colsoop Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 That really suprised me how unreliable the teams were, i know it was hot but surely they do some extended heat testing don't they ? I like the new changes to the cars with no traction abs etc. You can really see them moving around which is great to watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Epic Posted March 16, 2008 Author Share Posted March 16, 2008 If you havnt watched it then you shouldnt have clicked on the post lol, it kinda warns you when i put F1 rather than the winner as the post topic lol And yeh when they were doing the in car cams you could see they were fighting with the back end alot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesmark Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 Thanks for those who totaly spoiled it for me today with your posts. You should have got up to watch it, or not turned on the internet. The event was in the past. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz Walker Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 Like I said before, Hamilton will beat Raikkonen this year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Epic Posted March 16, 2008 Author Share Posted March 16, 2008 You should have got up to watch it, or not turned on the internet. The event was in the past. Only a small amount of people got up to watch it. Just coz you got up doesnt mean everyone else did n that you should ruin it. Im sure many people will agree, even with this post i have not pointed out the winner as its just not as fun watching the race if you know the outcome. Added: Its like if i watched "Lost" in USA then come over here and told everyone the ending or what happens they would get well anoyed as they would want to find out for them selfs. im sure you understand Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamesmark Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 Only a small amount of people got up to watch it. Just coz you got up doesnt mean everyone else did n that you should ruin it. When did I say I got up to watch it? :search:It is not hard to cut yourself off from the world so that you do not find out the result. I had to do it several times last year, it is hard but can be done. I do agree on posting on a title though, that should not be done.

RiceRocket Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 Well done Hammy but who was that driving the Ferrari with a 1 on it? And to the Honda lollipop man, get yourself down to SpecSavers! Also I wonder if Massa had the s*** kicked out of him yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sean1933 Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 Brilliant race, didnt see much of Hamilton but some interesting events/crashes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedM Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 Right. To prevent a huge number of F1 related posts on a scale only surpassed by Top Gear reminders let's make this THE thread to talk about F1. If you don't want to know what's happened then don't read it until you've watched the qualifying or the race. If we can keep adding to the thread with each new race it'd be much appreciated.

johnny g Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 Ruined for me by James Allen - did get up and watch it though. Cracking race. Much more like it. Raikonnen was just not at the races today, excuse the pun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don't want to know what's happened then don't read it until you've watched the qualifying or the race. If we can keep adding to the thread with each new race it'd be much appreciated. You need 1 thread per race not 1 thread. For instance people like to discuss what might happen in a race before but after qualifying. They wont go in this thread with the title, may contain spoilers. I think there should be one thread per thread...well thats my 2p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
