Qualifying starts in a few...anyone watching live?

 

wow...MS spun in prequalifying!...that was unusual!

 

Barichello spun too! wow!

 

Watching now!

All I care about is the fact that KR and the Mclaren MP4-19B have been quickest in practice. The Michelins do well with the not-so-warm temps. that's occuring at Silverstone.

Go Kimi!

Just like I said!

I'm very proud of this effort from Kimi Raikonnen and the Mclaren MP4-19. He has been so patient with all that has happened with the car/team this season! He deserves it!

Finally something to look forward to from Mclaren and my favorite driver.

*prays for even more miracles tommorow*

 

Good job Jenson for spilting up the Ferrari's.


Sad about Minardi's sporting director John Walton.

 

what about schumacher saying his spin in practice was a "tactical" decision?

maybe sato and button are on different stop strategies? i can't imagine sato being much slower. the announcers also said honda has dropped the rev limiter on the lumps to make them more reliable; maybe sato can finish a race?!

Yeah I also heard that they may be detuning Sato's car, is that the same thing or other? Then they also mentioned that as compared to Button's car, Sato blowing 6 engines, they were speculating if both cars were tuned the same or not.

I'm still stuck on the France GP where they mentioned Ferrari developing a light-weight fuel.

 

I'll have to catch it tonight!

 

Ferrari has been using the light weight Shell fuel this entire season. Shell released a statement earlier this year, "Ten laps of Shell-produced Ferrari fuel, for example, might be the equivalent of only eight laps of a rival Formula One squad's product, because it weighs less. A statement said 'Shell V-power F1ULG58' is as 'light as possible whilst maintaining the same performance characteristics."

Renault's fuel, Elf has also followed Shell by developing a light weight fuel.

Anton who is wondering how many R owners are gonna jump from Sunoco or Mobil to Shell V power now after the above statement. (yes I know it's not the same but the general population here just jumps when you say jump).

 

 

The question about tomorrow is if it will rain... things will get very interesting in the wet.

 

I see Schumacher taking yet another We will see tomorrow at 7:30.

 

I don't...its not his best track...he spun twice in practice and once in pre-qualifying. He didn't do so hot in qualifying either...

Watching the re-run of the qualifying as we speak

 

race starts in 30 minutes...anyone watching live?

 

The closest thing we get to live coverage in Australia is the F1 website... so in a sense, yes. Any guesses as to Sato's strategy?

 

Gotta wait another 2 hrs.

The B.A.R / Renault rivlary and competitiveness is some of the most exciting racing i've seen for a while and pretty much every round is an all out war to determine 2nd & 3rd position in the Constructors Championship..

What keeps Ferrari's almost obvious victories still just as exciting as the battle for 2 & 3 as above, is watching their wizard Race Analysis at work with a untarnished record of calculations. And of-course Shumey......Still thrilling to watch and he celebrates every victory as if it were his first - he still remembers when he did it for fun. And if its in the wet, well Shumey loves the wet.

Anyway enough of my dribble, just before I go....Its time to see Honda finish on the No1 Podium and what better place for Button.

Go B.A.R and please go the distance Sato.
