yeah it was like 80 degrees there, sun shining, no humidity really nice.3 days earlier it was raining as normal it was weird. We were at copse corner under a cover though. when Alosno came in the pits for a front wing change everyone laughed and booed him. there must have been 5 ferrari fans and a thousnd Mclaren fans in our grandstand lol.

Agreed, right now it looks like the McLaren boys are happy to take what the cars will give them -- I think the RB guys, albeit they certainly have very fast cars, are busy being worried about who is getting preferential treatment, etc.

Found it interesting the McLarens apparently went backwards with the older exhaust setup when the new ones ended up so slow on Friday -- they are acting like a team that wants to win a constructor's championship.

Looking forward to the rest of the season

yeah if Mclaren can keep acting like a team then they're in pretty good shape. I think the red bull guys are going to ruin each others championship hopes at this rate, again they gave each other no room at the start.

When I get home next week ill try and post some pics of the circuit if they are any good.

It's all Vettel if you ask me. I feel bad for Mark.

I agree, I find myself cheering for Webber over Vettel with that team!

shaun66 · 07-12-2010, 12:02 PM

Yeah Vettel is a spoiled muk. hes good, but Webber is just as good to and he deserves it more than him since this is probably one of his last few years in formula 1 to win a championship. I love Webbers attitude when the press asks about the team relations at the moment. Its sad the team will side Vettel all the way since hes been through all the young drivers programs through red bull and would kick out webber first.

Yup. The stuff that's going on within that team is pretty sad.

I think overall Webber is the better driver of the two. He's much smoother and has a cooler head. Vettel is too volatile and he's always breaking the car. Whether he gets better with age... who knows. He's probably the Kyle Busch of F1. Fast as hell but his own worst enemy.

shaun66 · 07-12-2010, 12:18 PM

Yeah i agree 100%. I just hope it doesn't boil over to quick and screw Webbers chances of staying in f1.

Interesting new section to the track, very fast. but it was bumby cause you could see the cars fidgeting during practice and qualifying. Mid corner there is a dip you can see from the grandstands with binoculars. Didn't they know that would be a problem!

I'm curious how the new start/finish (pits) location will work with the track layout and spectator access!! I guess we'll see next year!

shaun66 · 07-12-2010, 03:26 PM

yeah its before abbey (i think cough cough). The new paddock is huge it dwarfs the original one and the one at Spa. So thats why the contract is so long, to make it worth building the new paddock. I don't think it will make any difference coming in to the track, but i don't know about the VIPs.

m4a1mustang · 07-12-2010, 03:28 PM

I'm just glad Silverstone is staying. With all the talk of it possibly leaving the schedule it's nice to know we've got it at least for a while.

F1 desperately needs more historic circuits with character. I would love to see them run at Zandvoort!

shaun66 · 07-12-2010, 04:31 PM

yeah for sure. Silverstone was a full house. I hate hearing about these circuits people want to have as venues that nobody attends or are ever used other than once a year. I just googled Zandvoort looks like a cool track!

kevr6 · 07-12-2010, 04:34 PM

I'm just excited for Texas!! Can't wait!

shaun66 · 07-12-2010, 05:40 PM

Hell its a 2 hour drive from my house!! Me neither!!!
I just hope everything works out and they get the funds to start building it soon otherwise they're gonna run outta time
