Re: Formula 1 2012 season
Thanks. Good commentary pair, David is better than the one on BBC with Brundle. Legard or whatever his name is.

Re: Formula 1 2012 season
Are you talking about Jake Humphrey, Eddie Jordan, David Coulthard or Ben Edwards

Re: Formula 1 2012 season
Guys, this thread isn't about the TV coverage but the racing itself as already mentioned in post #18

Re: Formula 1 2012 season
HRT still their usual slow self this week. First practice session, pole time was 1:38.021, and the 2 HRT cars clocked 1:45.360 and .528 respectively. They would be outside of the 107% rule on those times, being over 7 seconds slower. In second session, pole was 1:38.172 and the 2 HRT cars did 1:43.658 and .823 respectively.
How much longer can the team be allowed to be such crap in the championship. Surely there are other teams out there that would be willing to take their place in F1.

Re: Formula 1 2012 Pre-Season
It is a shame, they have a reasonable company doing their aerodynamics package and although cosworth isn't top end Marussia is using the engines well.. It does make you wonder what's happening behind the scenes with the HRT team

Re: Formula 1 2012 season
Well, they changed hands at least twice before they even made their debut in 2010, so any ownership wrangles should be settled by now. I'm a bit sad for them, I've been pleased to see an Indian driver in F1, but I think HRT is not quite the best team for him to show his driving skills off.
I hope they get their cars sorted soon, so they are no longer outside of the 107% rule. Going on Hamilton's pole times in practice, what would be the time HRT need to be inside to qualify without appealing?

Well remember Minardi? They are now Force India, and getting better year by year. So you never know.

Re: Formula 1 2012 season
True, very true. Hope they do improve.
Third practice still doesn't look good though. Pole time is 1:36.877 and the HRT cars did 1:42.464 and 1:43.378 respectively.

Re: Formula 1 2012 season
Looking forward to the qualifying today and it will be interesting to see who can secure pole today and lets hope it is a British one two on the front row for tomorrow's race.
