Formula 1 2013

[Niall_Quinn]

Great stuff from Perez and Alonso. Again we see Red Bull only focusing on one car, plainly they only run the one car every season and then put together a bucket of spares for Webber, just to meet the requirements.

[GP]

They gave him fuel, gave him tyres, gave him that which he desires.

[Niall_Quinn]

They gave him fuel, gave him tyres, gave him that which he desires.

Yes but having to get out of the car and pay at the kiosk really hurts his chances.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

I think it's just that Webber isn't as good.

Can't believe it's been 19 years :(

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Q1 under way.

Russian GP next year. If it's in place of Spa I will stomp on Bernie's head.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Hamilton fastest in Q1.

Both Williams are out. :doh:

[GP]

Button likes a whinge

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Q2 under way. :popcorn:

[GP]

I expect both McLaren's to be knocked out here.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Hamilton fastest in Q2! Button has had a mare, Perez gets in though.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

IN

1) Hamilton 2) Vettel 3) Alonso 4) Raikkonen 5) Webber 6) Rosberg 7) Perez 8) Massa 9) Grosjean 10) Di Resta

Q3 not far away. :popcorn:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Rosberg on pole! Hamilton second, Vettel third. Then Raikkonen, Alonso, Massa, Grosjean, Webber, Perez, Di Resta.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Massa and Gutierrez have both incurred three place grid pelanties.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Formation lap under way.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

What a pass from Vettel!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

And from Alonso on Hamilton too!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Webber down to 12th. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Alonso jump start?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Either way it was stunning racing.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Two trains of three at the front. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Raikkonen passes Hamilton and is up to fourth!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Webber already pitting.

Could be four stops today. :wacko:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Now Massa passes Hamilton. Dropping off the cliff.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Damage to Grosjean's car! Retirement for him.

Something very wrong with Sutil's car too but I think he might be back on track now. Pit stop from hell though.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Alonso passes Vettel on Vettel's exit from the pit lane!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Alonso leads!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Vettel now passes Rosberg. The Mercedes just doesn't have the staying power.

Now Massa passes Rosberg. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Rosberg will probably be caught by Webber soon.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Maldonado. :lol:

Wrong track mate.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Alonso building a good lead, would think Vettel is being cautious with tyres though.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Van Der Garde's wheel goes flying.

[GP]

Kimi right up on Vettel

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Raikkonen passes Vettel!

Critical front tyre for Vettel apparently.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Contact in the pitlane from Hulkenberg to one of the Toro Rosso's. :doh:

[GP]

Hulk Smash!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Alonso passes Raikkonen!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Fourth pit stop for Vettel. :lol:

Comes back out in fourth though, somehow.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Alonso wins! Congrats to him. Raikkonen second, Massa third. Then Vettel, Webber, Rosberg, Di Resta, Button, Perez and Ricciardo.

[Niall_Quinn]

Still the best. Would love to go but wifey won't let me sell the house.

[GP]

I find it a bit dull. I'd love to go again, but watching on TV isn't great.

[Niall_Quinn]

I find it a bit dull. I'd love to go again, but watching on TV isn't great.

You've been? Where did you get the £10k for the hotel room?

[GP]

Stayed in Nice. One day I hope to stay in a suite at the Fairmont, but that's Letters' money.

[Niall_Quinn]

I'm going to silverstone this year. The mud and traffic jams aren't quite as glamorous maybe.

[GP]

It's a better race, though.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Massive crash for Massa in P3.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

And now the session is red flagged again, Grosjean crashes for the third time this weekend. :doh:

[Injury Time]

I find it a bit dull. I'd love to go again, but watching on TV isn't great.

I presume this isn't on "normal" tv <_<

[GP]

I presume this isn't on "normal" tv <_<

It sure is. It's on same old, regular, normal Sky Sports F1 and Sky Sports F1 HD.

[Injury Time]

It sure is. It's on same old, regular, normal Sky Sports F1 and Sky Sports F1 HD.
Good job it's boring to watch on tv then :crying:

RAINING!
:popcorn:

[Injury Time]

You want to blame the BBC, tbh.

Fucking taxpayers ....oh

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Maldonado fastest in Q1.

Di Resta, Pic, Gutierrez, Chilton and Bianchi are out. Massa didn't get out of the garage, unsurprisingly.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Q2 under way.

Rain is falling again. :popcorn:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Everyone going on to the dry tyres, not long left to go in this session. :popcorn:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Vettel fastest in Q2.

Hulkenberg, Ricciardo, Grosjean, Bottas, Van Der Garde and Maldonado drop out.

Maldonado. :lol:

[GP]

Mal:doh:nado

:haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Q3 under way. Doubt any of the drivers will be wasting time in not setting laps for this one.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Rosberg on pole! Congrats to him. Hamilton second, Vettel third. Then Webber, Raikkonen, Alonso, Perez, Sutil, Button and Vergne.

[GP]

btw, this is the start of yesterday's GP2 race...


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ht-bfjcKJME

:doh:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

:lol:

What an odd crash. Hard to even call it a pile-up really.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Here we go. :popcorn:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Pic has a wheel missing!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Perez and Button nearly collide. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Maldonado pits. :haha:

Lost his front wing somewhere.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Button isn't happy with Perez, cutting a chicance. Although tbf Perez did just go right across it. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Vettel and Hamilton are going at it. Something bad is going to happen surely.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Perez cut two of them. :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Pic's car is on fire!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Smoke billowing across the track. I do imagine the Safety Car will be deployed.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Or not.

Me. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

It's about to come alive, stick with it.

Will do Brundle.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Massa crashes again!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Safety Car out for the first time this season.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Not sure if that was a neck brace on Massa or a towel.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Hamilton appear behind the Red Bulls. Worked out for Rosberg ok though.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ah, definitely a neckbrace.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Safety Car in this lap.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

The dreaded 'maintain your position' message.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Hamilton nearly got Webber at Rascasse.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

What a move from Perez on Button!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Perez nearly did Alonso on the chicane.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Massive crash for Maldonado. Bianchi caught in it, think Chilton collided with Maldonado originally.

Red flag.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Maldonado's car is a complete mess.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Race resumes in ten minutes.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Race is back underway, well, nearly.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Drive through pelanty for Chilton - annihilating Maldonado.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Perez loves that chicane, this time he pushes Raikkonen through it. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Sutil does Alonso on their hairpin!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Bianchi crashes out.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Grosjean and Ricciardo collide just coming up to the chicane.

Grosjean just launched in to the back of Ricciardo. He is a nutter.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Safety Car is out again. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Raikkonen is losing water from the engine, too hot. Suppose the fact this race has been going for over two hours (including the red flags) now hasn't helped.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Perez and Raikkonen cutting it fine.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Raikkonen has a puncture from that clash with Perez. :doh:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Perez is out!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Finally it is over. :lol:

Rosberg wins! Congrats to him. Vettel second, Webber third. Then Hamilton, Sutil, Button, Alonso, Vergne, Di Resta and Raikkonen. How the hell did Raikkonen get in to the points? :wacko:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Only 16 finishes. :lol:

[Niall_Quinn]

How has Perez not been banned for being a pratt? Some may say it added excitement to a dreadfully dull procession, but the guy was constantly relying on other drivers avoiding his recklessness. Shit driver. Same goes for grosgean, what a berk as usual. Good stuff from Sutil though. Otherwise it was another tyre race. Boring. Canada will be better.

[GP]

Canadian Grand Prix

Montreal, 7-9 June

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Should be good for Mercedes, I think. Hamilton usually nails it there anyway.

[GP]

It'll be all about the tyres, I think.

I certainly expect the Mercs to qualify very well, but the race could be quite different.

Might have a cheeky bet on Kimi, tbh.

[GP]

A very interesting chat with former FIA medical delegate Dr. Gary Hartstein.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Q3 is a few minutes in.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Vettel on pole! Congrats to him. Then Hamilton, Bottas :wacko:. Rosberg, Webber, Alonso, Vergne, Raikkonen, Ricciardo and Sutil.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Massa sure does enjoy crashing.

[GP]

Felipe Crasha haha lol

[McNamara That Ghost...]

:lol:

He'll be solely responsible for Ferrari posting financial losses this year.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Formation lap under way.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Very good start from Webber for once.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Sutil forces Hulkenberg off track. :doh:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Sutil spins, 360, keeps it going. No crashes.

Bottas. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Maldonado whacks in to the back of Sutil. :doh:

What a gimp.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Raikkonen nearly joined the WoC. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

And Vettel grazes a wall. :wacko:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

What a move from Raikkonen on Ricciardo! He had Massa right there next to him too.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Drive through pelanty for Maldonado. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Tyre management time. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Bottas head cam. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Massa is going mental, locks up this time though. A crash can't be far away from him now, in tenth currently.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Button going for a one stop. Or if he isn't, staying out for 28 laps on the soft tyres is insane.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Webber very close to Rosberg, still can't get past him though.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Webber finally passes Rosberg this time, Alonso now passes Rosberg too.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Vettel laps Raikkonen. :wacko:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Webber and Van Der Garde make contact.

:lol:

Van Der Garde you moran, just look in your mirrror!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Alonso passes Webber!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Van Der Garde's front wing trapped under his car!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

No surprise that VDG has retired from that.

[GP]

Van der Garde is woeful.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Hamilton out between the two McLaren's. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Vettel running off wide. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Di Resta finally pits after 57 laps. :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Sutil is being a dick.

[GP]

Sutil doesn't like Hamilton

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Drive through pelanty for Sutil, possibly drops him out of the points.

:haha:

Good.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Alonso passes Hamilton for second!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Alonso and Hamilton make contact, some piece of Hamilton's car flies away.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Gutierrez is out.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Massa passes Raikkonen for eighth.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Vettel wins! Congrats to him. Alonso second, Hamilton third. Then Webber, Rosberg, Vergne, Di Resta, Massa, Raikkonen and Sutil.

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

Coulthard is quite boring.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Vettel booed. :lol:

[GP]

A track marshal was killed after being run over by a crane that was recovering Gutierrez's Sauber.

:(

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Terrible news. :(

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

Red Bull driver Mark Webber has decided to leave F1 at the end of this season.

The 36-year-old Australian is joining German company Porsche's new sportscar programme, which includes an assault on the classic Le Mans 24 Hours.

Webber had options to stay in F1, either with Red Bull or another top team, but feels it is time to move on in his career

Get away from Vettel more like.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

I think that's the right decision, in a 24 hour race, no onus on him to start well. :ninja:

Who to replace him though? I'd have thought it's too soon for any of the current Toro Rosso driver to step up - we know Vettel has signed another contract.

Raikkonen perhaps? :popcorn:

[PGFC]

The money's on Kimi.

[Niall_Quinn]

Raikonnen is unlikely to put up with Red Bull's BS, can't see that lasting long. They'll want somebody who is happy to play second string.

[GP]

Can't wait to see him in Le Mans next year.

I'm a big fan, proper racer and a good bloke.

[Özim]

Raikonnen is unlikely to put up with Red Bull's BS, can't see that lasting long. They'll want somebody who is happy to play second string.

17) Valtteri Bottas 18) Esteban Gutierrez 19) Charles Pic 20) Jules Bianchi 21) Giedo Van Der Garde 22) Max Chilton

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Button, Massa, Vergne, Perez, Hulkenberg and Maldonado drop out.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Here we go. :popcorn:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Vettel up to second!

Webber with another terrible start, must've had contact!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Massa up to fifth from 11th. :blink:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ah it was Grosjean that made contact with Webber. :faint:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Webber easily passes Button.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Hamilton's tyre has gone! If it has exploded like Perez's did...

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Hamilton doing his best to get to the pits but he is going to be in last by the time he gets there.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Yup, just an explosion. Crazy.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Now Massa's tyre has gone!

Pirelli. :haha:

[GP]

This is embarrassing for the sport.

Pirelli should be utterly ashamed of themselves. They are going to get someone killed.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Now Vergne's tyre has gone. Fucking hell.

[GP]

Farce.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

The amount of debris that keeps being spread on the track is just going to mean it happens again.

Luckily Grosjean and Raikkonn didn't get any heavy debris on themselves.

Safety Car deployed.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

It's giving Newey a headache by the looks of it.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Hamilton and Di Resta. :yikes:

Alonso nearly released right in to Grosjean in the pits.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Raikkonen passes Hamilton and so does Alonso too.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Webber passes Alonso, up to fourth.

Sutil and Hulkenberg make contact, Hulk's front wing has damage, I think.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Brilliant from Hamlton and Di Resta.

Edwards and Coulthard. :haha:

Both take turns in calling Di Resta Sutil.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Vettel is out!

Vettel :pal:

Feel so sorry for Perez. He was going really well.

Go on Mark!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Webber passes Raikkonen for second!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Alonso was right at the back of Perez when the tyre exploded.

Jesus wept.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Alonso up to third!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Hamilton up to fourth now.

Lotus ballsed it up for Raikkonen.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Webber could get Rosberg on the final lap!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Rosberg wins! Congrats to him. Webber second and well done to him too. Then Alonso, Hamilton, Raikkonen, Massa, Sutil, Ricciardo, Di Resta and Hulkenberg.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Also, a well earned :doh: for Pirelli.

Alonso says he was scared after Perez's tyre exploded. Not surprising.

Rosberg under investigation for not slowing down through yellow flags

[Niall_Quinn]

Few things impress me, especially hype, PR clowns, bigmouth middlemen and other money bullshit that passes for sport these days.

But seeing (and hearing) those amazing machines blast around Silverstone and watching the way those incredible (lunatic) drivers go wheel to wheel, inches apart, into a corner at speeds faster than I'd feel comfortable driving in a straight line - no BS there, that's literally when the rubber meets the road (or in Pirelli's case explodes into the air). Fantastic. Bring spare pants, you'll shit yourself on their behalf when they go for that gap. Alonso and Hamilton coming back through the field? Just wow!

The crowd, they keep going on about it on TV but it really is something when the whole crowd rises to it's feet as Hamilton blasts past, like some scene from Ben Hur. And when Vettell stopped and the whole place erupted into cheers, Jeez I felt sorry for the guy. Imagine being disliked to that degree. Hamilton toured the run off areas right in front of the grandstands at the end. Insane reaction from the crowd and no swearing, no hate, absolutely 100% suitable for kids (obligatory for kids I'd say). Boy's own stuff right there in real life.

We got to walk the track literally within an hour after they had all been flying around at near 200mph. You could still smell the fuel and see the tyre tread smeared across the road. My son stood on the old pole position line for a photo, people can criticise Silverstone all they want but they can't deny the guys there know how to put on a show and now how to give a little back to the crowd (having taken plenty too, of course - the prices, ouch - bring sandwiches FFS!)

Only downsides, it all goes so fast (time). The race drags on for ever on TV, but yesterday it was over in what seemed like minutes. Oh, and you experience that and then have to go back to work the next day. Fucking hell, what a suicidal come down!

All in all though, one big beautiful never to be forgotten astonishingly good day of sport. Do this at least once if you ever get the chance.

PS. The Red Arrows? Mad and magnificent bastards in a whole different way.

[PGFC]

Pirelli are to be allowed to do two tyre tests, will they invite Ferrari & Red Bull?

[PGFC]

Threatened driver strikes over tyres? stop driving over the kerbs then, pussies.

[Niall_Quinn]

Ecclestone and the gang have escaped much of the criticism here, considering they are 100% to blame for this tyre nonsense. They were the guys who wanted to throw random shite into the mix to get the viewer figures up. Nice to see them take the extra profits and dodge the buck when its looking for a place to stop.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Vettel fastest in P2 and today, P3.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Q1 under way at the Nurburgring. :popcorn:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Massa fastest in Q1. Safe to say some drivers have been taking it easy for that session I would say.

Bottas, Maldonado, Pic, Bianchi, Van Der Garde and Chilton all drop out.

Williams. :doh:

[GP]

Maybe Massa really is the fas...

:haha: I couldn't even finish the sentence.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Massa has got one over Alonso.

Q2 is a few minutes in.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Rosberg eliminated. :wacko: Di Resta, Perez, Guttierez, Sutil and Vergne join him.

Damon Hill predicted Rosberg for pole. :rose:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Massa is out. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Unsafe releases at every GP.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Vettel pitting early.

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

Camerman hit by a Webber wheel!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Red Bull completely fuck up Webber's pit. Loose wheel knocks down a cameraman! What a calamity.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Webber and Massa must wonder what they did in a previous life. Must've been something particularly nasty.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Raikkonen passes Rosberg!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Now Raikkonen gets Hamilton at the chicane too, Raikkonen up to fourth.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Bianchi's car is on fire!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Bianchi's car is going down the track by itself! :wacko:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

That could've been a complete catastrophe, the other cars were far enough down the straight for it not to be an issue thankfully.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Webber up to 16th.
