Hehe nice to see the banter is still alive in this forum.

Schumacher looked strong yesterday, missed the start of the race as I was in QLD and time difference threw me, of course he retired 10 seconds after I walked into the pub, so it was my fault, I should have just waited until I got back to Melbourne and watched the recording.

Bud I still follow Scumi but I have turned into a closet Button fan. I just love the way he's gotten the team around him last year over Hamilton, and since Whitmarsh took the reins Im starting to like McLaren as well :shock:

Who's qualified 4th and who's qualified 7th? :hehe:


As I said before, Nico made a mistake on his lap. Did you not see his lock-up?


No, didn't see it but I'm restricted to the BBC's coverage.


Shame you're restricted to the BBC coverage, mate; it means you miss a lot of facts. :/


Indeed, us lot that don't have Sky are going to miss a lot but that's the way it is unfortunately.


Not at all. Turns out us BBC viewers miss very little actually. 8-)

I wrote that before the race but after the woeful attempt at covering the qualifying session.

I didn't think qualifying was too bad tbh. Didn't seem to miss much... only a few laps at the beginning of each session, which is usually where a HRT or a Marussia just trickle slowly around.

Lol yeah even with the team around him he still can't figure out how to drive the car quickly. 0-7 to Hamilton in qual so far, not too shabby for Mr Nice Guy. :hehe:

He was always doomed once Hamilton sorted his head out. Still, I grew so much distaste for Hamilton blaming everyone but himself for his mistakes it was a pleasure to see Button get one up on him, regardless of how he did it :wink:

Haha fair enough...similar to my perspective of the Merc pair actually and the fact Rosberg is doing so well, I never liked Schumacher in his Ferrari days though he was a hell of a driver and caused endless problems for my dream pairing at the time at McLaren. :wink:

The last dream pairings McLaren had - DC/Mika and DC/Kimi.

Then it all went to hell. I found myself supporting only 1 side of the garage since then. :hehe:

Ah of course, DC & Kimi, how could I forget? Couldn't have two more polar opposites driving lol.

I was expecting you to say Prost/Senna or Hamilton/Alonso. If only they managed those personalities they would have been a force to be reckoned with.
