not one on track pass
i fast forwarded the last 17 laps... couldn't take it anymore...
this is just a fail of a race...

Vettel losing 2 engines on a race weekend though... that suuuucccckkkssss...

Didn't trulli barge infront of someone early in the race? and in the process clipped their front wing? I think it was RG who was cut off by trulli.

I don't count the opening lap... otherwise there was a lot of passing in the first lap...

Yeah ok fair enough.


I must say though, I didn't find Valencia that much of a bore. last ye I remember falling asleep during the race, but this yr, maybe with the aide of live timing from F1.com it seemed more exciting. I was following the times of the drivers along with the TV and there was stuff that I saw that the commentators missed so it was kinda nice.

So uhm, F1 is becoming less interesting to me by the week. And no Trulli next year?

[vietlol]

Trulli would make an excellent SC driver

He'll get a drive...I'd be surprised if any of the drivers on the grid now can't find a drive for '10. Besides Luca anyways.

It's got little to do with the cars and alot to do with the tracks - how the FIA and Bernie can't see that through their money goggles I'll never know.

Got home half way through a large drinking spell and the last 30 odd laps sobered me up - shocking.

wasnt the GP2 race at Valencia good? thats what I heard, I think the cars are still to blame

[Dr. Jimmmah!]

I did enjoy the new onboard cameras that were on LH and RB's car tho. They need to put those cameras on all the cars stat.

What were these? I don't remember seeing anything special?

[Dr. Jimmmah!]

What were these? I don't remember seeing anything special?

Usually onboard cameras are pretty awful in picture quality. They were testing out "next-gen" onboard cameras on LH and RB's cars.

Heres a comparison:

JB's onboard (old-gen camera):



RB's onboard(next-gen camera):



It looked a lot better on TV than it does in these pics..

I had it on while I was in the middle of dual booting the D630 with Win 7 and it definitely had more action than the F1 race...

I was amazed at the video quality of the cams on woobens and hammys cars!

Do the GP2 cars just use a single diffuser? If so maybe they (F1) need to spec a diffuser that doesn't disrupt the airflow coming off the back of the cars, so we can have good racing like at the first few races this year...

[yonson]

The GP2 race had quite a few on track passes, was weird not seeing Grosjean racing with them though...

spec

[yonson]

you know what I mean...
