2011 Brazilian Grand Prix

[Akmuq]

Supposed to be light rain, with the heavy stuff coming about an hour and a half after the race, although I may be wrong as I'm not sure what time the race is in the UK, never mind Brazil.

 

[Centura]

I've spoken to a dad of a mate who is working for Lotus, it's hot and overcast.

There's a bigger one over my house.

Hopefully Hamilton picked up why he was slow. I saw Vettel's pole lap and he drives the track like I do in games. Hamilton in Q2 is how I used to drive the track before I realised it is not the fastest way.

 

[Robin]

Vettel's grown a ginger handlebar moustache!

 

[DriftStyle]

LOL at Vettel on BBC.
"I think puberty is over now." He's awesome!

 

[Alex.]

God Vettel is such an immature kid, he's not funny and it's all the car. That moustache is extremely immature, and I can't understand why everyone doesn't hate him like me.

Because some people appreciate a guy who has the talent to wrestle a lap time out of his car that's beyond his teammate, who has a genuine enthusiasm for the sport, who doesn't stop racing for a single second, (even if he didn't even need to finish any races after he won that trophy) and whose every soundbite isn't a corporate PR pre-written script.

Seriously, is every driver on the grid supposed to be an eternal sourpuss like Alonso? Is there something in a driver's contract that states he can't have any fun?

I for one, would be immensely amused if Vettel started singing "We Are the Champions" after this race.

-

Moustaches are immature? You sir, have insulted the honor of my man, Jenson Button!

 

[ZEROX]

Last race of the year, hope we can see a nice overtaking or big crash. lol.
The weather looks great but clouds are building up, so...

Anyway it's 11.36pm here.

Just kidding dude, I was mocking what people seem to put when Vettel wins

 

[Famine]

I thought Massa was going to smash that trophy into smithereens then. Especially when Jake said "First win of the season..."

 

[niky]

Nevertheless, I still demand a full retraction for that statement about moustaches!

 

[Centura]

I was hoping he would tell him that he shared it with Hamilton, just like he told Hamilton that he shared it with Massa, but I don't think he dared to say it.

EDIT: Sigh! It's really sunny now.

 

[DriftStyle]

I hate it when people say that it's all in the car!

A very low blow, he took it well.

 

[Robin]

Webber was also pretty dismissive when they presented his trophy, he was probably thinking "is that all the BBC rated me for the whole season!".

Eddie's shirt montage was hilarious!

 

[Centura]

Chance of rain decreasing. Showers popping up everywhere around the circuit.

 

[niky]

Team weather predictions are all over the place. I'm assuming that it could come pouring down in the second half.

 

[lbsf1]

Well at least Ronaldo's son wants to be there (not).


Also McLaren expect at least some showers this afternoon.

 

[Robin]

Nearly every team is now saying rain (a sharp shower) is expected at some point in the race.

Ronaldo's son hates F1 and wants to go home, ungrateful sod! People would kill to have VIP access to the season finale.

Jake's Blue Peter training obviously didn't work very well

 

[dhandeh]

Bloody hell, Ronaldo is a right porker!

Hopefully Webber makes a good start and gives Vettel a challenge.

 

[livemusic]

It just started raining over here but I'm pretty far from São Paulo.

 

[Danny]

Haha, Ronaldo's kid is my new hero.

So I stayed up for qualifying (3am for me) on about 6 hours sleep. After that, I slept till 4 in the afternoon, and now I'm staying up till the end of the race which is 5am for me. Then I have to be up at 6am. Better be good

 

[niky]

Predictions for the race? Alonso to win, clinch second in the championship. Vettel disqualified from the season as the FIA discover that Red Bull is using Red Bull squirted from the driver's drink bottle as an octane booster. Alonso becomes World Champion!

Also, Barrichelo gets second and Senna third.

Don't sleep.

 

[Alex.]

WHAT DO I WATCH?

 

[niky]

Here we go!

Alonso well on his way to that win! Nice start!

 

[ZEROX]

Looks like Vettel will lead for awhile.

 

[dhandeh]

Vettel not hanging about!

This is boring, where's the rain!
