sav man Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 am I the only one that hates neil crompton's commentary? He shits me too! He makes a very good pit reporter (like he was back at 7), but just dosn't have the personality to be a commantator. iTV are starting to get annoying with the button humping (but no worse than the Aus commentators and Webber humping), I recon he has to wear waders when he speaks to them Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/104240-2006-f1-season/page/70/#findComment-2608355 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shell Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 I like Cromley!! even when he's being technical he explains it well... and I like how he's calm and sensible and doesnt get over excited or carry on like a wanker. Daryl Eastlake used to shit me to tears... i forgot all about the race, I was at Duncans on Sunday and didnt get back to Canberra till 11pm... totally forgot dammit Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/104240-2006-f1-season/page/70/#findComment-2609151 Share on other sites More sharing options...
djr81 Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 Somewhat telling is the difference between top end speeds at the end of the main straight. By way of just one example the Ferrari had an 11km/h better terminal speed than the McLaren. What the hell are they doing at Mercedes? Did the get the F1 engines mixed up with the diesels they put into the E class taxis?????

gtr660hp Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 Crompto is the best Australian commentator we currently have, i really hope Ch7 grabs him for next years V8SC otherwise it could be very dull. Cromly going no where -sorry Good to see Webber finished the year in fine style and this race basically represented his last 2 years at Williams-DNF ha ha. This whole Williams fiasco has destroyed any chance of Mark ever really getting to the top. I hope a thousand fleas invest the ass crack of all who work at Williams and crappy Cosworth.

djr81 Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 To me the extra speed he had down the straights was much more than just being towed along. It looked like the Ferraris had a substantial straight line speed advantage. Maybe they turned the wick up on Schumachers car to help secre the teams championship trophy. If they did they didn't miss by much. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/104240-2006-f1-season/page/70/#findComment-2609819 Share on other sites More sharing options...

ctjet Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 This is the reason i like Kimi... he is in this sport for himself. He couldnt care less what happens around him, he is only concerned about his car, his own performance and his chances of winning. I am convinced that after the three year contract with Ferrari runs out... he's gone.

Muz Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 (edited) Ok guys, it would appear that throughout the course of the F1 racing year, you have all managed at some time to commit character assasinations of most of the F1 Teams, F1 management, Cars, Drivers, Designers and just about anything or anyone associated with the Grand old *sport* of F1. As an avid reader of this topic and believe me it is better than reading a Phantom (Ghost Who Walks, Man who Cannot Die) comic, there have been so many twists and turns that I think they should make a movie out of the sport of F1. What's that? They already have I heard someone say!!! Damn there goes another great idea! Anyway guys, it has been a fantastic read (mobs of laughs) and can we now start the 2007 thread as I'm sure there will be plenty of script available during the off season/pre-season. Top Secret Post Script hot off the rumour mill. BE has agreed to sell the Brabham F1 naming rights to Craig Pollock! Ok, ok I just made that up but it makes nice reading.

Cheers Muz F1 is basically soap opera for blokes. If you want a movie about grand prix racing try Grand Prix. Hopelessly melodramatic in the 60's tradition, but worth a look. Muz, hate to dissuade you but BE doesn't own the rights to Brabham any more. Nothing wrong with the rumour other than that. Heard the one about Colin Chapman coming back from exile in South America to reform Team Lotus? Young Andretti will be driving for him. Cosworth motors.
