WB - I'm not unfortunately. I've been quite a few times in the past though. I live in China so it bumps the ticket price up a fair bit.

Cookin - you have a strange kind of curiosity but fair enough.
I'll be honest, I don't know much about it (which is bad because my major at university was very much based on this topic) but after googling it for some info, it seems that biofuels are probably not that environmentally friendly. so it wouldn't be an environmentally friendly alternative but rather just an alternative source of energy. But if your going down that route then I would go Nuclear every time.
Did that satisfy your curiosity? Sorry I couldn't offer more info

Nico Rosberg has lost yet another pole this year. What's that? 8 to 1 in qualifying this year, and not a mention or accusation of Rosberg being mentally weak from anyone? Wouldn't accuse you Natny of being one of the accusers, but last year we all all sorts of "rational" arguments from fans (I'm being kind here) as to why Lewis was clearly mentally weaker for being behind on Saturday.

Yes! Where's the mentally weak brigade when you want to rub their noses in if? Hiding! That's where they are! Or else they're still trying to figure out a way that Lewis is mentally weak.......the reason is likely to include jet planes and clutch control

Well Rosberg did the business from second last race. Sure he can do it again.
Also, Rosberg's pace was much better Friday and Saturday (although admittedly I had to here about it through bbc update scripts because China is basically useless) He was way up on his final lap but got a problem with the front of his car.
I would say that so far everything is still indicating the rise of Rosberg.
Apparently Hamilton was texting twitter from the cockpit in qualifying. Doesn't seem like a focussed driver to me. Put your phone down, get a grip and get your head in the game. If F1 were a school, he'd be the div kid at the back that is more interested in texting. Today we will see that when Rosberg gives him a good old fashioned schooling!

Ah yes, F1 fans in countries like North Korea and China tend to have an 'alternative' idea of reality. Maybe they havent worked out that the Google the have is somewhat 'stylised' by Government agencies. We need to treat opinions from fans living behind a curtain with the same tolerance we afford to children who still talk about Father xmas coming down the chimney to deliver their presents I am sure if we all lived inside lalaland we would all insist 8-1 in quali was just as good as 1-2 in quali

Is anyone watching on sky sports f1? just did a really nice tribute to Johnny Herbet.
I didn't know his crash was that bad. You could see his legs hanging out the front of the car.

Apart from qualifying and the start of each session... I would say that so far everything is still indicating the rise of Rosberg. So let's say Massa wins, does that mean the rise of Massa? Apparently Hamilton was texting twitter from the cockpit in qualifying. Doesn't seem like a focussed driver to me. Put your phone down, get a grip and get your head in the game. If F1 were a school, he'd be the div kid at the back that is more interested in texting. Today we will see that when Rosberg gives him a good old fashioned schooling! And yet he still got pole... Matched first sector with Rosberg, comfortably faster in the middle sector and matched in last sector. That was also with a .3+ of time lost with the rear stepping out rather a lot at the start of sector 2

That's twice that Rosberg would have gotten pole had he not messed up his last lap. Would have gotten pole certainly, without doubt, and without reservation. tee-hee.

Mistake number 2 from Hamilton. Pressure already getting to him

Post by CookinFlat6 on Jul 5, 2015 12:59:16 GMT
He could have not pushed and made no mistakes and be back in 4th with Nico
Its hard to understand racing sometimes, but risk reward means calling the balance between being over the limit or on it
Racing isnt about making mistakes its about being in p1,
Instead of try and understand it, maybe better for you can to hope for bad luck for Lewis

Lucky lucky boy with that rain. Rosberg just gave him a quick lesson in how to drive in the wet.
Also, it was a good team move from Williams that got Hamilton in the lead and gave him fresh air. Rosberg has definitely driven a better race so far
