I'd say that kimi would be better off coming to them than williamsQuote:

This is a fabulous track and I'm really looking forward to the race this Sunday.
Well done for Seb, another great lap and one pole closer to the old record of Nigel Mansell. The track is interesting, but the smog and the dirt make it unpleasant and dangerous. Hopefully, there won't be accidents and crashes tomorrow.
Theoretically it would be a breach of parc ferme rules.Quote:

Overall I liked the track. It seems to have a couple of overtaking areas, and some of the corners combinations will likely lead to cars getting off line if they don't stay on their game. The elevation changes were enough to add some character as well.
The dust situation is really bad. I think they will need to modify the area off the track to better contain it. As it is now a car simply putting a wheel off sends up a big cloud of dust. This could be dangerous under race conditions.
With Vettel on pole again, it looks like the real race with be for 2nd-5th or so. And no doubt some racing back farther in the field.
Dude, that is the understatement of the century.Quote:

The amount of "black money", is unimaginable. And will never be truly known.
Houses are sold on paper of 10% of the money being exchanged to evade tax... I can't speak for the south, but in the North very little happens "by the book" and almost everything is done under the table.
House prices even in posh areas of even small-er cities will be in the millions of dollars.
The (crazy) amount of land people "own", under the names of their associates (whats the right word for someone who recieved patronage??) or even servants is simply unimaginable.
The middle class, although rising, is nowhere near 1.2 billion. I highly doubt it is over 200 million, if that.
The further north and east you go, the worse things tend to get.
About India and F1 matters I would like to ask CaptainRaiden, Storm, or whoever, one question. When I was living in India, I saw loads of motorcycle riders wearing 'Kimi' helmets. Why is that so? :D I bet many of them don't even know, who Kimi is. But somehow someone thought it was a good idea to put a copy of this helmet design into mass production.
That's it perfect race for Vettel, pole, win, fastest lap and the lead in each and every lap of the race.
Another lucky win!! :pQuote:

Incidentally that was my reaction at the news Massa was penalised.
It looks like a proper trophy!!!
Yeah, it was funny seeing him do this instinctively during a live airing. :DQuote:

Pit entry and exit will need revising. The former blatantly requires gravel rather than asphalt run-off.
pretty good track for a Tilke creation- nice to see a large crowd there- bloody awful race though- worse one of the year
200 million people leave only in the department where the race was hold 100.000 assisting at the first ever Indian GP doesn't seem like mission impossible in this case.Quote:

Considering how much better car than anyone else he had, that is no surprise.Quote:

Will catch the race next year if possible but then that means that I've to go to Delhi
Especially after how the last two weeks have been in motorsport, that's a spectacularly moronic thing to say. It's amazing that you find time to post such crap between your hours on the internet researching penis sizes.Quote:

I thought the new track was briliant. A bit dusty and a few small finishing touches to be completed, but otherwise a nice new track :up: I look forward to India 2012.
Couldn't you have asked them to move over a bit?Quote:

And I can pretty much assure you that the people who buy those DO know who those guys are...nobody likes to spend money on something nobody else has ever heard of :p :
I missed out on both the concert and GP (watched on tv though, lucky in a sense as guys in Delhi got screwed or screwed themselves out of seeing Metallica).Quote:

IIRC this isn't the first time a Ferrari's front suspension broke like this is it? IIRC Massa or Alonso had a similar failure within the past two or three years.Quote:

Garry and CaptainRaiden, take your rubbish to pm and do not force me to close another thread, or this time it will cost you both a temp ban !
