Watching it on Sky HD recorded, after old firm, watched F1 years ago when it was Hill etc. It's great to see it's just as exciting now, watching them standing about as it pisses down.

What do people think of the BBC highlights packages? I'm pleasantly surprised... they basically show the whole race and all of Q3, and when the race stops for nearly an hour they cut it out.
I'm more upset by the new commentator than the change in format. He talks too much... how come he's taking the lead as the new boy, rather than Cooltard?Originally posted by MaryPoppinsI'd still not breastfeed a naziOriginally posted by vetranUrine is quite nourishingComment

At that point he was told on the radio "Don't take a risk, we need second place" (there wasn't a risk). So a few seconds later he ran wide at a corner to lose a couple of seconds, then held station to the end.
P1ssed me off.
It's only a coincidence that Perez's team are getting their engines from Ferrari.Last edited by Doggy Styles; 26 March 2012, 09:40.Comment

Nobody would go off like that on purpose (if they want to finish in 2nd), it's far more risky. He wouldn't need to manufacture it either, he could just tailgate Alonso and claim he couldn't find a safe overtake - which they are allowed to tell him to do.Originally posted by MaryPoppinsI'd still not breastfeed a naziOriginally posted by vetranUrine is quite nourishingComment

I'm not sure if having the same engine supplier allows you to use team orders but, even if allowed, people don't like it. There is also a lot of talk about Perez replacing Massa at Ferrari, so he may as well get used to not being allowed to overtake Alonso.+50 Xeno Geek Points

Originally posted by Zippy View PostNo, he was very careful and simply drove off the track where there was a good run-off area. It looked manufactured to me.

Who knows, very odd given just how much faster he was, and how short of money and sponsors Sauber are right now...Comment

Originally posted by Doggy Styles View PostWZMS, especially coming 30 seconds after he was told to back off. In the position he was in before he went wide he couldn't help but overtake Alonso, and to not do so would have looked strange.Will work inside IR35. Or for food.Comment
