Also Nelson Piquet Jr is <img> useless, there are already rumors floating around that Takuma Sato and Di Grassi are being considered as replacements for him. He's also an arrogant twat.
Yeah, Piquet is crap.
Change him for Sato please, since he is awesome!!
It'll probably be Senna, he's looking for a way in and Renault need a BIG new sponsor.
Not a bad race I do admit, but I still hate Shanghai. And i'm not even bothering with Bahrain. Anyone with sense shouldn't bother either.
 
His family are from Southern Ireland from what I remember, anyway the next time he won they played the Irish one.
 
Meh, well what I was getting at is that the constructor anthem is usually the one from the country that they are based in.

eg - Benetton is Italian yet they play the British
+ McLaren is technically speaking Kiwi (but I'm sure you knew that Marc :p ) yet they play the British anthem
 
Jonathan Legard REALLY pisses me off, last race was bad enough, when he thought that Barichello had gone off the track twice when it was just a replay. It also really gets on my nerves how he says 'Vettel from Webber from Button from Barichello' for example.

Next race I am listening to the Radio 5 live commentary instead.
 
Have to agree Legard is really pants makes so many mistakes and is just boring.

Mclaren were Kiwi but Mclaren International are British :)

It all makes me laugh really, Renault are French yet their team is based in England.

Benetton used to play the British National Anthem until I think 1997? when they became Italian. But I am sue when MS was winning they played the British one? But it only ever happened once after he left lol.

Also Neal Kimi has said his engine problem only happened for a few laps and then resolved itself, he was just slow. Rubens only had 3 brakes working for some of the race. Lewis has said this was his worst race ever in F1, I can think of worse ones but had he not kept on spinning a top 3 or 4 was possible. He really needs to calm down and stop wearing out his tyres.
 
Ugh, thats always annoyed me about F1 commentators, it was the same on ITV.
When theres a little icon at the top which says in capital letters "REPLAY" its a ****ing replay, stop making yourself look like a twat.

I've noticed this BBC commentator brings the past up quite a lot... "oh this is shades of XXX & YYY in Spa 1998!!" e.t.c

Became Italian? The Benetton family and the United Colours of Benetton brand is Italian, it didn't just magically happen :roll:
 
Ok let me say what I mean lol, they were registered as United Kingdom then changed it to Italy.

RBR are registered under Austria so they did play the wrong one on Sunday.
 
Agh, I see what you mean now.

And yes, you'd be right lol. Little known fact I suppose about Benetton seeing as they never won a race as an "Italian" outfit :lol:
 
Agh when you look at it yes they did! You misled me Marc, they changed in 1996 not 1997 hence my confusion :lol:
 
I dont believe that though, he had a whole year last year and never proved himself.

I do hope he goes though he is rubbish.
 
Todays practice session was strange lots of cars going off.

But I have been waiting years for this, just a shame its not quali lol.

Ferrari rock bottom lol.

I also liked what an unamed F1 team boss said about the Mclaren lie thing "Football players lie every single week when they dive in the penalty area or get someone sent off, why are they not pulled up in court?"
