P.S SMOKING IS BAD FOR YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

lmao!!!!

 

Now I want a big fat cigar... But I can't... *rage*

 

Did my usual thing of voting straight away and then wishing I hadn't. I think Alonso will win if it's dry, but Vettel will be favourite if it's wet. Should've waited for the forecast before voting.

Once again I don't approve of the DRS zones, once again we've got a situation where drivers can use it to pull away because they've got the detection zone before an overtaking area and the activation zone after it.

 

I know what you mean, AG, and what you've said is true.
Then again, the other side of the coin would appear to give an extra incentive for 'non-DRS' overtaking, by virtue of the potential reward you've highlighted.

 

I take it the top picture is you and iceman lol

 

You can see me? Iceman always told me I was invisible....


Btw I'm the guy on the left and I like a variety of cream pies thrown at me, I wont get angry I swear!

 

Gone for Alonso. I live down here near Silverstone and forecasts say dry weather all next week.

 

You wouldn't like me when I'm angry.

 

Wellies and Shorts? Is that the British version of socks and sandals?

hmm, good point re weather AG, have voted for Alonso twice on this poll, but it doesn't seem to have gone through, maybe it's telling me to wait until thurday to check, although with the harder tyres maybe even in the dry the RBRs will have it, but Alonso looks like the more likely winner IMO, track should suit the Ferrari more, but maybe the Mercs might get their 2nd win. tough one to call, gotta keep my lead

btw, thanks for putting it up Silver, was getting a bit worried it was being ignored what with teste gate going on

 

Voted for Alonso.

Massa said recently that this circuit will suit Ferrari. They were the quickest in Spain so I don't see why they wouldn't be in Silverstone.

 

IS the bottom photo (the one with the mud and granstands) the walk up to Becketts?

 

Gone for Alonso, but purely down to the fact I want him to win

 

The guy in orange is me, I'm being serious, worked the car parks last year, doing the same this year

 

Any chance of free entry?

Welcome to the board btw

 

For me yeah, the only place we can't go is the pits, I've been here a while, but just forgot to login

 

Alonso's race to lose, ENJOY!

 

Deja Vu

 

So is it Becketts then?
