Round 9 - Silverstone

The Big Kahuna · 06-Jul-2012, 10:25

Practice 1 now on at http://www.vipbox.tv/sports/formula-1.html if you don't have SKY or are at work.

The Big Kahuna · 06-Jul-2012, 10:26

Odds on Schumey, Button and Alonso podium if it's a wet race ?

eek · 06-Jul-2012, 12:03

Gonna be wet, wet, wet!

DEV^S · 06-Jul-2012, 15:20

ive driven around silverstone track and its a fantastic drive. should be an interesting race with the rain.

Ruddles · 06-Jul-2012, 18:13

Should be a good one. I'm off to watch it from the Abbey Grandstand on Sunday so looking forward to seeing the cars float round the track.

Hot Soup · 06-Jul-2012, 19:07

Christ knows who'll be on form for this one, I suspect the RB's :/

It's all been on the beeb website so far hasnt it ?

Hope so, really tough to call these days, ill be keeping an eye out for Webber who has sneaked up to 2nd almost under the radar*

*unless its just me not paying attention.

The Big Kahuna · 07-Jul-2012, 10:53

That Lotus is fucking handy around here!

GroovYF · 07-Jul-2012, 13:06

I see this being quite a crazy, mixed-up grid for tomorrow.

The Big Kahuna · 07-Jul-2012, 13:20

Pole is going to be about luck, and being on the right tyres on the last lap of quali I reckon. Then again, Alison is using all my bandwidth until 1:30, watching the fecking Murray match on catch-up, so I haven't seen any of qualifying yet.

Hot Soup · 07-Jul-2012, 13:24

Dont you have a tv? Its on bbc. And aye will be a combination of luck and weather. Sigh. Button.

GroovYF · 07-Jul-2012, 13:33

Alonso got lucky there!

Yeah, it has my PS3 plugged into it, which she was using to watch the tennis on iPlayer, thus using all the bandwidth. She's watching the ladies final on telly now, so I can watch the last part of quali, which is the only part worth watching tbh.

And...red flag...fucking pussies.

The Big Kahuna · 07-Jul-2012, 13:38

Grosjean is going to be a hero or zero this weekend I reckon.

And luckier still not to get collected when Massa rejoined the track.

Button bet fucked, Schumacher looking dodgy, its all up to Kimi.

Hot Soup · 07-Jul-2012, 13:45

Completely agree with Gary Andersons comment. They shouldnt have red flagged with 6 minutes left to go. If the drivers didnt want to go round any more in the rain, park it.

The Big Kahuna · 07-Jul-2012, 14:24

Anyone just see Lee talking to Bernie just now ? Jeez, the man looks and sounds about 10 minutes from the heavenly choir.

The Big Kahuna · 07-Jul-2012, 14:38

Seeing Nic Hamilton has just made my day. I love that kid.

GroovYF · 07-Jul-2012, 15:16

Damnit... Wanted Vettel out

gil · 07-Jul-2012, 15:17

Kimi and MSC through, bets back on \o/

The Big Kahuna · 07-Jul-2012, 15:34

Good grid. Odds on Schuey fucking Vettel off into the scenery at the first corner ?

Hot Soup · 07-Jul-2012, 15:43

Unless Alonso walks the race

, we shall see!

Hot Soup · 08-Jul-2012, 13:01

any rain forecast?

gil · 08-Jul-2012, 13:25

Someone needs to break Maldonado's legs.

DEV^S · 08-Jul-2012, 13:27

once again he is involved.

Hot Soup · 08-Jul-2012, 13:50

Mclaren ... whats the strategy here?

Goody · 08-Jul-2012, 13:56

Retarded*

*may or may not be true - im open to looking like an idiot as I cant really understand it

Hot Soup · 08-Jul-2012, 13:59

You just get the impression sometimes that they do fuck their strategy up. Everyone does it , but Mclaren always seem to managed it more. Granted they were what 8th and 12th? ... but still.

Alonso's to lose I think. Tennis going on shortly anyway :/

Goody · 08-Jul-2012, 14:06

Kobi gets a strike!
