2012 F1 in HDTV - Page 14  

While LB had some experience with racing, Austin hasn't a bit.

I hate to say it, but I think that's a smart move.
I wanted to go, but with all of the stopping and starting and funding problems and lack of leadership, etc...., I suspect it will not be an enjoyable experience.

One of the major problems I see is parking and transportation. There is no parking at the track beyond the limited number of passes, which I think go to PSL holders. That means the only way to get to and from the track is via a shuttle service. I think that is going to be a nightmare. I can imagine very long waits in line to get a ride. That's not for me. My lower back can't take standing in line for very long.

I agree.

Neither can mine....

Not much - they made them run one race the previous year to prove they could do it (because of it being a street course?) but that was it. I'm talking about 1976 here, the first one, not later when you never knew what LBGP really meant.

It was a nice race, I love Montreal because you can actually pass someone, we saw several..

Bad day for Alonso, tires gave up, Hamilton got "lucky" there

Very impressive day for Perez, came from 15th to 3rd

Love to see the race live, I missed those...

Sauber is threatening to play with the big boys, and not doing a bad job of it. They're stealing Force India's and Williams' thunder, and knocking on Mercedes door. Impressive. This should net them some better sponsorship before long.

I thought it was the best race of the season. Three top drivers, on different strategies, and it worked perfectly for one of them. The com with Hamilton cracked me up - basically telling Lewis he needed to drive his ass off. Lewis is like, "okay."

Another great, unpredictable race.

Now that we have 7 races and 7 different winners, it's time for M.S. or Kimi to win next time out.

The taped delayed races on FOX are very annoying.
Sunday the race is 8am EDT and FOX is airing it at 12pm EDT.
I'd rather have them live on Speed.

+1
I like the idea of watching races on Sunday morning with my coffee and DirecTV DVR....

Could be worse, WAGA in Atlanta delayed it till 2 to show infomercials...

What a dramatic race!

What can you say about Alonso?
3 former World Champions on the podium.
Just WOW!

Agreed! Every time you turned around someone was dropping out or whacking into each other!

Alonso has been amazing this year! He's been squeezing every ounce of performance out of the Ferrari . He's easily driver of the year so far.

It's great to see Red Bull have some problems this year. Last year it seems like Vettel could race backwards and still win!

BTW, what the hell is wrong with Lewis Hamilton? Did he get in trouble again for ignoring some yellow flags? I heard they were investigating him. And a great way to get knocked out of the race. Maybe if he grows up he may win another drivers championship.

Agreed.
Redbull and McLaren seem to be the class of the field (by a small amount).

Take a look at the difference in results from Alonso to Massa....
How the heck is FA able to do what he has done?

Apparently, PM will be penalized (instead of Hamilton)...not sure if it is appropriate...

Thanks. It seems like every race Hamilton is getting into some sort of trouble. Maybe his sour puss father is pushing him too much.

Actually, I think Hamilton has been very good so far this year. He's had problems with his pit stops but much fewer visits to the stewards compared to last year. He also seems more calm and composed if something goes wrong. He's definitely matured much

Wow, great more Hamilton talk. I haven't figured out why he is the anointed one in Britain and gets much more press than Button. At best, he is the third best driver in F1 behind Vettel and Alonso.

Hamilton has/is immature when compared to a lot of his competitors.
His past "problems" merely reflect that.

The thing with LH is he is VERY fast.
Unfortunately, he is lacking in other things.

He is slowly learning and maturing.Lewis has been spoiled by Mc Laren since they first signed him as a teenager. Let's not lie to each other and pretend we've never said crap or done stupid ass things when we were younger that we later regret? The difference is we aren't in F-1 and followed by the media. I still believe Vettel is the fastest driver in F-1 right now and I'm not a big fan but am slowly warming to him after seeing him on David Letterman and getting edited on live TV! I also enjoyed him on Top Gear and watching him drive their road course.

Good point.

He seems to be a nice kid, unusually mature and grounded for his age.
I haven't heard alot of bad press about him; Bernie has been trying to marry off one of his daughters to him.

I think he is smart enough to stay away from both of them! He most likely has his hands full with enough "crumpets" as Barry Sheene used to describe the women in racing.

I was grinning when I saw senna in the top ten... really disappointed when he knocked out.

The name aside, he seems average....at best.

Top 10 again for Senna...

I am not Webber's biggest fan, but he did a great job winning today.

Unfortunately for Alonso, F1 has that stupid tire rule. I think he would have won if it wasn't for this asinine rule.

IMO, the "tire rule" adds to the drama.

Great race, congrats to Webber, well driven. Not as much fun as Q3 though

I am not surprised. Ironically this is something Nascar would do to improve "The Show".

True.

Can we get a MotoGP thread?
