Watch it at 3am like the rest of us east coast assholes, waffleswaffleswaffleswaffleswaffles.

Now that's dedication right there. When the european races start, the broadcast time is 4:30am PST. I've crawled my ass out of bed many-a-Sunday to watch the race live (despite having a DVR). Call me :loco:

Yeah, quite a wild race, I'm glad to see someone shut up the Brawn GP "we tha best, we takin' ova'" duo. BMW-Sauber is slowly becoming a joke, Kubica is already there and I have high doubts he will be there next year (I don't think he wants to be there, and I don't think Theissen wants him there either.) He used to be a solid driver who performed well in today's sort of conditions, now he just bitches and moans about the car. As for Heidfeld, how in the fuck he dropped from P9 to P12 all in the last lap is totally beyond me, he put up a considerable fight with Glock, especially considering Glock was running the double-decker diffuser. McMerc seemed to have a better weekend as well, it's almost nice to see some normality return to this season.

For once I'd actually rather it not rain at the next race, I'm happy for Vettel/Webber, but as if this year isn't enough of a headspinner, having to wait for the flooding to cease while watching the safety car is a real snoozer.

Heidfeld hit some of sutil's debris and fucked his car up. then he lost 4 places and ended up 12th

^ Ah okay, the DVR cut off everything after the second to last lap. Yeah, I didn't stay up to watch it.

<--- Poo-say.

Set your DVR to record for an extra 30 minutes in addition to the alloted broadcast window Speed gives so you don't miss anything. I did this for last night and got everything right down to post-race interviews.

I set it to five minutes over for the Formula One races, but with the amount of safety car time, it quickly elapsed. I'll have to locate the torrent sometime this week, because I was looking forward to seeing Webber's reaction.

He is still a good driver, he has just been unlucky this season so far. In Australia he did well but got screweded on the 2nd last lap by Vettel. In Malaysia he had to retire early due to engine trouble. In China he collided with Trulli which screwed and had to change his front wing twice. His qualifying for the first two races have been decent. I think if he can get over his shit start he can get back on track and start picking up points. I agree though I don't think he wants to stay at BMW. I think he is bitter from last season for not pushing to win the title and instead starting to develp this years car.

I know some of you guys watch the races from torrents. I was wondering if there was a site that you use to find the races? I want to find DTM and V8 Supercar races.

[ThePotsy]

Anybody else catch Varsha saying something about no refueling next year? I hope that's just wild speculation.

I couldn't believe Kubica and Truli were back in the race after that crash, he really nailed him, figured there would have been all sorts of suspension damage.

Also, Toyota wing trolley FTW! Talk about smooth!

I second this motion for sites to me named. I need to find a nice quality one

Regarding the refuelling comment, it's not the first time I have heard that, however the FIA hasn't mentioned anything about it for 2010-beyond.

Did Trulli go back out after the accident? I thought I remember seeing his car being pulled in (albeit tail first) after the accident.

Looks like he DNF'd. Thought I saw him in the position ticker at the bottom of the screen.

V8 Supecar as in Australian V8 Supercar? or is there a series in America?

I think he is referring to the former, ours are V8 Supercrap. I, too, wouldn't mind knowing of the hookup for any Touring Car series videos (WTCC, BTCC, DTM, Aussie V8 Supercars, etc.)

That was really cool, I had to rewind and rewatch that a couple of times, really slick.
