    Clearly he'll stick it in his pocket & slither away into the night.

    I'm new to MA and just discovered the F1 thread. What a bonus! I'm a big F1 fan, so I'm very glad to see the coverage here. By coincidence, I just received a copy of Nigel Mansell's autobiography from Amazon.

    Glad to be here.

    My DVR shows the same. Looks like soccer takes precedence over F1???

    I'm showing Belgian GP qualifying today from 12:30 PM to 2:00 PM EST on NBCSHD (Direct TV Channel 220). The GP will air Sunday from 8:00 AM to 10:00 AM EST on the same network. Aside from replays, no other events, i.e., GP2, showing this weekend.

    Live qualifying is just concluding as I write this. Replay of BGP qualifying at 1:00 AM EST on NBCSHD (Channel 220 on Direct TV). BGP is on the same channel at 8:00 AM EST on Sunday.

    If you do not have Direct TV, I don't know your other options. Good luck - maybe you can catch the BGP qualifying replay before tomorrow's race.

    I was OK with the delay. It was a fantastic qualifying & worth the wait.

    The pass Vettel made on the Hamster was amazing, and then to pull a second and half in the first lap was pretty damn impressive.....but from there on it was a classic Vettel race, pull out a good lead, cruise home and stop running those fastest laps at the end like that dammit! :biggrin5:

    That pass Vettel made so early & so easily was pretty amazing. The kid has bags of talent. I never thought Alonso would end up second, he had a great race.

    I loved watching Vettel fly away from Hammy. But I think Alonso was the star for driving a great race.

    Interesting article on f1technical on Red Bulls low down force wings and great use of exhaust for down force instead. It will be real interesting next year when the exhaust has to exist past the car.

    Contains race spoilers, but it's still nice to see what changes to the cars there were. Especially Red Bull's super skinny rear wing.

    Yeah......RB's "blown diffuser" is the class of the field right now.

    I loved how Vettel's engineer told him on the radio at about the 10 lap mark to "quit it and save the tires" :biggrin5:
