In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) and Imran (@Annihilate Now!) are here to discuss Amad saving our blushes in a win against Southampton as well as our now annual loss at home to Brighton. They discuss Amorim's post-match comments, revisit how mid-table we may or may not be, and discuss some transfer news.
Very good drive from Petrov too.
WTF Webber?
WTF Webber?
What the feck was up with Webber's car then? Just parked it casually on the grass as you come out of the pits with steam/smoke coming out of it
Seems like Vettel has a lot of fans here.
The smoke was off the brake discs, perfectly normal
So its your first GP and you go and do an entire pitstop less than your teammate and several world champions. Fecking hell.
Petrov or Perez for driver of the day? Very hard choice.

Webber has never any luck in his home race at Australia. His highest place is 5th back in 2002 and now in 2011.
Considering the package it has to be Perez
again not my fav drivers , but can admit to him being an excellent driver
Petrov parking behind Vettel. You can tell it's the first time he's got on the podium.Perez for me .
Petrov 
Alonso must just love him right now

Was intriguing today. Not a classic but interesting to see how the strategies played out.
Will be boring again once the teams figure out the optimal strategies.
KERS and ARW didn't really bring much to the plate.

Well I heard the German anthem so many times for Schumi. Nothing new there.
Sorry but I wish Nicole Shirtswinger would piss off
Doesn't help when you get t-boned by an idiot either.
First race, but I think they will get better
Red Bull had no KERS all weekend!
Wow that's amazing. No KERS all weekend. And still their starts were brilliant.
His car is just not good enough to compete with the top contenders.
Sorry Martin, but it was pretty fecking obvious Jenson needed to let Massa back past, that's your job to tell him not blame the FIA for not telling you!
Christ Webbers got a square jaw.
Petrov looks a bit creepy there at the press conference
I think he is still coming to terms with finishing on the podium. He must be shell shocked at the moment.
Wonder if Hamiltons teeth can glow in the dark???
That beard thing Hamilton has going on frames his face so it looks like it's stuck on, he kind of looks like Robocop
I love Mika Hakinnen's press conferences. He was funny.
True enough, but in the shot they had earlier of the three of them, he was doing something weird with his hands and his eyes looked really big as he was looking in Hamilton's direction
Also...they've just managed to mention Kubica again in relation to Petrov
Not the most interesting race was it, I guess about expected for the first race.
Most interesting part was Red Bull admitting they ran without KERS, now you can say wow thats amazing but I think its fair to say its not a big disadvantage at this stage of the season like 09 showed and you can really be much better on the brakes. I think by not compromising on design to fit it in Red Bull might regret it in the longer run because if they are not sure about it it might be unreliable if/when they stick it on and then they have the whole brake balance difference with it.
McLaren much better than expected, first race distance they have done in the car and without issues I think they were not that far off Red Bull, although still think Red Bull won't be matched until we at least get into the European leg.
Driver of the day, Perez.

Whitmarsh should be a politician with that blame shifting
I get the impression that Redbull are running a smaller Kers system thus reducing weight of the device. Who needs Kers when your car is that fast through the corners?
well they were not running it at all this weekend, horner said they took it off on friday
Both Saubers thrown out of GP for rear wing infringements. What a shame.
both saubers kicked the feck out

Fecking MSC.
Hmm I think I've made a stunning mistake with my driver selection! I thought I'd be top with my men coming 1st, 2nd and 4th... who did Jasper have?!
Same lineup as you it seems, seems like the points drop dramatically if you aint in 1st therefore spreading across several drivers is better this season. Pretty silly.
Well, its interesting because the points for the two Sauber drivers still stand according to the fantasy site. Surely if they've been chucked out for failing technical specifications, they shouldn't receive any points for the race fantasy wise?
I want to know how he managed one stop for the entire race and still finished 7th. It's not like he crawled round to not degrade his tyres?
