Nope it used to be VERY long...and cool

 

I do miss watching them fly down that tree lined section....

.

 

I had no volume on the SKY feed...anyone else
my red car is on pole ...YEEEEHHHHAAAAAA

 

Good race although I do hope the stewards go in Jensons favour.



Vettel...... Naughty naughty !!!


Just heard that it was 10 years ago they shortened the track, shame as the speeds they got up to we're amazing.
Must have missed a few races here as I didnt realise it was that short.

 

I could have swore that the F1 race starts in 1 2/3 hours ? How can you be watching it now ?

 

Just watched it live on sky in the uk, didn't realise you guys don't always get a live feed. I won't post up the results then lol

 

Doesn't that figure ! I could have been watching the race earlier instead of watching it 1 1/3 hours from now. Hopefully this doesn't interfer with the NASCAR race this afternoon...

 

Do watch it ...STILL worth it

I am smiling

 

I'm grinning ear to ear.

I was very worried that Alonzo's tires are going to go away on the closing laps but he was able to hang in there to the end. Pole and wire to wire.

Boy do I suck at this...the laps are in order form one to...

It shows after he finished whacking his front wing and getting back on track with some new bits on the front...he had very good race pace...telling me the car is improving....he will need that pace to take points away form FA's four main guys that are now after his ***

I have attempt to make them a bit more easy to categorize my coloring...not by sector but by different times of he race...colored for your enjoyment in comparing

 

Well that was great! Alonso got a perfect start, took care of his tires and kicked ***! Button locked up that r-front or he might have presented a challenge late in the race. Massa just mis-judged the closing rate and it cost him big time.

Didn't have a chance to watch on Sky.... Damm Fox didn't air the post-race interview so I won't see that till Tues.

Fri is Hungary; I wonder what the chances are that we will have a dry track BOTH for Qualifying and the Race......

.

 

Thanks for all that work Tim, it made sense to me. Lap times were very close except the first two.

The overhead view showed clearly [although it happened in a spit second,] that the guy in front of Masa slowed dramatically right when he would have been expected to accelerate. And I think it was a chain reaction from someone else ahead slowing. I saw Masa as a victim in that incident that cost him dearly.

 

Sorry, getting about 2 or 3 hrs sleep in the last month due to family issues. Doing a 5hr drive this morning to change out a fuse.... but...

I did see that happen in replay and that guy slowing quickly was why Massa misjudged the closing rate. Thanks Bruce for the better explanation!

And Tim. I don't think you can make column's like you wanted without Hours & Hours of work! I'm sure just presenting the change from the first post to the second took quite and effort!!!

Massa's finish didn't reflect his drive after wing replacement. He'll be on the podium b4 the end of the season.
