2010 formula 1 gulf air bahrain grand prix

[mohgui]

to those who don't subscribe to Starhub sports channel (like me) and who don't want to pay $40 to enter Spore Pools @ Selegie to watch the race live (like me)... you can tune your telly to receive the Msian channel Ntv7.

this is what i've read in another forum...

Ntv7 was announced yesterday as the official host broadcaster of the Petronas Malaysian F1 Grand Prix at the Sepang Circuit from April 2-4.

It will air seven races ‘live’ this year – the GPs in Australia, Malaysia, Brazil, China, Canada, Japan and South Korea.

Twelve other races – in Bahrain, Singapore, Spain, Monaco, Turkey, Europe, Britain, Germany, Hungary, Belgium, Italy and Abu Dhabi – will be delayed telecasts.

Red Bull Racing is damn strong this year... I fear for the cars with the Silver Arrows... Mercedes FOREVER! After Button went to McLaren I stopped supporting them. Undeserving champion. Even Kobayashi drives better than him. LOL okay maybe just more gutsy. Kimi is technically brilliant but he annoys me with his mumbling and Ice-Cream attitude. Now its Mercedes GP. Anybody wants a size M Vodafone McLaren Mercedes shirt?

Don't discount Williams too. In testing they have been quick!

McLaren's rear wing declared legal, & Webber dislikes the new track layout at Bahrain.

Btw, how do you pronounce Bahrain?

1. Baa-rain (like in baa baa black sheep)
2. Bahk-rain (sounding like bak, meat in hokkien dialect)

bah-rain

Go Lotus, go......

Go Mercedes GP Petronas, go...... :cheergal:

 

[lioneldude]

Yup.

Overall impressions, we still can't tell who has an advantage going into qualifying tomorrow. There will be lots of work for the teams tonight to make changes to the setup, especially how the car rides the bumps at the turn 6 & 7 complex. The cars were bottoming out so much that during one part of practice 1, they were showing repeatedly how different cars bottomed out, wood dust from the plank and sparks and all that.

Tyre degradation is also is very bad, especially with the rear tyres, but hopefully over the weekend, there will be more improvements as more rubber is laid on track.

 

[mohgui]

Go Lotus, go......

Go Mercedes GP Petronas, go...... :cheergal:

eh bro... you no more supporting BMW Sauber already meh? :bsmilie:

 

[kelccm]

Schumi looking good. Ferrari still looked a bit lagging.

 

[lioneldude]

Yikes! Timo Glock's car lost his front left wheel and nearly hit Senna near turns 13 & 14.

 

[lioneldude]

Great live timing has failed on my iPhone and on the website.

Back on at 4.52pm Singapore time.

Alonso is fastest at the moment, 1:54.099. Hamilton has a technical problem and will not get to put in a qualifying sim run.

 

[lioneldude]

1. Alo 1:54.099
2. Ros 1:54.368
3. Web 1:54.500

As an aside, are there any good places across the border that telecast the race LIVE ? I mean like a sports cafe or something ? I don't mind making the fortnightly drive there for some makan and race thrills. I still refuse to pay Starhub my hard earned money. :thumbsd:
