2013 Chinese GP - Shanghai

[Clew]

Isn't that a Crazy Ivan?

=D> The Hunt for Red October =D>

(Last time OT, I swear)

Christian Horner: "Tilke is designing the new track in Mexico."
Adrian Newey: "Mexico's south of the US."
CH: "What difference does that make?"
AN: "His main straight hairpin will turn to the right."
CH: "Because his last track had one to the left?"
AN: "Because he makes his hairpin turns at the end of the straights turn to the right in the Western Hemisphere."

Alright, back On Topic.

Sauber on the podium. They'll bust out the DRD to make the best gains with their slim sidepods.

To add to that:

Bernie: "Reverify the length of the straight. One ping only."
Tilke: "Bernie, I, I just..."
Bernie: "One ping, Tilke. One ping only please."
TIlke: "Aye, Bernie."

ping ? what's a ping ? a kilometer ?

A sonar ping - it's a reference to The Hunt for Red October.

Yes. I am just going through F1 withdrawl (3 weeks is a long time ). That is why I had my moment and contributed nothing of value. I have already imposed a drive through penalty on myself.

Can't....resist...

"Fuel status says we turn the engines down"
"We're going to kill a friend Sebastian, we're going to kill Webber"

On topic, I expect Mercedes to do well here. Hopefully we'll see some drd action from a couple of teams. I hope it stays dry for the weekend.

Da Costa replaces Buemi at Toro Rosso. It appears Buemi has a commitment with Toyota to race at the WEC in Silverstone.

Sorry mate I completely lost you

Antonio da Costa who won the latest round of WSR 3,5 at Monza is reportedly making his debut in F1 at Shanghai driving the Toro Rosso in replacement of Sebastien Buemi. This info. is coming from italiaracing.net

The only problem is... that Buemi doesn't drive for STR, Ricciardo and Vergne do.

Here we see a clear example of why we should digest everything we read and not just regurgitate it verbatim.

excellent observation mx tifosi.

[mx_tifoso]

Sono sorpreso che non lo hai notato prima!

[fritticaldi]

mi scusi per questa notizia eronea. Normalemente questo sito e molto affidabile. Non ci ho pensato abbastanza prima di metterlo qui.

[mx_tifoso]

No ti preoccupare! Ma e strano che continua l'errore in quello sito, sebbene sembra molto professionale.

And this might be another race that I don't watch live because it will be at midnight, so that would mean being up until 2:30 (at least).
