Default Bahrain race (spoiler)

Now that my brain is working.....

I wish there was some form of punishment for brain farts that take out a competitor. With Nakajima's minor fart ruining a good chance for stong points for Kubica in Australia then the major brain fart by Hammy ruining Alonso's good chance at a top 8 I think they both should loose 5 positions in qualifying.

Honestly, I don't consider these racing incidents. More and more Hammy is proving to me more of a Massa than a Alonso/Raikkonen.

Just with Kubica could have won from pole. That would have been amazing. It is great, however, 3 teams are strongly contesting WCC.

I'm quite excited about BMWs and Kubica. Before the season starts, I really thought Honda would be the one showing some surprises.

i just about nearly wanted to strangle you for ruining this. wtf??? you're not new to this interntet thing... and you post about races all the time. and probably see other posts. you SHOULD know, by now, how these things are posted NOT TO REVEAL anything.

i appreciate your joy and enthusiasm for the sport, just like many of us here follow it as well but there is no excuse. you're not a child, you should know better.

one more time, and i'll make sure you're offline on race weekends starting from thursday night until monday whenever someone gets around to it.

apparently mensa don't measure common sense.

A person from Poland in the frist starting position.

Unfortunately, my TiVo was completely pixilated due to Comcast's quality. So I didn't see any of the race or practice, or qualifying or the debrief from Sepang.

Nicely, tomorrow the FIOS gets installed.

Default Tivo alternative

Check out Utorrent. It is a way to download races or other content in little packets overnight. Since I have no TiVo and am often at the track while the races are run, I just download them and watch them on my computer. Search for the files in Mininova.

The other fun part is that you can hear the English commentators. I once downloaded one in German by mistake. It was fun to understand what was happening through context and the tone of voice.

That's funny. I did everything -- Google, Wiki -- and couldn't figure it out.
