F1???, what is up with this?

[jrpilot]

6 car start, come on, sad day for F1.  :-/

pff......



Six cars only?
and the usual tree crashed right?

[Craig.]

check in autos
Far as i am concerned time to fire alot of michelin workers. I dont care ferrari just need to make it to the end, i dont want the win this way. They couldnt build a chicane just not possible. this will ruin F1 in the US i am sorry for the fans there.

The fans are throughing things on the track, how much are tickets to this race?

[Craig.]

upwards of $100 for most seats.
Throwing things on the track is not on. i understand they are upset but that could kill a driver.

Any "Fan" of motorsport would'nt do such a thing.

Mindless idiots is how I'd describe them.
Regardless of motive, throwing an object onto a race track could have tragic concequences.  >:(

Paul, Happy F1 fan.  :-*

[Craig.]

good god that was a tough race for Ferrari. A win that was well fought and much deserved. I was seriously worried about the Jordans they were closing fast.
Muahahaha

it doesn't allow for throwing things on to the track for the people who are actually performing for them

btw tickets start at $80 for the nosebleed seats!

[Craig.]

alot of money either way. Moreso for those who traveled from mexio or the UK as some did. Even the west coast or southern states.
Bman who does the F1 coverage in the US and who are the commentators? I am assuming it isnt the UK crew, but i ask as they do broadcast the uk show to various parts of the world.

SpeedVision here.  Peter Windsor, Bob Varsha, Steve Matchett, and David Hobbs

from a team statement.
Kind of ironic

All the teams are confident in Michelin and trust their advice as we know they are competent and responsible.

ha, just talked to my friend who went to the race and said 10 laps into the race 65% of the people around him left, very po

CBS sports do a couple of races (4 i think) but the majority are done by SPEED TV  (aka the NASCAR channel which is a satilitte/cable channel, they actually do have some good programing). their analysts and f1 commentators are quite good (most speek with a transatlantic accent), and this race was given to SPEED TV to cover

[Craig.]

thanks. It was the US TV company who produced the race which sort of explains the extra onboard shots.
The big plus of the 6 car race. We actually got to listen into the Ferrari radio communications. They usually ban that, and not only that, it was info like fuel and tactics, again something that all teams ban. While the race was a disastor its always nice to get a new insight to the sport.

i guess we saw some interesting things from the race, but i must say that the actuall thing was not only a disappointment, it was very boring (for an f-1 race)
