Good morning everyone Inside GP on right now - very interesting. Little education about a couple driver's helmets - Wurz hand paints his freehand taking four days to do it and Lewis is the same color and pattern used when he was racing karts. He and his dad wanted him to stand out so Antony could see him easily on the track - thus, yellow - Lewis wanted to add red, blue and green. Carol
What happened to Massa in the practices? Do you think he can make up that much time in Qualifying? Peter
Hi Steve - good day to you too. Busy day of racing here for me. Qualifying soon and ALMS at 3:15 CDT (both Penske P1's on front row but I'm hoping for a replay of Salt Lake City where Audi came from 8th to 1st in the first turn -> torque from the R10). Don't know if you get Inside Grand Prix or not but very nice bit about the Silver Arrows - film from 1934 onward - the names from the past . . . Wondering why Massa may have been off the times in practice - perhaps a problem, it's just practice, perhaps sandbagging??? Carol Qualifying already underway (not on Speed TV) - Wurz in first but . . . congratulations to Nick on a new son Joda. <8 minutes left in Q1 - Rosberg in 2nd - looks live very nice day in Germany . . asking myself why am I here is hot humid Texas? MASSA NOW IN P2
It want stop bloody raining here everyone is complaining flood alerts every where nightmare Why Iam here !!!! steve
OUT -> Winkelhock, Sutil, DC, Button, Luizzi and Speed. Rosberg from 17 to 7, Fisi 15 to 9 Alonso, Massa, Kimi, Lewis, Heidfeld are top 5 in Q1. Carol
We've had more than our share of rain too. Many farmers are turning their corn crop into silage because they couldn't get in to get the corn off the stalks. My horses now have web-feet... Q2 - just over 8 minutes left and Trulli is the first one out. Trulli now in 4th but has best S1 time. Next few minutes should be entertaining. Carol Speed just had MS on the screen - must be cool in Germany - he's got a turtleneck sweater on. Interesting read last night - he says he's still not sure of his role with Ferrari but didn't want Todt's job and would like to work on road car development...
Haha - ok they acknowledged it on the commentary stream. Hopefully it will be fixed by tomorrow. In the meantime, just to be sure, is it: P1 - Massa P2 - FA P3 - LH P4 - KR Thanks - Peter
clock stopped with 4 minutes and counting down - yes, screwy. GO MASSA - first in Q2 Massa, Alonso, LEWIS, Kimi, Heidfeld, Kubica, Heikki,k Ralf, Trulli, Nico Carol I hope STR gets their car issues resolved before Bourdais comes onboard replacing Speed (my take on that one . . no official word but perhaps within the remaing 10 days of this month per Varsha).
of course! This is so much better than Stepneygate - Nicholas Todt (Jean's son) who runs ART GP2, is interested in buying an interest in STR and he also just happens to be Sebastian Bourdais' manager as is manager for Massa. I think I'm in the wrong line of business . . . Carol
