having read these articles about goodwood and overtaking it has got me wanting to watch some season reviews over the weekend, while not doing the july 4th thing. Only i can’t work out what seasons to watch from 1975 to say 2006.

can anyone suggest some years for me please?

I know!
It’s made even worse by the over the top loading times on my computer! It took about 10 minutes to load and i didn’t even stay on for over a minute! Also it damages your car if you go off the racing line!
How realistic!

That Yas Marina circuit thing is hideous to use! The controls dont make any sense at all, there isnt even an accelerate and brake function haha. Lets hope they do a better job on the circuit than on the game :p

Yesterday mine wouldn’t load at all on the third screen!
It’s working faster today though.

Yeah, I don’t think Ross is frustrated. And I suspect the Brawn’s will be back at the top of the timesheets come Hungary, if not Germany… And they should be pretty handy around Valencia and Singapore too…

Interesting engine stats. So why isn’t this part of the information available during Practice. Qualifying and Racing? Just a little note on Driver stats would do….
I suppose it will only get mentioned if Kubica or somebody else is penalised after a particulary good Qualifying…

mmm, I don’t think Ross is frustrated, in fact he is always very calm and professional. I think Brawn will hit back within the next two races,..

I read Ross’s quote as being frustrated about the weather rather than the drivers?!?

Is that the problem? Red Bull have successfully adapted their car to the trick diffuser without testing.

Doesn’t the Brawn problem at Silverstone show that the ban on inseason testing is the wrong way to go. There must be a different solution to reduced testing and saving money.

Brawn have updates already I was hoping RED Bull could catch up a bit first

I think your right about Brawn, Keith. The Red Bulls were already fast at the beginning of the season without the trick diffusers. Now that they have them and Newey has them sorted I think Ross is getting worried.

Apparently Kubica’s engine situation is not as bad as F1wolf reports. From F1live:

The Pole had an engine failure during Friday practice at Silverstone recently, but what was less well known is that the V8 unit’s fresh replacement also had to be changed the following day.

Subsequent checks in Munich ultimately gave the second engine the all-clear when the only problem found was a faulty sensor, but Kubica is already using his fifth engine, Auto Motor und Sport reports.

I tried the yas marina thing earlier but unfortunately it stopped loading half way through the 3rd screen

Will try again tomorrow I think
