Pictures of cars pulling into the pit lane always look great here. The main straight spectator stand is enormous!
Girts (@girts) said on 13th April 2012, 13:41
Totally biased choice of pictures, 5 photos of Hamilton and just one of Karthikeyan.
KeeleyObsessed (@keeleyobsessed) said on 13th April 2012, 15:06
@girts There’s none of Marussia at all! :P
Girts (@girts) said on 13th April 2012, 15:14
@keeleyobsessed What a huge scandal! I didn’t notice that as I was too busy trying to find some nice images of my current* favourite Narain.
* I added NK to the list of my favourite drivers after his incident with Vettel at Sepang. I think I’ll have to remove him again this Sunday.

Apart from the fact that there is. Sure.
Steve said on 13th April 2012, 21:21
Love how you point out that there’s 5 Hamilton photos, yet you fail to note how there’s in fact 8 photos of Scumacher.
Don said on 13th April 2012, 21:55
Quality of the comments at this site are now just complaining 14yr olds with internet connections. Where did the F1 fans go?
Steve said on 14th April 2012, 12:10
Yeah exactly my point. Why that guy is complaining about the amount of Hamilton photos I dont know. Love the way people always jump to the ‘British Bias’ thing everytime Hamilton is mentioned.
John H (@john-h) said on 13th April 2012, 21:54
Try reading the comments from the last two GP. It’s full of people saying how there are no McLaren photos!
John H (@john-h) said on 13th April 2012, 21:55
Ah, perhaps I missed the sarcasm :) … or did I?
Force Maikel (@force-maikel) said on 13th April 2012, 22:43
You certainly did not!
Girts (@girts) said on 14th April 2012, 13:37
@john-h , Steve, Don
Sorry guys, that was just a humble attempt at being ironic. I’m a big fan of this site and I know that people sometimes accuse @KeithCollantine of not being objective enough. I personally haven’t found a website that’s more impartial than F1F so this was just a parody.
Besides, comparing me with 14-year old teens is a serious insult. To the 14-year old teens.
John H (@john-h) said on 14th April 2012, 15:10
@girts you are a disgrace! Keith is clearly biased against HRT ;)
Should have realised – I guess the potential for such comments to be irony-free is perhaps lower than it used to be. I know you’re a long time fanatic of course.

So Sauber lost Claro’s big logo on the engine cover, but what is ‘out of the blue’?

Force Maikel (@force-maikel) said on 13th April 2012, 22:44
Perhaps because they scored an “out of the blue” second place at sepang?
Force Maikel (@force-maikel) said on 13th April 2012, 22:48
After a quick search I found out they still have Claro listed as on of their sponsors.

Their logo are still on the front wing, but not on that bigger area anymore.

Indeed it’s written only on Perez’s car, #15 :-)
