Too bad for Ferrari becuase Massa did have that race in the pocket.

Epic pictures...

You can say that again Mr. Garrison!

offtopic: you really suck at checking your pm's se�or nachitos

wow nice pics!
pretty interesting race, well done to alonso for getting back on the winners list. unlucky for massa, it was funny watching the pit crew running up to the car, then dragging the hose back lol. shaping up to be a good finish, i think this season has been pretty good so far.

Can't remember where I read it now but because they were stacking Massa and Kimi at that stop they couldn't reset the system fast enough. So for that stop the light was being controlled by a guy who pressed the button to make it turn green too early, it wasn't on automatic and it wasn't being triggered by each worker.

Noikee - nice sig with the Pikes Peak 205-T16!!!

I only just noticed that now.

Also, great pics posted by NCHS - those are so crisp.

The pics are from the Boston globe. Obviously a nice enough setting to get the main stream media's attention.

The new green tires on the green car of toyota (cant remember if its toyota or not) look sick.

kimi sucks

go pens

that is all.

Did Glock end with the fastest lap in practice? My recording cut off with 1 minute left when Raikkonen was had green in the first sector.

Glock was awefully fast in qualifying, I can tell you that much.

I've already overanalysed the race in a F1 forum, so here's a quick summary:

- Fun race, nice surprise winner.

- Massa and Hamilton fucked up beyond epic lulz levels, Kubica deserves this championship for doing miracles (aka not fucking up as the others have done) with a slower car.

- Renault are quick now for real, great race by Alonso.

- Massa and Hamilton deserved the penalties, but Bourdais' penalty is a joke, fuck you FIA.

- Kimi mathematically out of the championship now, did an ok race after his car was slightly damaged in turn 1 after contact with Kovalainen.

- Surprisingly epic season so far, the only really boring race was Valencia. Too bad the stewards keep on messing with the results.

pretty good race, alonso having a late charge!! great stuff. this has been a pretty good championship this year, really enjoyable. that really is a fucked up penalty for bourdais, there was no way he did anything wrong watching the race, martin brundle said it would be hard to penalise anyone, he had the racing line! brundle said it's becoming like a nanny state now haha. slight tarnish to a good race i think.

Good for 1st and 2nd place... Also good that Raikkonen is out of the championship race.



I know both Massa and Hamilton got penalized. But at the end of the race, they said that after the race mMssa was going to be investigated for another incident. Does anybody know the outcome of that?

that would probably be what happened with bourdais, bourdais ended up getting a 25 sec penalty, bullshit

Is Massa gonna get 10 spots taken from him next race?

oh lame.....

biggest load of crap I've heard all day

quote:

FIA seeking standard engine supplier from 2010 Formula One racing�s governing body, the FIA, has invited tenders for a third party supplier of engines and transmission systems to be used by competitors in the 2010, 2011 and 2012 world championships. However, existing teams and engine suppliers could still be allowed to build their own engines, providing they are to the same standardised design specified by the third party supplier. The move to a single engine is one of several ideas being proposed by the FIA as a means of further reducing costs and increasing competitiveness in the sport, which already has a freeze on engine development.

I really hope Lewis Hamilton wins this one

If I were a mechanical engineer, being on the side lines, monitoring all the technical aspects would be quite a rush; I think all the info is transmitted live from the vehicle directly (live feed) to a computer network.

Same engines would make everything even i guess but i also think thats a horrible idea.


Lame.

Lewis is still very very rough around the edges and is just too cocky and brash..

Always liked massa..and for the underdog to win it this year again would be terrific

Yeah, total bullshit. What's the incentive for a manufacturer to remain in the series? It would be cheaper to run A1GP and there you at least get a copy of an F2004 to race.

F1 is about pushing technology and innovation to be the premier form of motorsport. Limiting the vision of power delivery kills any and all innovation. Why not allow MORE variety and not less? Different engine configurations? Different fuels? I liked the talk of no refueling stops since that would encourage economy. We know it's possible too since during the thirsty turbo era the cars could not refuel mid race at all.

F1 is about cutting edge, not cutting costs.

If they go ahead with this, F1 will end up being some big ticket spec series.
