Safe Speed Forums

5 Minutes to go to the Canadian GP with Lewis Hamilton on pole.

C'mon Lewis, good luck!!!

Gutted!
I'm looking after my two daughters and have to watch 'A 101 Dalmatians' yet again.

Alonso made an eror off the start and ran wide into the second corner.

Dropped to 3rd.

Hamilton 15 secs ahead in the commercial break.

Cruella has just sent round two hired henchmen to steal the dalmatians and 'nanny' appears to be losing it!

LOL

Loads of incidents in the GP.

2 safety cars, BIG, BIG accident for Kubiza.

Alosno with 10 sec stop/go for pitting under SC

Hamilton still leads

Fed, bathed, teeth done & story read with the speed and technique of a pit team.
Brew made and joining the race with 18 laps to go .
Cheers for the updates Rigpig.

Nice one. Not a bad couple of weeks for British sport.

Kubica's crash was horrific. Quite frankly I thought he was dead. It was a truimph for design that He suvived with a broken leg. I hope that it is an uncomplicaed injury.

Missed the race because of the bloody traffic chaos getting out of the Cosford air show

Will record the highlights though.

How long before Alonso starts throwing his toys out of the pram

How any one can suvive this with a sprained ankle and concussion... ?

Serves you right for going in the first place. I steer weeeellllll clear of Cosford on Airshow day.
Still, next year will be the last one thanks to Des Browne and his toadying to the Welsh Assembly

If you thought that was exciting you should've watched the MotoGP.

Stoner, Rossi and Pedrosa travelling in excess of 100 mph, side-by-side, 3 inches from each other all trying to get in and out of one corner.

Rossi looking over at Stoner and releasing the brake to outbrake him into the first corner.

Add to that a stunning 5th by De Puniet who had a knee the size of a football.

Not to detract from Lewis, I'm glad that there's another Brit in F1 but I find it soooo dull.

Racing should be overtaking on the track, not in the pits

Having watched both races. I must say for the excitement MOTOGP is streets ahead. The 125 race was also a good one with 8 riders covered by about a second for the majority of the race. Bradley Smith did well.

Hamilton had his head screwed on right when dealing with the safety car. Still a fairly processional race, after the first corner, for the leaders.

I did, and I agree, it was superb racing.
I keep telling myself the F1 is really dull, but still find myself drawn to the bloomin' event ebvery other week. And those Maclaren cars look sooooo cool

Hmmmmm.

Correlation between McLaren and the Repsol Honda team......... (and, yes R1, the racing at Catalunya was easily the best of the year so far).......

McLaren has double World Champion Alonso, Honda have current World Champion Hayden. Yet. Both of the team's "spear carriers" (Hamilton and Pedrosa) are regularly besting their "team leaders"

Should be some very interesting races ahead.

Great ride by De Puniet as well (qualifying and race)

And, yes, he has won again!

I heard someone on the radio today saying that despite Lewis' humility, polite manner and obvious talent, that he was a poor role model for young people as he drove a car fast.

I despair of the liberal "intelligensia".

Oh God, not in here as well....

Please, can we keep this a 'Lewis-love-in' free zone? I'm sick of hearing about him everywhere. It is becoming a standing joke among the long term F1 enthusiasts the way ITV coverage can't go more than ten seconds without mentioning him, can't interview anyone at all in F1 without mentioning him, and created a 'tribute' program to him after only 4 races of his career to be shown on ITV's main channel, yet straight afterwards they relegated coverage of the actual sport to their 4th channel.

Apparently they've already crowned him World Champion, and they have him down to take over from Gordon Brown as next PM. Indeed, Prince Charles is rumoured to be thinking of stepping aside for Lewis to become King, and there are rumours Lewis was seen walking across the lake at the McLaren Technology Centre...

Jeez, got a case of the Mondays mate? There's only one thread on this whole board about it, it only has 17 posts and you were under no obligation to click and read it just so you could post to say you're fed up of reading about him; the thread is fairly clearly labelled!

Good old made in Britain sneering cynicism.
Ya can't beat it.

Its just damned refreshing to see a British born talent actually doing well at his chosen sport. Hardly surprising the media are bigging him up, David Coultard, Jenson Button and Tim Henman et al are hardly giving them anything to write about. Only Andy Murray comes close tp showing us some consistent promise.
