Monaco is a snooze fest again, two hours of parade laps. There were a couple good passing attemp, but that track only seems exciting when its wet. And the constant talk about all the celeb and money floating around gets annoying.

It definitely shouldnt be the biggest race of the year. They air it on regular NBC to attract more audience to F1, but when they turn to the channel to watch, all they see is a train of cars following each other and the anouncers kept taking how much money is floating around at monaco. Like thats realy going to attract more RACE fans to F1.

 

Where is Manaco?

 

^ what? Is you RM

 

The F1 fans are already watching.

NBC wants/needs casual fans, people who watch NASCAR or tennis or soccer.

 

Confirmed: Weber leaving F1 to go drive for Porsche


http://www.planetf1.com/news/3213/87...-Is-Leaving-F1


Can't say I blame the guy... He's had a good career in F1, and going to drive for Porsche's new LMP team isn't exactly a shabby job either.







Don't know about you guys, but I'm ready for some damn racing again... Silverstone is always fun to watch, love seeing the cars change direction so fast.

 

^ he had a long career but I wouldn't say it was good

 

He had a good career, if you define good as being nearly impossible to pass when you were lapping him.

 

lol

 

Hey Billy can you refresh my memory?When was Webber being lapped.

 

You've got to be kidding me that race sucked.

 

Pirelli really effed up this race. Was on the edge of my seat for the last 6 laps. Thought the teams might protest and quit the race like Indy.

 

So happy Vettle finally had a breakdown.Im crying tears of joy about his bad luck suck it
up weapon head.
Great drive from Webber maybe one more lap.
Can anyone out there tell me if the pit crews can control the cars power delivery at the start?
Im curious because every time Webber is around Vettle he never gets a clean start and drops many places behind.It looks to me that redbull certainly dosent want Webber to beat Vettle or even be close over the last couple of seasons.

 

It's clutch start with no traction control. it's all down to the driver. He just suck at it, that's all there is to it. he probably lost a hand full of races because of his bad start.

 

Webber gets a bad rap on this thread. He's a great driver & if he had another lap today would have won it. Look fwd to seeing the LMP1 Porsche next year

Interesting race today w/all the variables

 

2002-2004 inclusive.

This.

He is a good driver, which is why he's racing for RBR. I was just ******* him because he's good at making his car "wide".

As much as the internet likes to turn F1 into a huge conspiracy, I don't think RBR has any interest in holding Webber back, at least not early in the season. The best case scenario for the team is a 1-2 finish; it doesn't matter who gets 1 and who gets 2. Max points is max points. In this case, Webber just isn't good at starting this particular car. I don't recall him struggling with starts this bad in years past.
