[-Fred-]

Can someone tell Jean Todt denim shirts went out of fashion in 1997?

Why are Brits and Americans complaining that they have to stay up late to watch the F1?

Australians have to do this 80% of the time and we do not complain.

Complaining about complainers.

We're British, complaining is our thing...

 

[F1 fan]

What time does the race start where you are Craig?

3 PM. I've pulled an all nighter for many a Grand Prix but this will be the first time I've pulled an all nighter for a Grand Prix that took place in the middle of the day.

 

[Northstar]

I actually like these races, it's much easier for me to stay up than wake up after a couple hours of sleep like the European races that start at 7AM here.

Instead of coffee I'm eating chocolate .. less effective but tastier.

I hope it starts to rain .. but just a little.

EDIT: Oh, I'm not complaining.

 

[Terronium-12]

Almost go time.

 

[mattythedog]

If this season is as good as the last, we're in for a good time. Hopefully the Red Bulls won't be too dominant.

I have Doritos, Dip, and 3 blocks of chocolate, 4 cans of coke.

XD not a single picogram of healthy food.

Three words mate, cajeta and bread

 

[dhandeh]

I missed qualifying, how dry was the track? It looks like it was greasy in q2 and almost dry in q3.

 

[Northstar]

XD not a single picogram of healthy food.

They still make that?

Won't get to watch the race, but at least live timing exists.👍

 

[Yauma9]

Three words mate, cajeta and bread

I don't have cajeta. 👎

Look at the heat waves from the engines.

 

[CinnamonOD]

I don't have my laptop, so I won't post anything during the race

 

[Terronium-12]

Really pulling for Massa.

 

[Beerz]

Ok, just filled myself up with coffee after sleeping for 3hrs, ready to go!!! 👍

 

[mattythedog]

I'm hoping for some rain to spice things up. It would be nice.

 

[gorsad]

Really pulling for Massa.

Me too, I support Mclaren over everyone but I really want to see Massa outperform Alonso.

Since you are American I'll explain.

A Picogram is a unit of weight and it is equal to 2.204622622 ×10-15 pounds.

 

[-Fred-]

Hopefully we get a clean start with no drama.

 

[Tom]

F1 2013 is go!

 

[Yauma9]

Go Checo and Esteban!! 👍

The lotus green looks awesome.

 

[Panoz]

It's go time!

 

[Grayfox]

There at the grid, there waiting for the green and GO, GO, GO.

 

[gorsad]

Horrible start from the Webber, again.

 

[mattythedog]

Well, nothing unexpected. Webber had an awful start, the Ferraris had a great start.

 

[dhandeh]

Looks Webber like still has that starting 'problem'.

 

[Beerz]

Wow, Webber really blew it...

 

[Spacegoat]

Great start by Webber...........not. 👎
