livestream of practice!

new season! glad to see Canada on the map!

Lotus and Virgin 7 seconds off the pace in FP1, but Hispania with the cake. 3 laps total without setting a time, nice installation laps, then Senna 13 seconds off the pace and Chandhok hasn't done a lap yet.

Anyone else think they totally fucked the track aswell, S1 is 30 seconds, S2 is 60 and S3 is 23 seconds 0_o.

[redX]

i'm sure the first race is gonna be spectacular!

meh not so, what a boring ass race

i hope this won't hold true for the rest of the season

[semaj]

yeah, it was quite the snooze fest

and poor vettel

[jaac]

Bahrain is fucking awful. The tracks so plain to look at aswell, doesn't help the racing was pretty boring aswell. Melbourne should have atleast 1 safetycar which will make things interesting. I'm really not sold on this no refueling, atleast there was some overtaking after the second pitstops due to difference in car weights.

i don't follow F-1, but I've been doing fantasy nascar, it's pretty fucking amazing

yeah, bahrain has always been one of my least favorite races.

I also don't like the refueling ban, the first few laps looked so slow on television.

looking forward to Melbourne tho

[redX]

also the track in bahrain is way too long, apparently the infield twisty section is as long as the whole brazil track. wtf is up with that. and it's such an unspectacular track, soooo boring to look at

ok so now there are 5 germans on the grid lol i guess we should be scoring a first place every other race

shitty photo from qualifying yesterday. Weber set a great laptime early in Q3 but Vettel just smoked the course to do sub 124. Pretty awesome to watch, the last 4 turns were like watching a bull-rider at a rodeo. He's got serious talent. Looking forward to this afternoon. What's everyone's thoughts on the season so far?

What's everyone's thoughts on the season so far?

so far shit i hope to change my mind tomorrow

[Magsåvningsreserven]

^exactly .

[Tyro1]

hahah, fair enough, I'm hoping it is more competitive than last year, it sort of felt like shelbyville F1

[semaj]

its raining!

[Tyro1]

oh shit vettel

[semaj]

holy shit, what a race!

also

[polishmike]

loved it. going to sleep now, but fuck this was great.

[jaac]

That was fucking excellent. That's what every race should be like, best race in ages. So many SMH moments though, webber, random pittings, kobayashi's wing falling off. I bet hamilton flips his shit, his worst weekend in ages haha, questioned by police, fucked qualy and then "whose call was it to bring me in, that was a terrible idea". Kubica always makes me

[semaj]

vettel must be crushed

2 poles in 2 races, but the car let him down twice.

i think he'll make a comeback tho!

[redX]

downloading the race coverage from bbc, man i'm so excited

damn great race, and red bull has some serious reliability issues they need to get sorted if they want to win a championship, let alone a single race

[semaj]

intense f1 training

[jaac]

Qualy was so good, Mclaren and Ferrari fucked up so bad, gonna lead to a really interesting race at the back of the grid tommorow. Hopefully Webber sticks it out for another win.

[semaj]

this season is getting better and better!

finally vettels' car pulled it together

epic heel click!

and alonso is just a beast.

[redX]

fuckitty fuck fuck, i can't download the bbc broadcast until tomorrow evening, must stay away from this thread

[jaac]

Ferrari totally shooting themselves in the foot again with Massa holding Alonso up, he's gonna flip his shit soon. I dislike Hamiltons personality but fuck can he drive or what. Gotta say after the first race at Bahrain there has been a lot of overtaking, looks like it should be another really good championship for the 4th year in a row.

[jaac]

vettel

"save fuel guys" was pretty funny.

[redX]

fuck vettel man stupid kid, i was rooting for him so hard

another good one was schumi going "2mm of rain? what does that mean?"

[Tyro1]

I like Vettel, but he is too much of a hot head, needs to be smarter

[jaac]

Reminds me of Hamilton 2 years ago, heaps of stupid mistakes lately. Also fuck red bull for spinning this "webber's fault" bullshit, i hope he wins a title and bounces with the #1.

[redX]

imo it's both of the drivers fault. webber should have realized that vettel had passed him and should have given him more room to finish his pass.
