Great performance of Mercedes of course, taking first and second place, but (allso important) allmost 1 minute before the 3°.
What a shame Hammilton had interdiction to fight his team mate.
Understandable from the team direction point of view, but a shame for the spectacle.

Hey guys! How about that 9th place finish by American Scott Speed...up 9 spots from qualifying!!  Anyone watching the Indianapolis 500 today, or is it past its prime in countries outside US? Well its somewhat past its prime here as well...no longer the golden years with Mears, Andretti, Al Unser and the like. The split in the open wheel leagues here have really hurt the race (and US open wheel racing in general). But, I watch anyway for tradition's sake. |

SInce I don't have a satelite receiver anymore, i can't look Indianapolis anymore. A real shame, much more fun than F1. |

Yeah, Indianapolis, the first images are coming right now, well... the fact is we don't really know the drivers. It seems strange here you have women in the race, but we'll get used to it  I've been in places (in the midwest) where they watch and talk about NASCAR all the time and they doesn't care about open wheel. I think you're right for both reasons: league split and drivers quality or fame Cheers |

Its like anything else I suppose, once you understand the strategies involved, its more enjoyable. To some, its just turning left all the time But, no one beats Formula 1 for the off-track drama!!! |

Laguna Seca is a great track. Not far from here. They hold several good races each year. Gotta love anything with a motor negotiating the famous corkscrew Also close by is Sears Point...not sure what they're calling it these days. NASCAR runs there each year...one of only two tracks where they turn right occasionally  |

We only saw a very short resume of the Indy race here in France. Bad weather and a couple of crashes. And a Scotman who won... normal of course in bad weather |

While I'm waiting on my beer I want to adderss the streaming thing.
Using WMP10
At most sites, including my own, if I click an mp3 file that is posted on the internet my computer will open windows mediaplayer and the song will start playing after a couple seconds *while it is downloading*.This is called streaming. If I click on an mp3 file on this site the whole song has to download before wmp will open and play it.
..and just so Ed knows- even when it does stream correctly from other sites it gets put on your hard drive as a tmp file. That is if it's an mp3. An mpu, I believe, doesn't and just plays from the site. So that is no excuse to not listen here! The only thing here is that you have to wait for the whole song to load. It still gets loaded as a temp file and goes away when you delete your temp internet files periodically.The server is quick here and downloading doesn't take long, so I believe it's something with the way the site is set up.
If the thread links actually led *directly* to the mp3 that was uploaded WMP should be able to stream it. I didn't do anything special at my site to make it happen, I think it's more of a situation where whoever set the site up did something to cause it to not happen. And I'm sure there are others like ED who don't listen to songs from here because of it. 'Instant Gratification' society and all..

so what about WRC? any fans round here? We had the Acropolis Rally here in Greece for the last few days but I was so busy I couldn't go to a single stage. And the special-stage was about 15 mins from where I live  |
