Formula One 2014

what a great drive.

also.

good thing these low noses have stopped cars from unnecessary flipping each other

this.

How the fcuk is Maldonado allowed to be here

It cant just be the money

and this.

and...watching the mercs run each other was good.

actually, seeing all the teams run against themselves was pretty good to see.

Mercs must be $1.01 to win WDC and WCC by now.

Not too bad after all.

Many thanks to Maldonado for closing the gaps but they need to sort out the safety car unlapping procedure we were robbed of at least 2 laps.

[Gts-t]

Great race glad I got up for it

So happy to start reading apologies from those saying Dan was the cop=out option for a safe no.2

Tools radio: "Daniel is faster than you."

I went to sleep after that. It wasnt going to get any better.

...but it did. When Dan pulled a nice move on Vettel then resisted Vettels attempts to get backl past whilst Dan was trying to get the job done on Hulk just in front of him. There was probably less than 2m between each of the three cars in breaking areas!

that was a classic tyre climbing tyre flip. nothing to do with the nose.

so maldanado now has a 5 grid penalty and 3 penalty points....

i understand the risk in pit lane for injury is higher for the workers having only helmets and also other members without....

and the safety of the cars is great, but i think dan getting 10 grid penalty and maldo only getting 5 is wrong

Ah ok. Will have a look when I get home.

Anyone know why the race wasnt on One last night?

ok, I'll admit it - Dan is a dangerous number 2! He very nearly ballsed it all up outbraking himself behind Kimi, locking it all up in a desperado up the inside... As the commentators said, good thing it was Kimi on the outside - the master of staying out of trouble. Otherwise it may well have ended as ingloriously as Maldonardo's little incident.

But he's driving very well otherwise. I'm impressed and surprised.

Cost cutting could bring us this gem.

I think that was the messiest move I have seen him do in the 3 years he has been in F1. Not a bad record, espeically when in the move on Kimi you cant help but think with his fresh tyres and pace part of the problem was just how slow Kimi was when he arrived at corner entry and Kimi was still there.

It appears Vettel's car hasnt been running in the sweet spot that Dan's car has so will be interesting mid season when the cars are free of those little dramas that rob one or the other of those tenths lap after lap how they go.

So far was impressed by Vettels maturity in letting Dan pass when ordered to. Actually was shocked he moved out of the way within a few corners

Ted's notebook.

[Aggroman]

Everyone is saying it was a good race (i just finished my sky sports download) and honestly the safety car really saved it imo

its still a Merc white wash of a season much like ferrari and the early to mid 2000's. The battle at teh end was stellar though but without the safety car I think it would of been another dud bar a few small highlights.. Also perez is such a wank, doesnt fit in at all! I loved watching the merc boys shut him out whenever he tried to talk

[sh@un]

Lotus still on no points after 3 races. Shit go.
