Fernando Alonso has won the German GP but only thanks to Felipe Massa. The Brazilian took the lead at the start and remained at the front until Massa as asked to let the Spaniard through because he was faster. Sebastian Vettel completes the podium in third.
Thanks Pedro, I was suspecting something like this since the TV pitstop times have seemed erratic to me for many races. Anyone knows what's the problem with the timers?Pedro wrote:Yes, TV is lying! It is not the first time.
You can check it yourself, watch the replay with your own clock.
buddy, push that fu**** off the road!!! son, did ya understand what I said?kalinka wrote:Does anyone know how the team orders are handled in USA, like Indycar,Champcar,NASCAR ?
Actually I was a little cautios with my question , but whatever : I was following Indycar before, say it before 10 years, but I honestly can't remember any team orders. But I'm pretty sure if this happened in one of the US series, that team would be ripped off by the media and fans, and there would be huge consecvences, like immediate loss of sponsors, etc....Goran2812 wrote:buddy, push that fu**** off the road!!! son, did ya understand what I said?kalinka wrote:Does anyone know how the team orders are handled in USA, like Indycar,Champcar,NASCAR ?

http://www.gpupdate.net/en/f1-news/2397 ... you-do-it/Cast your minds back to September 1956, now. Legend Juan Manual Fangio and team-mate Tony Brookes, Ferrari drivers - although that has no direct connection with Sunday’s race - and both contending the title at the final race in Italy. However, the car of Fangio – the established team leader – broke and Brookes, who was still injured after a recent crash, pitted in order to allow the Argentine to finish the race in his car; as this was allowed back then, Fangio duly went on to pick up his fourth championship win of five.
Yes, each and every driver is expected to do their best to win. The only teammate rules that exist are to avoid taking out a teammate. But especially when the end of the race draws near, it's every man for himself, and no one, absolutely no one is expected or allowed to lay down for a teammate.kalinka wrote:Does anyone know how the team orders are handled in USA, like Indycar,Champcar,NASCAR ?
I suspect Bernie's given job to one of his old-time friends which is using his own well-tried sand-glass!komninosm wrote:Thanks Pedro, I was suspecting something like this since the TV pitstop times have seemed erratic to me for many races.

Thanks ! Тhat's exactly what I thougth. It can't be any other way in US I think. Another good thing that european sport has to learn from US, of course beside the quality of the broadcastDaveKillens wrote:Yes, each and every driver is expected to do their best to win.

On the last lap, you have no friends or teammates.

MX I saw a bit of each of those races. Those 2 guys seem the real deal. Very good to watch. Definitely the future of F1.mx_tifosi wrote:

But where do the accurate times you posted come from and why can't they just show those on TV? Is there a problem with real time showing of them? Do they need post-race analysis?Pedro wrote:I suspect Bernie's given job to one of his old-time friends which is using his own well-tried sand-glass!komninosm wrote:Thanks Pedro, I was suspecting something like this since the TV pitstop times have seemed erratic to me for many races.

There is not allegedly enough interest (read: broadcasters are not willing to pay as much as Bernie is asking yet) for broadcasts in High-Definition, so why should he pay single penny more for precise timing? [-X
that track was amazing... nevermind that it was dull sometimes, it was a true test for the cars... Goran2812 wrote:i'm getting depressed while watching those pics...
