**Sonsey** · 18-03-2006, 16:17

Yep, very enjoyable again, it's going to be an interesting race

I'm out tonight for quite a few

so I'll just switch it on when I get back and try and make sense of things

***Steve*** · 18-03-2006, 16:18

There is still some official discussions going on about the punishment for engine changes, and until it is finalised they are not publishing the grid slots for tomorrow GP as certain teams/drivers are hoping to not suffer the 10 place relegation. I doubt anything will come of the protests this weekend but there may be changes over the next few GP's especially since they have had to change to V8's.

Due to the way that qualifying is now done, the positions for the start do not necessarily represent the true speeds, it all depends on the fuel loads. I actually like it this way though and tomorrows F1 will be interesting, especially since the majority of teams/drivers will be on the second race from the same engines and reliability is a concern.

Rosberg is looking like a true professional, especially when you think that he has never driven this track before this weekend!!

Matty · 18-03-2006, 17:46

whats the german coverage like Steve? Or are you missing James 'on the bublble' Allen?

***Steve*** · 18-03-2006, 18:11

Dunno TBH, I missed last weeks but I am all set for tomorrows. I will be watching the German coverage complete with German commentary

So I will be guessing at what is really going on

Matty · 18-03-2006, 20:23

much like the uk when Allen is in full flow then...

you got Boris Becker doing some reporting on F1 apparently? See a picture of him shoving a microphone in schues face earlier..

Matty · 19-03-2006, 16:53

heh, count me in!

Good race again, nice to see Fisi get some glory for a change!

Arkady · 20-03-2006, 15:28

sorry...? Who the F*** is James Allen? Educate me someone please...

Matt · 20-03-2006, 15:55

james allen

One of the most boring GP's I've ever watched.
Last years U.S GP was more exciting.

i got a big button here, and its name is BAN

***Dave*** · 20-03-2006, 19:36

You'll never get him Banned you know off the telly

Now see that is exactly the kind of reaction that needs an inspirational speaker like Mr Allen to help you overcome these feelings

Love & Hate are very close you know....come on ...admit it. Is it because he's unatainable ?......you never know.....weirder things have happened....

evilowl · 20-03-2006, 20:23

^^You must be the only person that understands what he is going on about then. Perhaps you can explain the term "on the bubble" and "in the drop zone" for me?

I reckon I could do a better job of commentating than James Allen.

**Sonsey** · 20-03-2006, 20:33

I would take "on the bubble" to mean doing something accurately, slang taken from the use of a spirit level.

And "in the drop zone", well either a crucial time to do something, or in a place you don't really want to be...

...both are just a guess though

SammyC · 20-03-2006, 21:22

Ahhhhh, James 'the c**k' Allen!
