Lewis' "brother" looked like Pharrel Williams :lol:
Vettel did disappoint me. A big deal was made about him and he didnt do anything to set the world on fire. I think its because Hamilton has done so well, that we have a benchmark for rookies at the moment. I would like to see what Kubica could have done this weekend had he not had the shunt in Montreal. Based on what we saw, and I know it's only one race, he hasnt done enough to warrant taking Nick or Roberts place.
As for the crowd complaint I have. It's based on the fact that the main Grandstands looked empty, except for a few thousand in front of the start line, and in P1-3 and Qualifying it looked dead and you rarely saw the people in the infield.
Take Australia for example. Every Grandstand is full and people are crammed by the fences during all the major televised sessions. Bernie has a point though that Indy doesnt promote F1 enough, having Indy 500 posters for last month still up and no mention of F1 in the city at all.
Edit: It was Pharrel Williams.
Celebrity spotting in the Indianapolis paddock
Formula One racing mixed with a historic location is a recipe guaranteed to pull in not just fans, but famous fans at that. We caught up with just a handful who were at Indianapolis to enjoy a thrilling US Grand Prix weekend?
A Formula One virgin at Indy was R&B superstar and multi-platinum, Grammy award-winning producer and songwriter Pharrell Williams, who cruised between the paddock and the Paddock Club to get an in-depth taste of what Grand Prix racing is all about. ?How did I first get to know about Formula One? I was dating some girl who used to date guys from F1. I got interested by the stories she told. Then this kid Lewis Hamilton comes along and turns this sport upside down by breaking a record every time he gets into his car, so I decided to get in contact with him - and that?s why I am here. And boy, this is quite something! I thought that I would be given a beer in a brown paper bag and a hot dog and be seated somewhere in a grandstand - I had no idea that I was going to face high gastronomy! The beef I was served was the best I have ever eaten - better than Kobe beef. In fact this cow must have been massaged with body lotion. And then the grid! Talking to Lewis minutes before the race starts - watching him get ready for his battle. And the race - adrenalin from a distance, thinking you are in the ca, hoping that you can make a difference by wishing that your favourite will win. Of course that?s foolish, but the excitement really gets you into this. This weekend really got me hooked.?
A Formula One returnee was Frankie Muniz, star of US sitcom Malcolm in the Middle, who has racing ambitions of his own. ?Whenever I have time and a race is within reach, I?m there! This atmosphere is one of a kind. And if you like fast cars this is exactly your place - the vibrating air and the horrendous noise at the start, the fight for every position! Even if you have seen this several times, you want more - and I wanted more. I wanted to race - and that is what I am doing. I am a professional race driver now, hoping to find a GP2 seat for next year. What?s the difference between acting and racing? As an actor, it's all about what people think of you. You can do your best job possible, but if someone says it sucks, it sucks, whereas here, if I'm good, it will show!?
damn, nice if you've got the money for it.
