Agree D Richardo has had no lap time at all must be very frustrating for him and Red Bull.

Agree D Richardo has had no lap time at all must be very frustrating for him and Red Bull.
After a crepe start [crash on first corner] it seems they
are settling in for the run to the finish line.
DR is doing OK and saving tyres according to commentators
All over boring as watching paint dry, oh yeah Lewis Hamilton won , our Daniel came in sixth
Gave up half way through, it's a speed trial not a race, boring as bat crap. I really enjoy racing, this was just a procession, they should have stayed in the parade lap cars at least Dan was first in that!Quote:

The big man ARNIE stole the show on the podium saying "I'll be back" classic Glod
Saw that, thought he was going to waffle on and lose the plot. He didn't and was a grin. Dropped the "line" at the right moment, he's a legend.
boring as hell race, best sounding car was the minardi 2 seater whichis still 2003? spec. the new cars a quiet and just dont get eh crowd going
Pretty shitful sound now, but a 350kph 1.6litre engine out of an Hyundai Excel is pretty good.
They have to do something about that. Screaming V8's and V10's were awesome.Quote:

Wish I`d known you were going to be there Tony as we could have caught up.
The FA/18 display was the best I`ve seen at any race, so low you read the instruments and the inverted pass was fantastic
Went to a dinner put on by the AGPC for company's who have been involved with the Australian GP for the last 20years and hand a ball( our company has done all 31 GP`s. The boss received a great book on the history of GP`s in Aust) I enjoyed my 4 weeks there but the race was a bit disappointing as it`s suppose to the the pinnical of motor sport .
I did wonder if you would be there and thought you would see this thread, I should have called you or sent a PM.Quote:

Now no German race, poor old Bernie must have found another way to gouge a few million from someone.
dont get me wrong was still a fun day out with the boys but wouldnt be going if id had to pay for a ticket, we were on the hill just before the chicane on the back straight. was good fun pinching tables to stand on until security came a ruined it for everyone lol. oh and hats of to whoever supplied the tables we had about 15 blokes standing on one and it held even with the crazy finish guys jumping around
billyj I had 2 4day passes to give away and I`ve still got them. I am lucky enough to work there with access everywhere and this year the whole event was disappointing, apart from the aerial displays which were the best I have seen, the rest was very slow and dare I say boring. The best day is always Wednesday when they do the safety car and medical chase car tests
But even these guys were tame compared to last year, where at turn 3 the medi station wagon actually got halve a car under the coupe chase car and both had the ABS working overtime. When the tyres and brakes went away they were still hitting turn 3 sideways, with speeds in-excess of 120kph
