F1 2012

Just looked at the price of tickets..... erm on second thoughts will go maybe after I win the lottery!

Yes it was a good race. Pity rosberg was so far in front but well done to him. Jenson had a good drive except for the pit crew letting him down. Hamilton did really well to get 3rd. Enjoyed it.

[Terpe]

.... Much noisier then I ever expected.

Haha that's just what everyone says.
And it's true.

The Xbox 'sims' are getting really good now too.

This is what the replay looks like.
Obviously when you're driving it's like the driver's view all the time, and this run is without competitors.

I have it playing through the hi-fi, and the sound is incredible.

Exciting stuff for a 60 year-old like me, and gets the old adrenaline flowing.

Depending on your download speed the vid may look jerky, but it's perfectly smooth in the game.

Monaco , working Ricky! Shame on you, am sure you fitted in some fun too!

Its a great race to spectate either F1, or Supercars or Super Yachts and super super people!

Always more noisy as the engines echo and reverberate around the apartment blocks

Gates prices are crazy Mate!

Paddock Club prices with all the fizz & fish are now over $3500 for 3 days!!!!!!

haha, last time I was at Monaco we ended up with Lakshmi Mittal (UK's richest person) rafting up next to us in the middle of the harbour and sharing champagne with him. But really, nobody can even tell you how noisy it will be until your there, the TV does it no justice at all. The Monaco grand prix is unfortunately not that exciting due to the lack of overtaking, pretty much stays the same from the start to the end.

Bahrain is over, despite the politics!
Red bull back in the game, a bad day for McLaren and a very good day for Renault or is that Lotus hmmm.
The ice man is back ! Well done Kimi

Flyaway races done for a bit back to Europe next

[Steve.r]

I enjoyed the race yesterday

[grahamw48]

Good race !

Thank god we've heard the last of the politics mixed up with motorsport reporting for a while.

I'm sick of hearing about people with medieval beliefs fighting each other !
Let them get on with it ! I don't care !!!

Hamilton on pole by a huge margin in Barcelona....
can he convert it in to a win tomorrow???

[grahamw48]

Looking good,and some close and exciting racing in store I reckon.

[alanmf1]

Hamilton Excluded..... tsk tsk. Should be a good race! Barcelona is not known for producing great TV races! but this one could be different.

[grahamw48]

Wow !

Just seen this....almost like the 'bad old days'.

What a day of fortunes for Williams!

1st win since 2004 and 1st ever Venezulean winner followed by the horrific scenes of a huge fire in their Pit Garage!

Luckily i hear everyone is Ok but definitely a huge reality check to all involved in F1

[stevewool]

bored already

[grahamw48]

Ah come on Steve....do it in your own front room like me, and on Sunday's track...not that I'd be keeping up with the F1 boys.

Who will win in Monte Carlo today!

Who will win in Monte Carlo today!

bernie will be the winner, those big boats look fantastic in the harbour, be nice being on one

Great this sport, they go through all the hassle of qualifying to find the fastest car and then relegate them donw the field ..... waste of time having qualifying, use a lottery, at least that way you'll get a lot of overtaking and it makes it fair on everyone at the start rather than preference for the teams with the most money. That won't happen though due to the politics and the fact money talks.

At least overall it's more competitve this year.

[grahamw48]

Promises to be a great (and unpredictable) race, with lots of carbon fibre flying about, as in qualifying.

I thought it would be dull and slow on the Xbox....Shift2 Unleashed, (nearest I'll ever get to doing it . lol) but actually it's a brilliant track to drive.

[alanmf1]

Nice to see that good guys can be 1st! Well done MW..

[grahamw48]

Exciting and absorbing race, as anticipated.

[KeithD]

Exciting and absorbing race, as anticipated.

Yes... I think someone actually got overtaken

[alanmf1]

And many congratulations to Dario Franchitti on winning his 3rd Indy 500!
35 different leaders Keith!!
