Shanghai Grand Prix

[Implement]

First two practice sessions, well well, look who's competing now :rolleyes:

[Skajo]

Well it's called practice for a reason but anyway, Hamilton is 13th fastest :S

[Implement]

1st practice session he was 1st. 2nd practice session he was 13th, again, please learn to read.

ever heard of the phrase - "practice makes perfect" ? obviously NOT.

[Skajo]

No, obviously not as it doesn't seem practice is doing the kid any good. Once again, it is only practice, it means scruff all.

[Blinger1]

Yo what the ****? Mark Webbers car is running decent this season!?

[CJW93]

Webber has a decent car. Looking better for Hamilton. I love the red button on bbc watch every session live (Y). The Ferrari's are again struggling. Always nice to see. Heiki isn't running with the intern diffuser unlike Hamilton, but after yesterday I think both car will run it with in qualifying.

[Blinger1]

I think he has finally been upgraded. It is nice to see tbh.. he has been in so many crap cars.. Ever since he joined the F1s he has hardly even won OR finished..

[CJW93]

He has finished alot of races. What are you on about?

[Blinger1]

A lot of the time he DNF.. At least every time i saw the results he was DNF.

[CJW93]

Do you even watch it?

[Bun]

go on jensen you beast.

[Implement]

@Creat:ve; yeah, you seem to know everything about any sport including F1, don't you? :rolleyes:

And yeah I can see it being a battle between Hamilton and the Brawns! Go Button&Hamilton.

[Skajo]

**** yeah I forgot that practice determines who wins the world championship. Silly me.

[Implement]

Determines how well the cars perform on the track on race day and gives us a good look-in on how improved the cars are before the race/qualifying. *****.

[CJW93]

Practice is to get the balance of the car correct, try out new parts on car. For example Ferrari didn't run Kers today, Hamilton ran a new front wing. Practice can be an indication about pace.

[Implement]

Thank you for clarifying my point.

[CJW93]

You watching practice tonight?

Qualifying in 20 minutes. Red bull have an issue with their drive shafts. Hamilton and Kubica both have new engines for this weekend

[Implement]

is it just me and you that are up for the race? anyone else out their?!

[CJW93]

Everyone else is to scared :P

[Implement]

I'll be up at seven for the race tomorrow :).

[CJW93]

I might wake up for it, because its getting recorded on sky+ anyway.

Or I'll set my ipod alarm, to deafen me at around 6:45

[Skajo]

Yep, Lewis Hamilton is really competing now after picking up, erm, 3 points.

Tell you what though, it does make it interesting how both McLaren cars finished up the grid for a change.

[Implement]

Hamiltin is competing obviously, he could have finished 5th maybe 4th if the ran hadn't of got so bad that he spun towards the end.

It's gonna' be very interesting, don't think Red Bull will be competing just yet, as Ferrari & McLaren are bound to catch up, even the Ferrari had a **** weekend, and McLaren certainly improving vastly since the last race.

I'd say it's between Brawn GP and McLaren for the constructors title.

And I think it's got to be between Hamilton & Button for the Championship, how good is that, two British drivers going for the title, great! :)

Who cares? ******* Mark Webber finished 2nd, ******* amazing! Highest he has ever finished!!!!!!!!!1

[Implement]

Don't like Vettel now, he's getting a bit cocky cause his won a couple of races, one of which was in the rain...

Fair play to Webber though.

I was hoping button would crash, just saw webber had an easier race.. DAMN U BUTTON!

[Implement]

Button crash? pfft, that's normally Webbers job.

[Blinger1]

Button crash? pfft, that's normally Webbers job.
No ****, thats why I hoped Button would crash, so Webber wasn't under so much pressure...

[Implement]

They were always gonna' run away with it as they were the fastest cars over the whole weekend anyway.

[Blinger1]

The race was so bad though, the conditions, you would hate to have been in the slip stream trying to overtake someone, you wouldn't have seen ANYTHING!

[Implement]

Very true, I've had enough of wet races already this year, no more please!

[Blinger1]

Very true, I've had enough of wet races already this year, no more please!
Before i saw this race i thought "brilliant, more crashes"... but i dunno, i prefer dry races TBH!

[Implement]

Yeah, a couple of wet racers are always good, but they do get boring after a bit.

[Blinger1]

Wet should not mean the amount of water spraying up infront of the drivers ahead, just so they slip and slide a little ;)

[CJW93]

Hamilton would of been all over Rubbens if he didn't keep going on his tours off the circuit.

[Jam]

In the words of the commentator;
