Why did 7th Gen you put in tips at 5:35pm? The race has already started at 2pm Chinese time which is 4pm in Victoria or NSW!

[civ_sik]

[JDM.Power]

any tips after 4pm wont be taken.
thread starter should of said tips in before 4pm.
but oh wells.

[chicken8]

sorry guys. i was at work until just now. so i couldn't close the thread

7th gen's tips won't be taken since the race had already started by the time he got his tips in. we get a very late replay of it here in australia

LUD02C will decide what happens with these tips i guess. or any other mod

[DOHCTR Coopz!]

lol @ sato ~

[chicken8]

was sato intentionally trying to help his old team mate?

crazy last lap. looked like bunch of 10yr olds on the Daytona game

[DOHCTR Coopz!]

i think sato moved to the left to let the front runners through but didnt realised he cut off heidfeld.. or he stooged it for button ftw??? haha either way his in big big trouble!!

[aaronng]

LOL @ sato and his teammate nearly taking each other out.

Good drive from Schumacher. I don't usually cheer for him but in this race, he did very very well. Alonso made a boo boo in trying to drive at the same pace just after changing tyres and messed up the entry into the corner.

[aaronng]

And...... WTF at Barricello not getting penalised for blocking during qualifying?!?!?!!!?!?!?

[civ_sik]

if you didnt already realise it was because there was no flags shown to barichello to warn him, so he got off because the stewards messed up...

[Omotesando]

**********************
A furious Nick Heidfeld scolded the wrong man after his disastrous final tour of the Chinese grand prix.

The German was guiding his BMW-Sauber to fourth place when he came across badly behaved backmarkers Christijan Albers and Takuma Sato.

But Heidfeld, who applauded the stewards' decision to penalise both of them, immediately hopped out of his cockpit after pulling over alongside the start-finish line and accosted the first Super Aguri driver he found.

It was Sakon Yamamoto...


Reportedly, Heidfeld accused the Japanese of leaving his 'brain in the hotel' before the startled Yamamoto advised that he should continue his search for Sato.

Heidfeld, 29, apparently apologised to Sakon Yamamoto but asked the rookie to 'pass on' his antagonism to Sato.
**********************

ROFLMDO...

I think for a while Kubica was the stand out driver in this race. He went back down to 19th after going wide, then climbed back up to 5th in no time. But he gambled on grooved slicks far too quickly.

Did you guys see when he pitted again for his old intermediates? He overshot/slid over the designated space by miles and all the engineers/pit crew fell backwards to avoid getting amputated!

[chicken8]

if i was kubica i'd be pretty pissed off too tho

skating around the whole track and then wasting time in the pit again for the same old tyres

ah wells. what can u do

[j3z3z]

i didnt bother tipping... cause i though ms would have no chance..... WOOOT he won ****ing estatic. woot. peoow peoow. shove that up your thick neck alonso

[aaronng]

if you didnt already realise it was because there was no flags shown to barichello to warn him, so he got off because the stewards messed up...
Were there flags for Alonso the last time?

[civ_sik]

not really to sure lol no one mentioned that rule at monza... lol

btw the marshalls that made the decisons at monza consisted of 3 people, 1 does all races, one was a brazilian, and the other was an italian.

Do the math... alonso threatening the ms for the championship in his last year, a brazilian driving an italian car, they were always going to penalise alonso lol

and good job coz hes a shit champion of he sport, and now hes taking digs at his own team, claiming there sabotaging his title chances what a tool..

Gents.
Sorry about not putting a tipping thread with closure time etc.
My motherboard and Power Supply both died on thursday night.
Being long weekend lots of computer shops were closed and I had grand final parties to attend.

I need to get some mobile numbers of some of you so I can sms/ring at least someone to let them know.
I'll go over your tips and check the time submitted and when the last edit was made.

I get my new Board and Power tommorrow so i should be up and running by thursday night.

For now, thread closed.
Oh and Schumacher = BRILLIANCE!
