Formula 1

here we go

[ChillDoubt]

Should be a superb race, always so many variables at this venue.
Webber ought to get through the pack pretty quickly even though he starts from the pit lane and shouldn't be long before he's up with Vettel.

Then the fun starts!

Go Lewis!

First live race!! I'm surrounded by people snoring their heads off and my phone battery is at 6%! It should be a good race though!! :-)

[ChillDoubt]

'Surrounded by people snoring'??
Sounds like the aftermath of an orgy, LOL!

[erin-x]

Hahaha!!! No!! Just a wee party... Nothing like that! Good grief! XD

20 minutes to lights out and they're beginning to fill the grid.

[excelsior-1]

coulthard is getting good pick-ups on the grid walk

[excelsior-1]

five minutes till the off

i predict an incident an turn two, first time around

[ChillDoubt]

I was thinking along similar lines excel, with Vettel being in unfamiliar position there's bound to be a coming together.
Or will he play it conservatively, knowing he's on the better tyres and thus making sure he keeps clear of trouble?
Minutes to lights out, come on!

What's the pit-Cilit Bang! like? :-)

[ChillDoubt]

Great start by Lewis, Kimi had a mare.....

[ChillDoubt]

Webber pits, be a few laps before he gets up there with the big boys, Sutil barging past his team mate!

[ChillDoubt]

Far too much going on to keep updating here but it's certainly incident packed thus far and we're only on lap 7!

[ChillDoubt]

Webber up to 11th as Vettel pits. Hopefully they'll be fairly close to each other shortly.

[ChillDoubt]

Can't take your eyes off this, it's all happening!

[ChillDoubt]

Congrats to Alonso, good podium for Lewis who was guarded about predictions of a win anyway after pole but what a great last couple of laps by Vettel who almost nicked third from Hamilton.
Well done too Paul DiResta, who grows in confidence and expectation with every race.

//Congrats to Alonso//
Yippee, the race is over? Off to claim back the remote control, which I think is rightfully mine :D

[bibblebub]

wish the tv directors wouldn't get so obsessed with showing people on the periphery e.g. girlfriends

There's one sure fire way of knowing if it belongs to you.
You look down your top.
If you see a pair of mammaries, it doesn't belong to you.

LOL

[erin-x]

Woooohoooooo!!!! Knew he could do it!!! :D

And I agree, Bibblebub. I don't want to see Alonso's girlfriend... I want to see him! :-)
