Watching F1: 2011 Indian GP

For some reason, 8 still feels too early for me, even with the extra hour last night.

  • Eddie’s shirt…
  • Wait, just seven points between Rosberg and Schumacher? Didn’t know that. Thought there might’ve been more.
  • Who? Cricket?
  • I don’t get the appeal of driving around in circles. I’ve avoided the ovals so far in Forza.
  • Wow, an American saying “kilometre”.
  • I want this track in Forza.
  • Mind you, I also want Buddh and Yas Marina.
  • It’s 31 degrees. Don’t wear a suit.
  • Rowan!
  • Seriously, how can these people stand the heat wearing these?
  • My mind was blown a little bit yesterday when Brundle said that they had software to analyse competitors’ engine revs and gear ratios just by the sound of the onboard footage.
  • What if Vettel forgot and thought his slot was on the right rather than the left?
  • Been a while since we’ve had this much going on at the start. It’s been quiet and sensible for the past few races.
  • “We have to pass him.” No shit.
  • Maybe Hamilton’s hanging back so that there’s no chance he can run into Massa again.
  • There we go. Hamilton closes in on Massa, and bam. Again.
  • Well done to the cameraman for getting that Rowan Atkinson reaction.
  • If I were Hamilton, I might be so frustrated that I’d just park the car.
  • Hamilton not finding it easy to pass another Ferrari of sorts?
  • Wait, what? Massa’s getting the drive‑through? Okay…
  • What is it with Massa and those orange baguettes?
  • Come on Rosberg, get Schumacher.
  • I’d love to see Kimi back.
  • I’d go with di Resta and Hulkenberg.
  • What are they going to do at this circuit when F1’s not around? It won’t be deserted like the Korea circuit, will it?
  • Just me, or did we lose sound? I didn’t get Lewis’ radio.
