Motors The Official Bit-Tech F1 2007 Thread

Go Sato!

Insane race I only caught the last 40 laps but they were nuts.

 

So much for F1 being boring, that was pure entertainment.

Go Lewis, the perfect race by him, not a foot wrong.

Good to hear Kubica is fine, albeit, with a broken leg.

Sato at the end was awesome.

 

That was a sensational pass in the closing laps! Great race! The last time I saw a race this good was the rained out event in the U.K.

Takuma Sato, representing the only motorsport previously lacking a Japanese presence.

 

Apparently Kubica doesn't have a broken leg, just a sprained ankle and a bit of concussion. Was a great race though, one of the most interesting for a long time. Kovaleinen drove very well for a change, unlike Trulli

 

I haven't seen Alonso drive that badly for quite a while. I wonder why he was having so many problems with turns 1 and 2.

 

ARGH! The one (of many) race(s) I miss!

 

I missed it too. Are there any highlights on?

 

That was a pure WTF moment Never seen that happen before.

Some pretty good crashes and overtaking as well. The Super Aguri team has the most comedy pitstops.

Shame Indy is next as it will probably be no where near as good as this race.

 

Awesome race, especially after the news Robert was OK after that horrific smash.

Well done Lewis!

My biggest Canadian GP WTF moment? Reading about the reason that Anthony Davidson locked up before the entrance to the pit lane, causing him to run into the pits and then have to wind the window down and shout for service...

He hit a Beaver on the straight!

And how gutting for Button eh? He used to be the darling of the UK press, top Brit and general all round good guy. He must be so low - stuck in a team that seems to be going nowhere, with his position in the home grown pecking order plummeting.

Bet he wished he hadn't bought himself out of the Williams contract now.

 

His first turn incident ruined the underbody of his car. Resulted in poor downforce. Great race from Sato and Kovaleinen.

Edit: Hamilton didn't triple (pole, fastest lap and race win)

 

I disagree, I like the indy race, there have been some monster crashes there, and the speed they get on the banking is awesome, always impressive seeing people slingshot out of there in the slip stream.....just like nascar lol

 

Speaking of big crashes, Ralf's big crash at Indy, really should have been red flagged, or at least handled differently. ie taking the cars through the pit lane. IIRC several cars suffered high speed blow-outs as a result of debris.

 

yup, was a good race lol I agree it should have been handled differently but it did at least make it exciting.

 

It looks like Alonso has set out to show why he is number one.

 

Go Lewis, Pole Position.

All we need now is Lewis to win and we get an Indy double with Dario Franchitti winning the Indy 500 a couple of weeks ago.

 

It looks like I spoke too soon.
I hope lewis gets back to back wins.

 

Come on Lewis!

 

Wow, just wow.

Brilliant race from Lewis under pressure from Alonso.
Great Brit double at Indy this year, Dario winning the Indy 500 and Lewis winning the USGP at Indy.

 

I don't think I've ever seen someone with such a pout on the podium with second.
How I do love seeing Alonso sulk

 

Brilliant race for Lewis. What an incredible start to his F1 career.
