Race Result

OMG look at the shape of that 1st post :lol: yet again the GS posting thing has manage to make a hard time of the easiest things :P

I'll be watching it live. ;) :Dkipi19

did u manage to see the malaysian gp? 

Well, I am quite surpise by the performance of Renault. I know there is the problem with the tyre but I thought they would be more competitive. I guess it shows that the driver is an important part of the winning equation.

But since I am a Ferrari fan, I could not complain about those reault. :)

how did you manage to put the ranking table in all neat and tidy like that, i tired all morning but the names were all over the place and never in proper ordermjk1

I just copied the times from the link you gave me in the other thread. It may look untidy in the posting window, but it will turn out the way its supose to when you submit it.

The live timing for Fri practice 2 is now on for anyone thats interested.  BlaZe_irl

hamilton did well, maybe he's on for podium no 3  

As you know, Hamilton could make F1 history this weekend by being the only driver to get a podium in is first 3 races as a F1 driver.

Supposing the scenario where Alonzo is third and Hamilton is fourth with about 10 laps to go. Do you think that Alonzo and/or McLaren will find a way to let him pass, expecially if he is close to Alonzo ?

 I don't think that Alonzo will allow that and even if he did, on could argue that it will not be a "true" record.

I doubt anybody would really care about that record. Sure, its a nice achievement, but not something worth risking the championship over. Plus AlonSo would never let a rookie by without a fight, no one would. Well, except Massa who would end up on the grass at some point.

Hahahahahaha :)

I would have swear that it was a "z" but you are right. Sorry :oops:

I would put it on the fact that English is my second language. ;)

English : Dumbest language ever.

That said its the only one I can speak competently :D:P 

ok lets try not to turn this topic into another language thread :lol:

[QUOTE="BlaZe_irl"]The live timing for Fri practice 2 is now on for anyone thats interested. mjk1

hamilton did well, maybe he's on for podium no 3

yeh, Kubica did well too, only 2 tenths off the pace and beating Massa. Can he continue that pace in qualy? 

Well we're in for a great race 2moro, looks like hamilton and massa are slightly lighter than raikkonen and alonso. And again heidfelds worth a mention

ITVs new record - exactly 6.32 seconds after the opening intro, Steve whatsisname switches the focus to hamilton. Good job he didnt get the pole or James Allen would of sh!t himself :lol:

Sorry triple post but - Dont all post at once, we've only got a 4 way fight for the win tomorrow, nothing to be excited about eh? :roll:BlaZe_irl

yep nothing

BlaZe_irl

& we are going to hear a lot more of that tomorrow, i was a good qauly, with alsonso battling with kimi and massa with hamilton this should be an exciting race.

I can't believe I am the only one who voted for Massa :question::question::!

We were voting for the best qualifying time, were we ;)

Seriously, I hope he will have the "nerves" to stay on top and prove himself. It is now or never, I guess.

Well dude, I was the only one when I wrote the message 8)

*For sure* ... you knew that :)

That being said ... I can't wait for that first corner !!

I'd love to see Hamilton win this one, with Alonso second,I think that would befront page worthy here in the UK.
I'm also hoping that Renault do well as I'm a McLaren Renault man in a great world it'd be 
1. Hamilton
2. Alonso
3. Fisichella

I know the oddds are very high but it'd be nice for once to see a podium without Ferrari. I hope that Davidson (a Superi Aguri driver)
gets in the top 10 as I think they have potential. 

but surely he cannot make another mistake ?.mjk1

Well actualy mate he will 8) look at this

also, I would kick ur @ss in a fight :lol: j/k :P

yup, i dont think he'll lead after the first corner if we take the previous 2 races into account.....but surely he cannot make another mistake ?.mjk1

I afraid you are going to be right but people tend to forget that he has won 2 races at the end of last year. He certainly has the potential to win.

Well, Googlefight seems to have a tough decision on this one

kipi19

thee almighty googlefight has spoken! Hamilton shalt not make a mistake! 

Be funny if he did now wouldnt it :P 

I'm curious to see what is up with Davidson in that Super Aguri, I can't recall a Super Aguri running that well ever.icytower38

They are running what is effectively last years Honda, and that motor was running quite nicely towards the end of the season

Well that would explain some of it. Of course Davidson has dome some miracle work in the past explaining the other half of it.

Certainly Honda's chassis!!! But I LIKE IT cuz one more team can beat red bull wich means more passing on track!!!!

Its looking like an exciting race but I dont see Coulthard going very far. Nor the Hondas.

Note to Aguri Suzuki: DO NOT ACCEPT THIS YEARS HONDA CHASSIS NEXT YEAR!

:P:P:P:P:P:P:P:P:P:P:P:P:P
