European GP race ***SPOILER***

Morning all

It appears hamilton is to race anyone Know any different?
From P 10 it should be great to see..

When a Q3 gearbox problem left Hamilton's team-mate Alonso 10th on the grid in France, he found it difficult to make progress through the heavier lower top ten traffic, and could only finish seventh in the race.

So lets see him show his metal a true test taking into account his crash

 

I'd rather he didn't - the less points Hamilton score for Mc, the better for SF.

 

+1, however it will be interesting to watch. He hasn't really had to deal with traffic, other than lapped traffic, during his short tenure in F1.

btw, it looks like I'm the only one up in Cali to watch the race already. Couldn't sleep. It's 3:40am here. )c:

 

Hamilton has been given the ok by the doctors and will race.

 

Respect to you mate

 

good news then

cheers Steve

 

6:51 EST here.....Up an anxious to see Scuderia Ferrari bring it home to a 1-2 finish. Glad Speed Channel has the US telecast back, was getting really tired of the blurry webcasts.

There is a risk of showers just to spice it up

 

Woo Hoo, when was the last WET F1 race? I was at Indy 2005 (I think) when it was a bit wet.

 

I'm up and ready for racing. Maybe I'll get a nap after.

 

lets hope the race keeps you fired up ...

coverage started here..

 

Very pleased to see Hamilton in todays race....Praying for a good, safe outing.
I watched a replay of Senna's crash yesterday....hitting the tire wall at speed is a bad thing.

The GP2 race is pretty exciting! Those kids really go at it.

 

Your not the only one in cali thats up. I couldn't sleep either.

 

Its when the car gets airborne touches nothing and hits all the energy in one impact thats the killer .. can t watch Senna s crash to upsetting

 

The "air walls" and the HANS device definitely protected LH, a few years ago, it may have ended up differently.

 

+1

Yes great invention

 

Lets Get It On !!!!

 

Good afternoon to you Steve - it's not quite 0630 here for me. How's the weather in Europe this morning? You going to the race at Spa next weekend? John and I will be in Belgium on Friday.

Glad Lewis got the okay - (I knew he would!) Hope for a good race and will be definitely watching him come thru the middle of the pack.

GP2 just ended so pre-race about to start - time to grab a soda and some cookies.

Have a terrific day.

RAIN !!!

 

good morning, it started raining on the track...???

 

I didn't see any yet. They said it will be raining in 30 minutes.

 

Bob Varsha just said rain about half hour away. This should put an interesting twist on the race. We're anxious to see the MC-12's race next weekend. . . of course it will rain (don't think we've ever been to Spa when it hasn't).

Enjoy your breakfast.

Regards,
Carol

8 minutes to go . . .

Peter Windsor just spoke with Anthony Hamilton - he said all Lewis was interested in was his starting position today - Peter said we all know what Lewis can do starting from mid-field as witnessed in GP2 and other series.

RAIN IN 10 MINUTES > > >
