2007 European Grand Prix

Another example of Clarkson's imagination running away with him :p Maybe my ears are funny......but there is no way I can hear that Mercedes over the F1 cars. Maybe if they were conserving fuel behind a safety car......

Yeah, as soon as the F1 cars start to race again, their V8's totally own the Mercedes V8 sound-wise
 
HondaF1, sorry I interpreted your comment as re-iterating what Clarkson said in an episode. Maybe on telly you can hear the safety car, and its a wonderful noise, but unless the F1's are running in 7th at about 10,000rpm or lower they tend to drown the Merc out.

At the track, it drowns out the F1 cars when they are behind it running slowly.

Did you guys hear aswell that the reason they can all queue at the end of Pit Lane now is because they have software that turns their 19,000RPM V8's into a 4 Cylinder car that idles at 7000-8000RPM

Who wants to bet that will get banned pretty soon?
 
It was just my personal opinion, not really related to the race. Alonso is an arsehole in my books.

If you take a look at the video, towards the end. Alonso high five's Webber. Surely a friend of Webber's is a friend of yours.
 
Yes apparently those two are very very good friends. Unusual for F1 drivers to socialise these days but good to see some people actually like each other in F1!!!

Interesting news there HondaF1.....kinda like GM's displacement on demand system.
 
^ Does anyone know what Alonso and Massa were saying to eachother? I assume they were speaking Spanish.

Yes, Webber and Alonso are good friends, but that still doesn't change my opinion of Alonso.
