Round 17: Korean Grand Prix

Ghost Train

and people say Hamilton is annoying :pac:

Redbull seem to be fast in both qualifying and the race lately, hope the first few corners mix up the order a bit

Vettel for world champion, mark my words

I think Alonso myself, he is so consistent at the moment.
Vettel is due another mistake

I've a feeling Hamilton could put the cat amongst the pigeons into turn one. The red bulls will want to keep out of any shenanigans but Hamilton has feck all to lose.

Really really hope you're wrong - for this year anyway.

Would love to see Webber lift the title as I doubt he'll get another chance like this one, whereas I reckon Alonso, Hamilton, Button & Vettel all have plenty of life left in their careers for championship titles.

I hope BBC are finished with the McLaren "Mission Control" :rolleyes: and Mr Grumpy.

Whilst it was interesting to get a behind the scenes look at their base i didn't see the point in going back and forward to Coulthard when they couldn't show what was going on in the room?!! Seemed a bit pointless imo.

Yeah it just seemed like a gimmick to get DC in, they should have went to any of the other UK based teams not boring McLaren, at least they might have got a smile out of the staff

The latest on weather is : KOREA, Update: Broad inter-model agreement now follows Met Office prognosis for outbreaks of rain likely to continue into the race window.

There is definitely rain before the race starts its just when will it stop. The Met office is pushing the rain into the start of the race. Could be interesting with a wet/dry race.

Ghost Train

I think its interesting to see behind the scenes... mclaren do take things to extremes a bit.... mission control, war room, bit over the top

I think DC on his own is never great, Eddie Jordon on his own is not great either, but I guess if it's only once or twice a year thing then it's fine as filler for a few minutes

wet start to the race so should be interesting

and then the last few corners could be another spa 98 hrt to score points :P

blindpilot

Lots of cars spinning out there!!!!

Grim.

lol at the parade laps this should be good

lord lucan

This could be a start to rival Spa '98!

Ghost Train

good chance for McLaren to stick it up the inside of the redbulls who mught be taking it careful

lord lucan

Feckin' 10 minute delay!:(

lord lucan

I hope we don't start behind the SC.

Ah ffs,starting behind the SC.

Dont be at yourself

I'd say the red bulls are delighted

blindpilot

Lousy safety car.

Ghost Train

lots of spray

blindpilot

Watchin the onboard camera on bbc red button with Hamilton. Huge spray off cars in front. Visibilty not good.

lord lucan

Alonso: Worse conditions i ever drove a car in!:D

Red flag!:mad:

blindpilot

Red flag!

Woden

Red flagged

imho too liberal use of the safety car these days. Give it a go sure!

Ghost Train

sort of understandable given the conditions, hopefully rain will stop soon

Woden

Yeah I think though someone said it on these boards it appears that if its wet enough for extremes its too wet to race.

Would they be aquaplaning in the current conditions?

Dont be at yourself

At least we might see a proper start this time round!
