It's on this coming weekend (21-23 August)

About bloody time too!

Geez...

It will be interesting to see whether Renault will be allowed to compete in Valencia, due to their one race suspension for allowing Alonzo to leave the pits with a loose wheel at Budapest...I believe that the Renault appeal against the suspension will be heard by the WMSC today and that their decision will be announced tomorrow..

Even more interesting is the wait to see what action the FIA intend to take over the suspension spring that fell off Barrichello's car and almost killed Filipe Massa.....This seems to have been forgotten amongst all the hype surrounding the Alonzo loose wheel incident.... This is not really surprising when you consider that BrawnGP is a British team and that the sport (for the moment at least) is run by two incompetent Englishmen, namely Mr B Egglebert and the BDSM Fuhrer....

Least all the hullaballoo around Schumy made it seem a bit faster

Hahahaha yes, indeed it did...

Guess who is going racing??

http://www.grandprix.com/ns/ns21718.html

Hahaha, I knew that would happen....

They stood to lose too much money by pissing off the Spanish fans at Alphonzo's home race..There would have been thousands of Spaniards who would have stayed away if Renault had been banned...

Why is it, that in F1 every decision has to be dragged through some sort of appeal court before sanity prevails..?

That's a rhetorical question right?

Right...

hehehe

KIMIIIIeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

'On ya Kimi...You're da man...

He likes Jet ski's and tennis...

We likes him

He's a pofaced tosser...and he will be gooooorn at end of this season...woot

Hahahahhahahahhhhahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahha

JEALOUSYYYYYyyyyyyyYYYYYYYyyyyyYYYYYyyyyYYYYyyyYYYyyYYYyy

He's just yummy heller

What on earth are you two going to do after November 1st? Will your lives not be worth living, or will you be fickle and never mention his name again?

The latter, I reckon...LOL

I still lurrrve Sampras, so I think Kimi can rest assured

Heller's jealous that there are no (real) British F1 teams, just 'British Based'..

I think the last succesful British F1 car was the Lotus Climax, driven by Jim Clark in1965, it even predates the amazing Aussie Repco Brabham's of 1966-67..(before Bernie got his hands on them and rooted them)

We still talk about Schumi and that niggles you as well

So rest assured we will still talk about Kimi..(he'll still be racing next year anyway)..

And I still talk about Fangio, Stirling Moss (now there was a great British driver), Jack Brabham, etc etc....

Even Sir Jackie (foot in mouth)Stewart is fondly remembered...

Don't care...That's all bollocks...Not important...You are not true fans...Even if you were, it will all add up to SFA after November 1st...At least ferrari will then have a good driver on their team, not just a wrecker...LOL

OMD, we all need a race fix, and soon!

Quite good that James Allen blog, thanks deezee..

Yeah, I follow him on Twitter, which is how I find the articles.

I like his insight. (Though I remember hating him when he was commentating)

Apparently the feeling in F1 circles is that as an independent writer/commentator James is excellent, but as a paid tv commentator he is ratshit...

hahahaha I concur then!

Here are a few pics to get you in the mood.....

Luca Badoer in his helmet.....

With the prancing horse......

In the white SF shirt.....

Here are a couple of pics of the other newcomer to F1..Romain Grosjean, who replaces the sacked Nelson Piquet jnr at Renault...

Romain Grosjean.....

And again......

So there'll be virtually three newcomers competing at Valencia this weekend. Jaime Alguersuari, Luca Badoer and Romain Grosjean.....

I'll post more pics when I get some from Valencia.. 

Wow... why do Grosjean and wassiname look so alike?!

Maybe because they're both very thin?

LOL

Nah... they actually look like they might be related!

Maybe they are! (Italy and France are not that far apart)

Reubens' helmet: http://twitpic.com/ep94u

And looky who I found, alive and well? http://twitpic.com/dn9p2

http://twitpic.com/photos/Rubarrichello

...and the Pofaced Pig from Finland didn't even bother to visit or phone him while he was in hospital and after...

If Rubens put his arm around me, I'd punch his lights out..

Barrichello is just trying to suck up to Felipe because it was loose suspension parts from his poorly maintained car that almost killed him..

They're friends. Ya forgive and forget. And pay one another's medical bills

Of course they are. Those in the civilised world take it on the chin and do not blame their mates for something attributable to others...and then there's some so-called Australians...

ummm... o kay

just agreeing with you

uh huh...

...and the Pofaced Pig from Finland didn't even bother to visit or phone him while he was in hospital and after...

  Please ensure brain is engaged before putting mouth into gear...

Not only did Kimi send Felipe a card, but he visited him in hospital as well...the only thing he didn't do was give him a big poofter hug like Rubens did..

Maybe you should source your news from places other than the pommy centric sources that you rely on so heavily..

 Thankyou...thankyou...thankyou

Ashes, Bledisloe and ferrari failing again...you are not in for a good weekend. Better stick to The Bill and Foyles War...

OH Crap! Just remembered quali is tonight!!!

EGADS!

9.55 - 11.25 OneHD

Thanks heller

Was just making my way to the tu guide

You're most welcome, sweet thing

What's with all the compliments lately?? I'm getting suspicious

We is gonna win little urn

Spitty is gonna disappear in S America

SOC is going to have his usual apoplectic fit

hahahahahhahaha

We (Australia) is gonna win little urn

Quite right, bet heller wishes he was an Aussie

(but he's got buckleys chance of that ever happening)

hmmmm just saw this - Whitmarsh is saying Alonso to Ferrari is on. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/motorsport/formula_one/8214450.stm

So in reality, Whitmarsh knows as much about it as we do..

It's just odd that he'd say that

Poface is almost gooooorn

The Starting Grid:

Hamilton

Kovaleinen

Barichello

Vettel

Button

Raikkonen

Rosberg

Alonso

Webber

Kubica

Heidfeld

Sutil

Glock

Grosjean

Buemi

Fisichella

Nakajima

Trulli

Alguersuari

Badoer

Aaargh...forgot the Post Qualifying Weights...

Here:

looking good for dear old Rubens...

I think that's the first time a ferrari has finished in last position without accident or mechanical failure...

Badoer must be a piss-poor test driver, but at least schumacher was saved extreme embarrassment... 

Ah thanks heller.

Won't have to go looking for it now

It is surprising he's so slow. Then again, I have no clue when he last drove, or if he has at all

So the McLarens have the lightest fuel load and Button has the same fuel load as Raikkonen.(what has happened to the invincible Brawn cars)?

Wonder who (old second string) Rubens will run off the track or run into or injure, this time..

Badoer has had virtually no test driving this year and hasn't raced since 1999..(and is 29kg heavier than Kimi's Ferrari and is 37.5kg heavier than Shamilton's McLarcenymobile..

I think Ferrari are using Badoer's drives as free testing time to try different things for next years car..

when you do think, you think crap

"Age has wearied him"

POC

So you're back smokin that weed again....?

*sigh*

Well then, it's not too bad

P6 and P20...not too bad?

Yeah, fine..Silly old fart......

leave the nasty comments in...gives me an excuse

Well he didn't crash out or anything. So yeah, not too bad

leave the nasty comments in

Can't you see em? (Maybe you should keep your labrador closer)

Not bad for no racing for 10years and bugger all testing this year..Bloody good actually..

Anyway he's doing what he was asked to do...

Crap...he was asked to take Massa's place, not come a pathetic last

How can a so-called top (now second-rate) team have a test driver that can't drive...it's just another stuff-up

He hasn't raced yet, dopey.. how do you know he will be last?

Maybe Rubens has told you that he will crash into him??

Now there's a bloke that can;t drive..

Top class whinger though..

Reminds me of someone else..ummmm....thinking ...thinking

Ah, I know......

Now for some pics....

Valencia......

The ice cold Kimster......

Really Jenson, you must do something about your facial hair!

Ferrari back up drivers..(if required)

And now, especially for Deezee......

Happy Kimi.....

Oh, he be gorgeous!

Love the track too. It's gorgeous

Although the camera work wasn't too good last night. Hopefully it's better today

Just heard on the news that Toowoomba born Indy driver Will Power, sustained serious back injuries during a practice session for the Indy Grand Prix of Sonoma...Doesn't look good for the poor guy..

In that article they dont mention that he is an Aussie, let alone a Q'lander, or Toowoomba born.(where all the best Q'landers were born)

I get to see the Valencia race at 10.45pm, I think you guys get it at 9.50pm...

Oh well when I get all my trees, fences and antenna sorted out I'll be ok...

Gotta get a new back fence built and some trees cut down there to build it, so am waiting for the treelopper that the neighbours organised to come and while he is there he will cut my tree down for only an extra $100 .(Would cost me $250 If he just came to my place to do it)  So I just have to bide my time, because if I get a new antenna with the tree still in place and we get a storm it would be wrecked again...

      *sigh*

You won't be alone, old mate. We will have to watch the 10.45 start too, as we want to record the new Midsomer Murders whilst watching the cricket...It's a hard life...

Oh shite, I want to watch Midsomer Murders as well..(forgot about that)

Only just watched Gently last night..

Huh

So I'll be watching it alone

Not if you watch it at 10.45, you won't..

No thanks!

Just thought I'd make the offer...

Hasn't it started for you yet?

Not yet, Greg Rust has just started to talk his shit with Cam McConville...

Those two are just so shit aren't they? After all these years, still as crap

Sure are...they're out of their depth/comfort zone

And dumb

Yep, and dumb..

I better go watch I guess,, CUL8R

Enjoy!

Friggen Rhubarb Barracuda the greatest whinger in the unuverse won..(SHIT)

But Kimi came third..

WHEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!

So happy for Reubens and Kimi

Happy about Kimi, but the Barracuda gives me the shits..(whining arsehole)

You're just biased cos he spoke up against Schumy

He's a good guy. One of the gooder guys on the track

He's not, really truly, he whined about his other teams and he's whined about his current Brawn team, he's just a whinging arsehole..

He's not.

He friggen is

Just cos you think so doesn't make it so

It bloody does....he's just a whinging arsehole..

Stop whinging andro

I never whinge...

ROFL!

I am always pleasant to everyone, especially to my good mate Heller...

Wonder if the Rubber Barracuda is happy now or if he's still whinging?

Because he won one race, he'll want to be No1 at Brawn now..

Your good mate has been avoiding this site like the plague. We didn't watch the Grand Prix until this lunchtime.

Well done Rubens, not well done McLaren pit crew, and major congratulations to Kimi for managing not to hit the wall.

A satisfactory result with Red Bull and Webber not making any gains, but an extremely boring race otherwise...

Cricket was so much better with England winning the Ashes 2 - 1

I think Jenson hit the wrong button..

Aust 31-29...

Yeah, it was a major wasted chance for Red Bull.

Oh well

Good tune...

Now, when I talked to God I knew he'd understand. He said, stick by my side and Ill be your guiding hand

...Oh well...

Eh?

Fleetwood Mac
