so what do you guys think about DC retiring?

so what do you guys think about DC retiring?

its about time. Its always sad to see a legend leave the sport but DC needs to move on. His spot will be productive when it is taken up by a young driver.

x2. he's had a good career and will probably stay on as test driver or technical advisor

and its raining for the race. alot of rain expected
and rosberg starting from the back- he had a complete suspension change

nevermind,

over here in the US the channel that usually shows the races live will not show it. Instead, Fox will be airing it at 1 p.m. (when im at work!!). Oh well it doesnt really matter. Its nice to see F1 getting some mainstream coverage

What a result, what a result



Perfect as far as im concerned (except for maybe HK finishing much lower than expected), 3 drivers now on equal points in the WDC with Kubica just 2 behind them.

good job Hamilton

spectacular race

[pantera02018]

agreed very good race. rubens coming through with some great strategy/luck

****in fox in america, the last 10 laps they put in a commercial break every 2-3 laps. they cut the podium ceremony for commercials! ****in pricks. id rather have it back on speed with les commercials and less exposure.

Don't worry its not much better in the UK!

For the past 15 years or so F1 has been air'd on ITV here, who go for ad breaks every 10-15 mins and we miss alot of the race too, fking anoying as fk!!


But! it's all change next year, the BBC have won the rights to air it, and they don't have ad breaks as they're a company funded by the public. (they only have ad breaks between programs, not durin programs)

And since you get the BBC in the US, maybe you guys will also get that benefit

true, Timo Glock surprised me today


Something bad is going with Kimi, Setup problems or maybe he is not motivated enough.

if he keeps this pace for the next 2 races, he can kiss WDC goodbye

and I must say, things doesn't look too good for Massa either

[Pleb]

Mclaren said they've got more new parts coming to Spa too i think

i think he will retire this year. he has stated many times that will drive for as long as he has fun with it, plus he has elready won the WDC. i think he is starting to lose interest.

Mclaren said they've got more new parts coming to Spa too i think

incredible pace of development by mclaren, i guess we can expect to see the beutiful car they had made even uglier at spa

Bordais punished 5 places for holding up Heidfeld.... hmm :]
