itv 10.30 am

 

looking forward to this. Is it 1 lap qualifying still?

 

no its a nock out type format i think with 20 min sessoins

 

I can only watch the first 30min then iv'e got to go to work

It is overtime, so plenty of money

Steve.

 

Ahhhh....bout time, I'm off downstairs!!

 

Go jenson

And good luck to Williams with their cosworth engine

 

did u see the clip of schuey at 200mph adjustin brake bias jesus

 

kimis broke it

 

Was getting right into it until this stupid last session. Driving round in ccircles and tokens WTF !!

 

even better this yr, with steve ryder and v8s back. reminds me of 1989 again

 

PMSL at "tiger tokens"!!!

I like the first two sessions of the new qualifying format...maybe they're worried about A1

Thought Massa was superb pushing Schuey all the way and Button did a good job

 

Forza ferrari.

 

that german toss pot hope we had seen the last of him much better with him out of the running

 

why is that coz he usually wins?

 

Schumacher is truely the kiddy,

but, 200 mph down to 45 MPH for the first corner..

in less than 3 seconds

(bear in mind 200 mph you cover 90 meters Per second )

truely amazing things them F1 cars!

 

Missed qualifying as I was still asleep

Excited to see what the new cars are like especially as they're all running 2.4ltr v8's. How they get that amount of horsepower out of these engines never ceases to amaze me

Edited, cheers spacehopper

 

they are running 2.4 litres v8 revving to 19000 rpm. as for shummacker i think he is an arogant tosser and ferari spat thier dummies out about tyres last year thats why you can now change tyres again just cis they were crap with the one tyre rule we all know eckelstone is a ferarri fan oh wot a suprise

 

so pleased to see ferrari back with some pace, they really have put some work in over the winter break

we will see how the race pace is tomorrow

 

Say what you want Schumacher can drive!

Those F1 cars are mental, this time round they are down 200bhp, V8's instead of v10's and 2.4litres......still doing unbelievable speeds!!!!

 

can see mclaren being the fastest again this yr though.........and the most unreliable

Thank you

 

if i were 7 time champ id be arrogant

 

I would imagine cutting engine size has nothing to do with cutting costs. As far as I can tell it's so each team has to develop a completely new engine therefore making it alot more even at the start of the season.

 

No doubt they will be back near the figures they were at before soon they were saying the cosworth engine revs to over 20,000rpm imagine a road car doing that the sound would be immense

 

went to silverstone last year, the sound and grip you can see from the cars is immense.

nice to see buttons in 3rd

anyone got a pic of what an F1 engine actually looks like?

 

only saw the 1st session,what the flocks the 3rd session about? seems odd from what ppl put above

 

after 1st session Slowest 6 cars are knocked out (they start Last 6 on the grip)

2nd session the Slowest 6 are knocked out ( they start just in front
of the 6 knocked out in 1st round)

3rd session is all the rest of them doing normal qualifying!

each session is 15 mins long.

(thats far as i can make out anyway)

 

Nice to see Schuey back in the running. I laugh at those who dont want him in. What sore losers However it is boring to see him win over and over. I like the Hakinnen days when it was either of them boys for the win

RW

 

10 pounds says the Red cars come in for fuel after 12 laps, i think they are running low fuel, Alonso win i for see.

Jenson will be in the top 3 if he does not have any problems . I dont see MS winning

 

yes I am a anal F1 fan
