Personally!
Have to agree. He's out of practice overtaking other cars on track. He seems to prefer to do it in the pits, or just get the team to move Massa out of the way

Date: 8th to 10th April
Track: Sepang
Country: Malaysia

Session Times

Friday 8 April: Practice one - 0300-0430; Practice two - 0700-0830

Saturday 9 April: Practice three - 0600-0700; Qualifying - 0900-1000

Sunday 10 April: Race - 0900



With two long straights this could be where the DRS and KERS system can finally be used. Maybe.

I will update this thread with more info when it comes up...

Weather forecast for Kuala Lumpa, looks like rain! This could be interesting on those new tyres! Albeit with no DRS as you are not allowed to use it in the wet. If the rain is gonna be showers, I wonder what constituents a dry track and you can use DRS again!?

Some brilliant Classic F1 here, Schumacher gives reflection on his best races and then there are highlights of Suzaka 2000 which is a brilliant race.

And a classic Mika comment at the end

Journalist:- "How do you feel about losing the World Championship to Schumacher"

Mika:- "So Sad"

Thank f**k for that, was about to ask if anyone else was getting the pic / sound sync issue and they go and fix it.
Very irritating.

That was bad, but I recorded it on V+, and what was even worse, it flicked from interviewing Button about Massa straight to Q3. Missed Q1 and Q2. Grrr.

My Samsung V+ box had been playing up (undeletable recordings, 1 hour recordings but only 1 minute actually recorded, etc.) so did a reset and, touch wood, it's been fine since.

Do the following from your remote to reset your V+ Box
1. Press Home button
2. Press Play/Pause until E-00 appears
3. Press TVDrive or V+ button (whichever one you have) until E-01 appears
4. Press channel down four times until HDD4 appears
5. The disk will be reformatted and the box reset.

I enjoyed that race. Plenty of incidents and duelling to keep me entertained ...
