Formula 1 2007

[oblivion]

I think the PS-3 is compatible with the G25.

Gawd, I should stop this.

Anyone getting a ticket? Anyone got a picture of the route with the actual names of the straights and turns?

i don't know
but i intend to watch from my office window
assuming the start-finish straight is at the grandstand for this year's ndp
just nice i should be able to catch it from my office
hope they don;t erect barricades until i can;t see anything

The proposed Singapore F1 Route in 3D, providing an exciting first-person drive-through experience! Developed by the folks of Earth@sg (there is also a 3D of the NDP stage).

You need Google Earth client installed though. I haven't check this out as not allowed to install anything from office. Not sure if this is the latest route though as the routes could have been revised now and then along the way.

I've seen this one but it doesn't have the name of the turns. I need to plan and find out which are the best seats.

I think probably need to wait for them to finalise it all.

[benny]

In my opinion, no seats are better than the one at home in front of the TV. Not even at the Paddock Club.

Cheers,

If you're talking about the angles, there's always Kangaroo TV (or Kangoo TV, or something).

[Quixotic]

No idea on the names of the turns. I don't suppose even the route has been finalised. So I doubt there'll be names until then...

Maybe if you could invest $x million for the race, they will name one after you?

There isn't an official website for this, is there?

[firethorn]

Yea.. Have to wait till it's finalised I suppose.

How does "AQ hairpin" sound to you? heehee

Heard this on the radio that Alonso had been down-graded to 5 places. That means he has to start at 6th position on the starting grid.

[BFG]

There's internal strife between the 2 drivers in McLaren camp. Also, Ferrari's side has made some unremarkable mistake like forgetting to fuel up their car. I couldn't believe it when I heard the commentary. The person that used to run the Ferrari crew pit is no more and the new guy might not be as reliable as the former. Massa finished 14th if I'm not wrong. Alonso was thrown back as he had blocked Hamilton in the pit stop during qualifying, preventing Hamilton from finishing the qualifying round. Before that, Hamilton had not gave way to Alonso as instructed by the team boss.

[firethorn]

The commentary referred to Nigel Stepney, that sonufa who gave some of Ferrari's technical stuff to McLaren for which McLaren, I feel, was inadequately punished.

McClaren is out of constructor's championship! Do you think the McClaren's drivers be barred from this year championship too ????

[BFG]

I think they should. They are the direct beneficiaries of the advancement they gained on the track. The fine of $100 million could cripple the team but that's what you get for unorthodox technical gain.

[eddyq]

If the Maclaren's drivers are banned then less people will watch F1= less revenue.

The way things are coming out from the spying trial, Alonso might not get team support. It was Alonso's revelation that got Maclaren eventual huge fine and constructor banned.

[gummynut]

shame, shame, shame! the sport has been tarnished.. rivalry between the top two teams have pushed them to the limits using unorthodox means. more neck to neck battles coming

[barmby]

Sigh.. Where is the Williams team ???

[barmby]

Saw Alonso try to push Hamilton off track ??

[eddyq]

After watching a repeat telecast of Japan rain soaked race, I think we will have a rookie new champion. Lewis Hamilton with a 12 points cushion between Alonso, it going to be tough to catch up.

Toro Rosso's Vettel 3rd position was under safely car when he crashed into parent company Red Bull's Mark Webber was the worst to happened. Webber I think has had to be the most unlucky driver in F1.

[benny]

I think this weekend will be fun to watch. If Lewis tops this one, then the championship is in the bag! Although there will still be lots of criticism about unfair advantage....

Cheers,

If F1 is missing all the drama it has right now, no one would really cares about F1 other than hardcore fans. Be it "real" or "orchestrated" drama, it is still drama that makes it more interesting to watch. And at this current situation in which F1 is expanding as a "business", it needs all the drama it can summon to attract more audiences. And no one can deny that the Media loves drama as much as the masses love drama being fueled by the Media. Oh well, I still love F1 I just wish they would telecast DTM and JGTC too. That karting competition that Schumacher is in right now, it would be great too if they telecast that

[BFG]

BBA, those touring car races are sometimes telecasted but not LIVE and constant. Even the Japanese Touring car race are sometimes shown but always weeks after the actual race. The European touring races features a few top european car producer like mercedes, bmw while the japanese touring car race featuring, well, japanese produced car.
