F1 Round 8: European GP *Please No Spoilers!*

What no pic's???

cool pics again Seth..........and the ones from Lemans were awesome too!!!! whos' winnin this weekend??? I'm thinkin Alonso gonna have extra mojo here.............

Thanks for those (and the Delta Wing ones) How the hell can that be a realistic proposition for a race car? Shades of Reliant Robin for sure!!!

A super sporty one



And THE most famous one.....

I think I'd like to see Button win this weekend - he's due some (good) luck.

I caught some Indycar the other week. Road circuit where the tarmac/asphalt started lifting out of the track! I couldn't believe the track or how ugly and toy-like the cars looked. The didnt seem to handle very well either. Bouncing about all over the place.

would be cool to keep the streak going if Button won.........8 for 8!! well being F1 guys never gonna like IRL stuff but I think the new car has definitely made the racing better as it's not just a Ganassi/Penske fight every week, for me anyways...........

brain fade........or my age kickin in.....LOL!! forgot about that.............would love to see Kimi win........

Sure glad there is an F1 race this weekend, even though i really needed a little break from MX, got a big case of burnout and it is only rnd5!

F1 and even NASCAR is on a road course this weekend (Infenion)

Practice times, something fishy going on... the MAC's sure are down pretty far on the sheet in P2, guessing doing long runs? My RB guys have a big updated package this weekend, but both drivers are saying they are suffering at race pace. Gonna be an interesting weekend!

Does anyone else think that the pit lane buildings at Valencia are the most elegant anywhere?

Vettel on pole from Hamilton. Webber in 19th!!!

I just went to make sure my Media Center had the race set to record, only to realize that this is another eff'ed up delayed broadcast on FOX instead of live on Speed...im so PO'd!!

Doesnt air until 9amPST! So if any of you guys get to see it air live at 5am, pls dont spoil the results for us...pritty please!!! Unless anyone knows of a good live stream?

Hell, i even took a nice long nap today planning to be up all night to watch it live..LAME!! These Fox broadcasts are a lot like watching SX on CBS, fully dumbed down for the common folk / laymen.

Sory about the practise thing, won't happen again. I'm suprised that Fox's coverage is poor since the same parent co' (News Corp) owns Sky, which has an entire HD channel devoted to F1 here - superb coverage. What with that and the BBC's excellent coverage theres no need for us to look for anything on the internet.

B.t.w. Who does the commentary on the Speed broadcasts?

Varsha, Hobs and Matchett They are an awesome team and do an excellent job, but for the Fox shows they simplify things and over explain everything.

Luckily we only have to deal w/ the Fox delayed shows 3 or 4 times a year. Everything else is live on Speed. Fox doesnt even have pre and post shows, the show begins with the very start of the race, and ends right at the checkard flag. but this year they now have 30min shows on Speed before and after the Fox races that do all the interviews (post) and pit lane stuff (pre).

Quite a race going on here - talk about your ups & downs.

(We have it live in Canada )

OK, I'm updating that with a Holy Crap, and a Wow !

Wow, helluva race. Unbelievable!!!

Post race is on NOW on Speed.

yea it was amazing!! totally gutted over Seb though. Amazing season, and that race was freakin WILD!! Hamilton is such a doooooosh! Great to see Schumi on the box! and Kimi too. also gutted for Grossjean.

There is just a whole lot to like about this season!

Top Gear Space Shuttle...

Didn't think F1 could ever be that exciting in the modern age. Amazing season so far.

The Lotus gets better each race.
I guess we can look forward to more of Kimi's lively post race interviews.

Amazing race! F1 really figured it out. Ferrari is killing it again. Finally. Been quite the drought. Sorry to see Seb have engine problems. Red Bull are far more profitable than Ferrari or McLaren. Time to make their own engines and become a real "constructor". Just my opinion of course.
