with hand over heart as the anthem was murdered by some hillbilly - lots of perplexed Mexican and Euro faces at that point. Plus the safety car kept coming out every 7 minutes with commercials plastered all over it. And Rick Perry was there so actually, in hindsight it was probably the shittiest event on the calendar by miles.

BBC :bow:

[GP]

The best part was the podium hats.

[GP]

Charles Pic confirmed at Caterham and Esteban Gutierrez confirmed at Sauber for 2013.

As it stands, Heikki Kovalainen and Kamui Kobayashi will not have a race seat.

[GP]

And, barring a miracle, HRT are gone. Apparently the factory will close on Monday.

[GP]

And FP1 has just started.

Interlagos :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Poor old HRT. Things were always going to end badly when their cars couldn't brake properly.

Also, Sunday is going to be great.

[GP]

I hope so.

And for me, 'great' will include Vettel crashing on the last lap.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Vettel needs Button to pull his finger out. Hamilton should be reliable enough to be up there.

Kimi's engine has just detonated in practice 3.

Q2 is nearing completion.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Vettel fastest in Q2, Hamilton and Button follow. Alonso down in ninth.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Three minutes in to Q3 now.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Hamilton on pole! Button second, Webber and Vettel follow. Then Massa, Maldonado, Hulkenberg, Alonso, Raikkonen and Rosberg.

[GP]

Massa starts right next to Vettel.

Little bit bumper cars?

[GP]

ALONSO UP TO 3RD!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Alonso is in third!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Senna and Perez are out.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Hulkenberg passes Webber!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Vettel just put down the fastest lap. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Senna didn't want Vettel matching his Uncle. :ninja:

[GP]

Senna doesn't want Vettel matching his Uncle. :ninja:

He never could.

Nobody can tbf.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Alonso and Massa barricade. :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Grosjean is out!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Now Webber has spun! :haha:

[GP]

i can't deal with this :lol:

[Marc Overmars]

So what needs to happen for Xabi Alonso to take the title?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

At the moment he needs to finish third becase Vettel is out of the points.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Vettel is seventh.

WTF?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Button leads now!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Vettel sixth! Jesus christ.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Hamilton's fun and games in the pits are back.

Alonso is fighting with the car at every turn.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Now it's the Vettel/Webber blockade!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Hulkenberg leads!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Rosberg has a puncture.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Safety Car is on track.

Poor old Hulkenberg.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Safety Car is in this lap.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Webber goes wide!

Kobayashi passes Vettel.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Hamilton passes Button!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Now Kobayashi passes Alonso!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ah Alonso is back ahead of Kobayashi now.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Webber is having fun. Awlsome drift!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Petrov spins out!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Hamilton leads!

Hulkenberg span.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Soft tyres going on Vettel's car. Brave move.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Where the fuck did Raikkonen go off to? :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Hulkenberg and Hamilton collide!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Vettel pits again! What a weird decision to put the softs on.

[GP]

HULK SMASH!

:doh:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Alonso fighting the car like a boss. Fucking hell.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Horrible pitstop from Vettel.
