This is some INCREDIBLE driving action and footage.

(Formula One)

Makes Nascar look like a joke.

I hate CBS coverage of Formula One. Not only do they delay it, this time around it is delayed almost 10 hours in my state. It normally comes on around 1AMp or 2AM in Hawaii live on Speed Channel, but CBS delays it to 7AM, and 12PM for this race :mad:

im surprised Coulthard got podium
but not really surprised since usually top 3 grid spots usually get podium
this whole track is hard to overtake

boy ppl are going to be talking about MS's block in qualifying for sometime to come eh...

Well, it sounded like a good race from what I read. I know the results but the delayed broadcast still is an hour away from starting in my state :thumbdn: It's not as much fun watching it when I already know the results. Usually I wake up to watch the races at 1AM.

I hear ya CK6Speed on the delay, but try to avoid looking at the result before watching it then. :D

Anyway, I just thought the race itself with all the turns through real streets and the camera feeds from the cars were REALLY COOL. :thumbup:

Not the one to sit around and watch car races, but I must say that this race was very cool. The fact that I recognized the track from Grand Turismo 4 is what drew me in. :D And the F1 cars sounded really nice, along with the beautiful weather and scenery. :thumbup:

The only name that rings a bell is Shumacher. What did he place??

They sure did, those gear changes are spaced so quickly! :eek2:

Fifth I think.

Fifth, after starting at the back of the pack for a questionable maneuver in qualifying. Overall, Schumi had a brilliant race. Kimi just had no luck today, which sucks. He was giving Alonso a hell of a run, and then....meh.

Monaco is so pretty :thumbup: but the speed was a bit slow :sad:

Can't wait till the Indy Grand Prix.......hopefully this year, nobody will have problems with their tires.

Like anything though, there's a lot going on in the details - it's not just go fast turn left. :D

DrRick gave me a quick education one time.

LOL....I read somewhere today that one of the guys got into an accident during the race and instead of going back to the pits/garage he went straight to his yacht on the water and had a few beers and relaxed. :D :D

EDIT: Funny, posted at about the same time. Well there is the proof. :D

EDIT 2: Found some more pics...

Ayrton Senna also did something similar when he basically lost the race after putting his car into the wall while in the lead late in the race. I believe they said he went straight back to his condo, or apartment. :D

I tell you Monaco is the kingdom of ballers and rich trust fund euros...it's just simply amazing how much money there is around this little principality.

I'm not surprised Kimi went back for a few brews...he's got really crappy luck and well, any excuse for Kimi to party is a good reason :D

I don't think Kimi is going to stay in McLaren-Mercedes next year, cuz Alonso is goin to McLaren-Mercedes next year.
