I gave up years ago when it got boooooring.

Now I watch Australian V8's. Racing to the last lap

nick_75au · « **Reply #7 on:** April 17, 2011, 03:47:20 am »

Well for me F1 is more about the technology, and most F1 fans would say the same, where as V8's, touring cars are definitely less a technology race and more a drivers race. Both make for excitement, just in different ways

Its the same with Marbleheads and IOM's, tech verses sailor

Look at MW, cars technology is not up to scratch so 18th on the grid, SBs working perfectly 1st on the grid this weekend. (not going into the politics of that one

)

Best race I've seen for a long while!

( NB! Don't spoil it it for anyone - don't reveal any results until the later rerun!)

wartsilaone · « **Reply #10 on:** April 17, 2011, 10:17:02 am »

Yes I am eating my words somewhat. A very good race an should bring a few fan back. The rules worked will today, but they my not in Turkey. I hope they do but we'll see.

raymond · « **Reply #14 on:** April 17, 2011, 11:04:27 am »

On the bit I saw and some replays for me it was Webber

Arrow5 · « **Reply #15 on:** April 17, 2011, 11:33:59 am »

Man of the race Mark Webber, no doubt about that

craftysod · « **Reply #16 on:** April 17, 2011, 06:25:06 pm »

Definately Mark Webber,19th to 3rd,feel sorry for Jenson though worked hard,pity tyres let him down at the end,best race for ages.
Hope the rest of the season will be good

Kleban · « **Reply #17 on:** April 19, 2011, 01:05:59 pm »

Drivers of the race;

Mark Webber for driving brilliant from 18th on the grid to earn a well deserved podium finish.
Lewis Hamilton for a fantastic drive, pulling off some great overtaking manoeuvres, and for really taking the race to the Red Bulls.

Spook · « **Reply #18 on:** April 19, 2011, 11:57:30 pm »

I just managed to watch it. Thanks Freeview+.

What a race! Best I've seen in a long while. The new rules regarding use of the rear wing are a bit weird and I was rather surprised to find only one tyre manufacturer this season. But it seems to be all about tyres and how they are managed doesn't it? And only one retirement - that's a rarity - cue 'Three Wheels On My Wagon...' I spotted the wonky wheel as he left the pits.

Man of the match had to be Mark Webber, although it was good to see Rosberg up there near the top and Ferrari showing their teeth again. Wally of the week has to be Button for missing his parking space. That's going to take some living down. ;-)

wartsilaone · « **Reply #19 on:** May 08, 2011, 09:59:43 pm »

Is it just me or have the organisers got the rules just right this year?

Spook · « **Reply #20 on:** May 09, 2011, 01:21:44 am »

Turkey wasn't too exciting - I watched the whole race, which is a departure from me usually dozing off around lap 20. It's an age thing.
Nice to see Ferrari doing well again, they've had it lean for a while.

... and Shumacher is still an 'bottom'!

He has nothing left to prove now so there is no "Eye of the tiger" so to speak

nick_75au · « **Reply #22 on:** May 09, 2011, 09:13:10 am »

Probably wasnt as eciting, for you, as the 2 POMS wern't 1-2

Heaps of overtaking, another great race, The midnight finish for me isnt so crash hot

when I have t be at work at 5 am

Just as a comment to the snide remark about Poms, ( which refers to the Australians, not the British) Apart from Ferrari and maybe one of the Lotus Teams, all the cars are built in England. Even Mercedes , both car and engine are English. Even the Renault Team is based in England, so really it hardly matters who wins, they are driving an English car....

The best drivers won the race. Listening to the comments made (Or not), by the most recent Brit world Champ, one wonders if he is suffering from the Coultard/Montoya/ Alonso factor that Mack generate? (Oh yes they do) and with respect, "The German" can still thread a needle at 200MPH.
