yeah its before abbey (i think cough cough). The new paddock is huge it dwarfs the original one and the one at Spa. So thats why the contract is so long, to make it worth building the new paddock. I don't think it will make any difference coming in to the track, but i don't know about the VIPs.

I'm just glad Silverstone is staying. With all the talk of it possibly leaving the schedule it's nice to know we've got it at least for a while.

F1 desperately needs more historic circuits with character. I would love to see them run at Zandvoort!

shaun66 · 07-12-2010, 05:31 PM

yeah for sure. Silverstone was a full house. I hate hearing about these circuits people want to have as venues that nobody attends or are ever used other than once a year. I just googled Zandvoort looks like a cool track!

kevr6 · 07-12-2010, 05:34 PM

I'm just excited for Texas!! Can't wait!

shaun66 · 07-12-2010, 06:40 PM

Hell its a 2 hour drive from my house!! Me neither!!!
I just hope everything works out and they get the funds to start building it soon otherwise they're gonna run outta time

+1

And I hope it's a good track layout. I will definitely fly out there for the race if it happens.

Fo sho. I just hope their return to the us is more successful than the last.

That was a great race. I let out a little cheer when mark took p1 and Vettel went off. I don't know why I'm so drawn to Mark over Seb... i guess I just like #2 drivers.

I was itching to read this thread but I didn't get to watch the race until yesterday so I had to resist.

Sscottfitz · 07-23-2010, 04:01 PM

Two "WET" practices today and it's hard to say who the heck is quick as they haven't really had a dry track practice yet -- probably the usual suspects (RBR, Ferrari, & McLarens), but probably won't know for sure until the pre-qual session in the morning....

sig11 · 07-23-2010, 04:18 PM

I'm looking forward to the race. I'm going to have to start ignoring twitter and this thread though since I won't be able to watch quali or the race until like Tuesday. :P

Sscottfitz · 07-24-2010, 09:39 AM

.....well no surprises there, Red Bulls & Ferrari's on the front two rows with the McLarens bringing up 5 & 6th. Looks like the only "wild card" will be the weather and wrecks (or malfunctions)......

SPOILER for those who haven't watched their DVR:

So, yeah, Massa made it very obvious in my view. He should have won that race or at least made Alonso earn it (which would have been FAR more exciting to watch, with what happened at Turkey in mind). I was not a fan of Alonso before the race regardless of how great a driver he is, but after that blatant team order, I really don't like him now or the Scuderia

m4a1mustang · 07-25-2010, 02:56 PM

Team orders FTL. I did not catch the race but I got the jist of what happened.
