Was a very good race. Glad fingers got taken by the Maccas and Webber at the end.

What a race! That was simply epic. The point were Kimi went back 7 places in one lap had me on the edge of my seat.

same here....shame really thought he was going to finish 2nd would have been brilliant he really has the talent and his come-back is far better than other well known drivers have been :foxspeed:

a bit ott by the news by the sounds of it.....they caught up in a protest when it kicked off...nothing to do with them being from f1 etc

bit like the "dont panic buy petrol" the other week

 

[N0ddie]

So what happened to the Maccas in 2nd practice then? Hammy over 1 second off Nico's pace?

 

[N0ddie]

Damn Vettel on pole.

Gutted!

 

[Tom]

Button was off - hopefully he can do something from 4th.......

 

[N0ddie]

Awesome race so far. Gutted for Hammi! C'mon Kimi!

 

[Tom]

Grojean! Wow!!!!! Awesome race, I thought...

 

[930Tech]

I thought Kimi was going to win that, only a matter of time.:thumbup:

 

[Tom]

Yeah, shame he lost out with his final pit stop. If he'd stayed out another lap or two, or come in a tad earlier - he'd have been well in,...

Spanish GP fire

After an epic race and well deserved win for Williams, their day turned from celebration to tragedy after a fire in the pits that injured around 30 people, 1 seriously. Wish all the team and people involved a speedy recovery.

[N0ddie]

Yeah, tis a sad way to end what was an awesome race.

Was watching the post race stuff on Sky+ when they cut to the flame scene in the pits. Will be interesting to hear what started it.

 

[Adrian]

I had switched off shortly after the race and have only just found out about it. BBC are reporting that a KERS system was discharged and that sparked the fuel fire.

Schumacher has also received a 5 place grid penalty for Monaco as well after playing destruction derby with Bruno Senna

Great race. So does that now mean that Renault is gonna build a new special edition then? With Maldonado name emboided on the recaros, the Spanish grand prix sticker at the back and a pricetage of £20k???

 

[Tom]

Lol - t'was a good race. Shame Button was well off the pace.

Anyone see the post-race fire at Williams? Awful stuff!
