??? What's different about the rules in Brazil?Originally Posted by McNamara That Ghost...
Can't wait for the decider.
There can't be team orders either presumably, with it being in Brazil.
And MO, only since joining Sky.
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?

I was impressed with the circuit. It's by far the best of the new ones.Alonso emerges victorious and is then throw in jail.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Their delivery was just really, really lethargic. The only time they showed much exclamation was at the beginning and when Hamilton overtook Vettel.
That's quite odd. I haven't seen a highlights package but the full race was very, very watchable.
Radio.
What's the point?
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.

The best part was the podium hats.
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.
