Leave me alone!

:D :D


EDIT: I just realized something. The top Toyota is sandwiched between the two Aguris.

im sure that i saw alonso with the normal mirrors.
Maybe it's a little bit out of topic, but have u seen the new onboard cameras?
aren't they too close to the driver? i mean i could barely see the track and realize what curve the car is going through! :roll:

It's true that if you look at all the clips on youtube, there are some onboard videos pointing downward, in such a way that you cannot see the road! (I remember seing on with trulli spinning). I don't think it's a camera casing problem, as I've seen it on other teams also (don't remember who, watch clips on YT), so it was certainly intentionnal. I hope they won't persist, it's disturbing.

It's Speed. They don't broadcast FP1

Did anybody noticed all the padding for the legs inside the cockpit of the f2007
Simon: Nils? You can close in now. Nils?
John McClane: [on the guard's phone] Attention! Attention! Nils is dead! I repeat, Nils is dead, ----head. So's his pal, and those four guys from the East German All-Stars, your boys at the bank? They're gonna be a little late.
Simon: [on the phone] John... in the back of the truck you're driving, there's $13 billon dollars worth in gold bullion. I wonder would a deal be out of the question?
John McClane: [on the phone] Yeah, I got a deal for you. Come out from that rock you're hiding under, and I'll drive this truck up your ass.

under the tyres there are those blue things, are they used to weigh the cars ? (as i'm assuming that they are under all 4 wheels) thats what i'm guessing they are because i have never seen them before, anyone know exactly ?

Yes, they are scales. Quite popular in racing garages.

Final Saturday Practice Times

I'm surprised how Massa fell down the times, on friday he was the one to beat but today he just couldnt keep up, and he also had an off track excursion as well, so this is probably a little hint of sunday,
Raikkonen has probably been "holding back" all winter and now is finally unleashing his amazing speed, I'm glad Ferrari is holding their place among the top teams, (#1),
also, the super aguri's finished in the top 10, but the factory honda's did not, the williams of wurz rounded off the top 10, but the toyotas failed to do even be in there, SAD, a very impressive showing from the backmarker teams, but then again these are just saturday practice times, sunday will be a very different day for sure
