Grosjean banned for 1 race and multiple penalties for Maldo. What a crazy day...

bluenoser 09-02-2012 07:20 PM

Maldonado is such a clown. I don't care if he won a race, that guy is just dangerous and I wouldn't be sad to see him go. As for Grosjean, it looked pretty bad on tv but maybe he really thought he had more room. Those mirrors are pretty tiny. Kind of hard to give someone the benefit of the doubt when it keeps happening though... Lucky for Alonso, could've been much worse.

alcheng 09-02-2012 07:33 PM

Grosjean was clearly in his tunnel vision at that moment, thinking about which line to take to approach the 1st corner and forgot the rest of the world....

I feel bad for Lotus... always something wrong on their weekend...

Maldonado.... maybe he took steroid prior the race or something like that... or he was colorblind on red color.... :facepalm:

Vettel really shows his class, not a big fan if him but his passing skills is right there...

Really looking forward to Monza... :tup:

Do you notice Hamilton didn't seem exciting about winning the race?? He barely walked to the crews after stationed his car.... :confused:

I think he should take a year off and figure what it is he wants.....rap star/media mogul/or F1 racer. He has become a bit annoying.

There's no other place he can go to which 1) The team can afford him 2) Provide a winner car for him.

Red Bull has Vettel and Webber, Ferrari has Alonso and Massa, Lotus has Raikkenon... Mcercedes....mmm.... they don't have a winning car....

Titan1080 09-19-2012 12:51 AM

Anyone pick up F1 2012 yet? COTA is a bit challenging with a lot of blind corners if you're using cockpit view, plus I skipped 2011 so managing kers and the drs is a bit of a handful for me. It's gonna eat up a lot of my time! :-)

Schumacher..... again.....

Trips 09-23-2012 09:21 AM

Yup

looks like he forgot which pedal was the brake again

alcheng 09-23-2012 09:28 AM

After almost 3 years, he still haven't adjusted to battle within the midfield...

DLSTR 09-23-2012 09:31 AM

Wow. Long hard race. Enjoyable overall. Unpredictable year!

alcheng 09-23-2012 09:33 AM

True, the battle on the midfield was exciting, Massa did some nice passing, and Senna.... errr.... he likes touching the wall... And other cars too....

Massa drive of the day. Puncture on turn 1 not his fault. Fights back to get in the points even after Senna forced him into the wall. He knew Massa was there and was stupid. Glad he went out. Karma.

Word is Senna is gone after this year. He is not a stellar driver at all. Needs to find a new series. Bottas to take his place from what Im hearing.

Not nearly as boring as Monaco.

Honestly, I don't understand the hype about Bruno Senna, he is not Ayton Senna, not even close at all, I am surprised he can stay in F1 for this long.... :shakes head:

He looked like a fish out of water today. Driving around on his own without direction. He is too hit and miss. He is gone. Williams need a driver who can get points or they are of no use. They cant afford him to just drive around.

Titan1080 09-25-2012 11:15 PM

Have any of you guys picked up F1 2012? So far I've only had time to lap COTA, a fun track but looks like there may not be very many overtaking spots apart from the braking zones in the straights. Will have to give it a try with some traffic...

alcheng 09-25-2012 11:35 PM

It's a very nice game!! :tup:

I always respect the programmers put so much effort on developing the in-cockpit view, however, to make it realistic, 3 displays is a must in order to obtain the 200 degrees of visual field of human eyes, but it is not realistic to have 3 displays....

Nice game though!! :tup:

Titan1080 09-25-2012 11:49 PM

I wonder if they considered using Kinect to track your head like in Forza 4. I've had ok results with it there and it made for a few laughs as I tried explaining the concept of looking towards the apex to my friends...

alcheng 09-25-2012 11:55 PM

I never tried it in Forza but will you get dizzy quickly since the "view" is moving all the time....?

Titan1080 09-26-2012 12:56 AM

I didn't. It takes some getting used to though and you really need to have a room suited for using Kinect where it can clearly distinguish your head. I have my wheel mounted to a base with an old car seat and with me so close to the floor, the Kinect sometimes loses my head and the view gets stuck looking the wrong way.

alcheng 09-28-2012 03:30 AM

Perez is going to McLaren... :eek: (Confirmed by McLaren)

Hamilton most likely to go to Mercedes..... :eekdance:

Schumacher... move to Sauber?? :wtf2:

I believe he will mostly retire after this season... he's too expensive for Sauber, and too old for battling in the midfield... :eekdance:

According to Schumi's manager they (Mercedes) presented him with a contract extension mid-summer that he did not sign. Apparently he didn't want to commit to drive when he wasn't sure what he wanted to do.

Also, there appears to be a separate bit to Michael's Mercedes contract in which he has the option to stay on in a high-paying advisory role. If he doesn't want to drive anymore I suspect he'll stick with Ross at Merc and help out where he can.

FWIW, Peter Sauber said he'd hire Michael in a heartbeat. Sauber can afford to pay him. So if he wants to drive that's an option.

But he'll probably just retire.

And for 3 years, Mercedes couldn't really design a fast race car, I would wonder if Schumacher would want to take another chance, with his age is climbing up, Mercedes has to have a really good car next year in order to have Schumacher to win some races... and I doubt Mercedes could have a good car next year.....

As for Sauber, even they can afford Schumacher, will he wants to race for a mid-field team...??

I am wondering whose gonna replace Perez in Sauber.... I am also wondering will Wiliams keep Senna for 2013....

m4a1mustang 09-28-2012 01:57 PM

My guess is he won't. Short of Ferrari offering him Massa's seat I don't think he'll be back in a car next year. Not because he doesn't want to drive but because there are no competitive options.

And I don't even know if he'd go to Ferrari considering they forced him out at the end of '06 to make way for Kimi. And we all know how that worked out for them.

alcheng 09-28-2012 02:13 PM

Top four, McLaren, Ferrari, Red Bull and Lotus won't have room for Schumacher, Ferrari won't dropped Massa, he is cheap and good relationship with the team, obedient, plus, why Ferrari would put two champs in one team, they always favorite one.

Red Bull has Vettel and Webber. Lotus, they have Kimi, and they need a title sponsor for next year too as Lotus is pulling out, I bet they'll go back to "Renault" next year...

What left is Sauber and Williams (If Williams is smart enough to drop Senna..)

But I doubt Schumacher will sign a mid-field team....

Bye Bye Schumy.... :tiphat:
