Anyone going to this at Silverstone this weekend?

40,000 apparently turned up today just for practice session to see Lewis Hamilton!  :shock:

Did pretty well today setting a best lap.

Would love to see a Brit win the British Grand Prix.  When was the last time that happened?

Cheers for the detail Fred  :o

Try this Luc

its a really good site


www.google.co.uk

 :mrgreen:  :wink:

My PC at work is slow alright  :x   Plus I have been trying to get google to work quicker all day with no joy  :(

Went to the last two. Couldn't afford it this year really :( On the plus side I did win tickets to the air tattoo :)

Second practice driver/gap

1. Raikkonen/-
2. Massa/0.499
3. R Shumi/0.742
4. Hamilton/0.742
5. Tulli/0.828
6. Alonso/0.977

Hope the MacLarens are sandbagging or the Ferraris were running light.

Oh I didn't see that one  :(

I was going to go but after coming back couldn't afford it either.  Air tattoo is ace though!

Im taking Jenna to the air tattoo

re:Air Tatto - Shame the Vulcan isn't ready for this year. Will be flying soon though.

I didnt know that Mr Spock was due to come too

I wouldn't take to much notice of the practice times, usually not indicative of qualifying. I think a Ferrari will win. Would be nice to see Nick Heidfeld/Ralf Schumacher or Nico Rosberg win but their cars are not upto the standard of the ferrari.

Now that the spy in the camp has been exposed I would assume Maclaren wins would be less than Ferrari

Shut the fuck up you german ****

Hamiltons the winner alright, so take your german loving fan brigade with you!

 :soapy tit wank:  :soapy tit wank:  :soapy tit wank:

And dont even get me started on the shirts for sale!

 :soapy tit wank:

we will see, I maybe wrong but I feel that the ferraris will be stronger

I hope they get clamped for being illigally parked.

 :)

how is that avatar so big ?

Fucking cheating Germans

2 World Wars and 1 World Cup

The order of the universe shall be restored

I can't find a smaller one

I cant get mine that big

Ahem

 :wink:

Deutschland uber alles

if you dont like history go find a german forum. Engerlan engerland

History is OK but get it correct, England on their own did not beat Germany in the wars. The allies did.
But you did however beat us in 1966 (with the help of a Russian again :wink: )

OK

Enough is enough

Can I just say I apologise for my earlier comments

They were meant to be a bit of light hearted banter, but I realise that this is Friday night and I DO NOT want people jumping on this thread when they come back from the pub later on.

I fully understand if my banter was misconstrued for something else

Daucher

I'm sorry

If a mod could lock this before this gets out of hand I would appreciate it

dont apalogise to that german bastard

Anyone know where I can get a match worn Ifil shirt?

Beats me. I been after one for a while.

i'd pay good money for one, but i don't think there's any out there. i'll just buy £1000 of union jacks instead.

 :mrgreen:

Consider it locked

It aint though Si !

It dont need locking

No shit, I just thought I'd pretend  :soapy tit wank:

Anyway, I reckon I'm a much better driver than Hamilton. I only stalled once on Mannington roundabout today.

I also didn't mean to offend anyone with my comment that another driver would win, don't worry I don't take offence at many comments about my nationality because I do expect it and in some way bring it on myself, that of which I cannot help because I am proud to be German.

Enjoy the grand prix

Fucking hell this place is far too serious!

Nice one. Lewis on pole!

bollocks

Thats fooking ace!  Fingers crossed for a British winner!  

Shame Ralph Schumacher could only manage 6th  :soapy tit wank:

Wrong page.  I now will wish a podium place for Mr Schumacher for my mistake.

you meant in the WC, and I meant in qualifying - a case of crossed wires

nah I just looked at the wrong page!  Silly me! I need a break from staring at this bloody screen!

It could go either way tomorrow...

Ferrari definitely looked to be on top in France, but Hamilton has been driving very well all year and I would expect McLaren to do well at Silverstone anyway to be honest

Hamilton is due an anti-climax, so he'll be way out in front and break down with less than 10 laps left  :shock:

Your a right doom merchant DV...i bet if you drop a slice of toast, it ends up butter side down.
 :wink:

ferrari 1-2 i reckon. i think mclaren were both running light to get the pole, but ferrari looks to be the faster car. it will be interesting to see which team pits first.

massa stalled it on the grid.

he did that on purpose to make me look a fool.

Useless cunt  :D

Cant wait for Kubica to drive in a good car, he'll piss all over Hamilton  :P

Unless you hadn't noticed, Kubica was lapping at the same speed as the Ferrari's at the end of the race.

Shame it was at the end of the race, and not all through out the race

Well considering that
1) He had problems with the car
2) McLaren got the tactics wrong
3) It's his first season....

.....a 9th consecutive podium and 12 points clear in the Drivers' Championship isn't too bad a result for Hamilton!

I don't think I would've been able to cope with the media and the whole country's sudden love of formula one if Hamilton had've won. Thank fuck for that

Agreed. Anyone else remember the news reports after the Rugby World Cup final suggesting that rugby could soon replace football as England's most popular sport.

Now don't get me wrong, I don't have a problem with Lewis Hamilton as an individual, but I do wish the F1 commentators would just stop sucking his fucking dick constantly.

Thankfully I don't get access to the mainstream British media, and I can just imagine what they've been writing about recently. I fear for poor Lewis when the wheels start to fall off the wagon (no pun intended), and inevitably they will at some point.

I can't believe I want Ferrari to win this season, rather than support my currently successful countryman... :?

I too think Ferrari will take the crown ultimately this season with Hamilton finishing 3rd or 4th, but I'd happily put up with the over inflated media attention a Hamilton championship win would bring.
