  1. Hardly a thriller, but there is something oddly pleasant about Lewis actually winning a race without some kind of extraordinary controversy or circumstance mixing it all up.
  2. I love these truther types, they're totally batty. But don't mind me, I'm just the helpless pawn of a viscous government conspiracy. Every morning I take a whiz, and somebody somewhere in the world dies. Coincidence? I THINK NOT.
  3. Me and my house mates formed a five-a-side footy team today. We called ourselves "Whales". We were quite pleased with ourselves.
  4. I haf told ze team zat falure vill not be torrerated again! Even ze great Herr Odwin shall notzand in mein way! Ze trophy shall be mein! You shall zoon fear ze great Scharvierundsechzig!
  5. Ah well, I suppose Oddy suffering yet another unlikely defeat was my only hope. Bloody close though. I'll get it next season!
  6. No it didn't.
  7. Good news, the French Motorsport Federation has decided not to hold the French GP next year. One less craptacular car procession to sit through. If there are any alien mother ships who want to abduct the Hungary circuit now, we'd all be most obliged. Maybe Valencia will sink into the sea or something if we're really lucky. http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/71421
  8. Happy Birthday Brain Twin!
  9. I think you may as well argue playing with Duplo is like laying brick and mortar.
  10. Everyone knows Lewis isn't overrated though. He edged out Alonso, a reigning twice world champion, in an identical car in his debut season, and was extremely unlucky to loose the championship by a single point. How could he possibly do so if he wasn't obvious championship material? Look at Kovalinen by comparison, struggling to score podium finishes.
  11. I'm not sure a race car tuning simulation is really comparable to an open world vehicular adventure game where you can build jet propelled amphibious pickup trucks that shoot torpedoes.
  12. I think it's still often forgotten that the pressure faced and level of skill required by Hamilton so early on in his F1 career is almost unprecedented. His mistakes in Japan betrayed his age, but he's grown a lot this season and what doesn't kill him will only make him stronger.
  13. They do the same thing with the Australian broadcast, they buy in the British race commentary. I suppose it makes sense where it's more of a minority sport. I agree the apparent progress made by Renault near the end of the season has been remarkable. It's clearly not just fortunate race results either, judging by their recent practice and quali results. Alonso might still be shrewd to go with Honda who I would expect to have a development advantage over the pack going into 09, but why try and fix something that's getting less and less broken? Also agree that Hamilton is still the man to beat. He had a bad race clearly, but Massa also failed to make this the game changer it could've been. Both are clearly keenly feeling the pressure.
  14. I'm still backing Hamilton, but is anyone else tempted to nip down to the bookies tomorrow and put a fiver on the outside chance that Kubica takes the championship?
  15. What a simply mad, crazy race. Alonso and Kubica richly deserved those points. Stewards were harsh but fair with both drive throughs I felt, though I'm not sure why exactly they chose penalise Bourdais. If the last two races are like this I think I'm going to develop some kind of epileptic slow-fit.
  16. Excellent qualifying session, shame Massa couldn't quite stick it where he needed it. Good to see Kovi in a position to help Hamilton, he really needs to show his worth as a teammate right now.
  17. I'm not sure how much I want this. The Halo 3 campaign was not a uniformly pleasurable experience, like learning to drive or pegging.
  18. Had a conversation with a tree yesterday, about photosynthesis. The tree didn't say anything of course, just stood there, taking it all in.
  19. Bernie don't care about signatures. Bernie cares about getting the cash up front.
  20. What Rez likes to cover himself in is none of anybody's business.
  21. You know how this works: we wave our plumage at each other, and if neither backs down we fight to the death.
  22. While we're about it: Hungary. What's going on there exactly? What precisely is the point?
  23. The calender's starting to look awfully skewed. Two races in Spain, two around the Malaysian peninsula but only one across both Americas. I think they need to run us by why Montreal has been dropped exactly.
