Yeah, my thoughts exactly, but they never air Practice 1 for some reason, just Practice 2 - Coming up at 2am EDT
+1000, I use to watch it, but became bored with it and especially with that bald headed pompous host. I really cannot stand his attitude towards the contestants. It is suppose to be a negotiation and sometimes he forces their hands which destroys the whole negotiation process. I wrote to SPEED and respectfully asked them to cut down on the flooding of pinks that gets airtime, way to much in my opinion. Not that it had any effect, but I think Pinks is not on as much as it was a few months ago, thank God! What would be really cool, privateers racing, not 0-60, but circuit racing their cars for pinks, now that would be a show!
I agree, the penalties have been pathetic... but whenever McLaren seems to be getting too far ahead, either Lewis manages to screw it up, or the FIA makes sure Lewis is reigned in. Since Lewis didn't make any mistakes during practice and hasn't been lambasted (yet) for any comments he's made at the track, I was just wondering if the times listed included the mandatory can't-beat-a-Ferrari penalty.
