The F1 Thread 2012 Season

McLaren's pit stop probably cost Lewis a proper shot at 7th, very mature drive from Lewis. Fernando did a phenomenal job, Vettel finished 6th with a drive through and a nose change. Anyway what was with the nose changes on the Red Bull's, dodgy.
 
wow just seen it that is a disaster , hope the guy in hospital is OK.
Was there any damaged to the cars or the equipment?
Watching the Sky video , did you see the idiots getting in the way of all the pit crews just trying to get a pic on there phones.

Excellent work by every team to help out.

Sad way to end the afternoon, fire in the pit lanes is the worse place possible given all of the flammable materials down there.
 
Shit, videos removed already, updated with working ones but not sure how long those ones will stay up.
 
Hamilton only 8 points off the WDC lead, I still don't understand how Button could finish behind him. He's had a horrible weekend Jenson, not like him to struggle with the brakes and balance so badly.

I did say it looked like one of those races where Hamilton beats Button despite starting 10+ positions behind
 
Frank Williams should never have hired Mario Balotelli to organize the Williams celebration firework display ;)
 
How funny would it be if it pissed it down in Monaco whilst it was blistering hot here?
 
1st practice coming up....can't believe it's 12 months since I was there!
 
1st practice isn't much to go on given the track is green but the Lotus looked excellent, shame Kimi didn't get any real running to get a better read on it.
 
Just a quick question , why does this F1 weekend run Thursday , Sat and Sunday instead of the normal Friday to Sunday

Monaco is currently the only Formula One race held in the centre of a town, so having first practice on the Thursday allows the streets to be opened to the public again on the Friday, helping ease the disruption caused by the event. I think it was traditionally market day there, public’s needs to use Friday to access the roads for the goods transportation and the common purpose or Monaco GP track is a public road and they can’t close this continuously three days.

Found this, i've always wondered too but there doesn't seem to be much info on the net about it.
 
Yeah it's basically a tradition that's held because GP2 ran today so it's not set in stone.
 
What time is qualifying at? On my iPod it says that there is supposed to be thunderstorms at 2.
 
I'm looking forward to this session, any session at Monaco really is just down right awesome
