It's about time but finally F1 adopts the helmet camera.

Hopefully they move it up a little as it appears to be slightly below the eye line but not by much. Definitly gives a good idea of how little you see in those beasts.
quite surprised how calm and generally quite amount of time there is in there. I was expecting it to be far more rushed, but noticed time to look at the dash take in the numbers and still have time for the corner. I'd imagine thats not the case 5 laps from the end of a race when your exhausted but still.


Would help to answer those, "sorry I did not see you" moments in a few corners of a few past races.

1. Captain, if the problem is not entered into the technical logbook.........then the aircraft does not have a problem.
2. And, if you have time to write the fault on a napkin and attach to it to the yoke.........you have time to write it in the tech log....see point 1.

The rain has thrown a spanner in the works... slicks or intermediates?

Could be a race winning decision...

ITV are really extracting it today with the number of adverts. Last chance to make some money out of an F1 race.............at the annoyance of the fans >:(
Fortunately I can switch to German TV, but the last two sets of adverts have clashed too :'(

Someone forgot to tell the Ferrari pit that it isn't over 'til the fat lady sings. And that fat lady was Timo Glock's tyres.



Brilliant. :)

I'm still waiting for the Stewards Inquiry into Lewis Hamilton causing the race to be delayed by doing a rain dance

I'm still speechless, really speechless..

I have just had a real bollocking from Mrs The-Ex-Pat, my leaping around the sofa and vocal-ness .........I woke both our children up. Anyway, I am off to change my underwear after that last lap and have a beer.
Another 8 and we can say Michael who ;D

Indeed, unfortunatly young Glock lost 3 seconds in the last sector that trulli didn't, inexperience maybe. But oh well.

I was quite happy to accept it up to the last few laps, He had the title won based on what he had to do, cant argue with that.

But now that just has to be the cruelest way to take it from Massa. :'(
