SG #05 - leaves the track after contact with #23, and continues to keep the throttle planted before finally spinning across the track into #36 as he tries to rejoin.
#36 is given a warning for not yielding when a properly presented overtaking manoeuvre was presented (though #08 did turn in assuming he wasn't there).
DT #09 for an avoidable incident, brakes too late into turn 1, runs #05 off the road and into a spin.
Indeed, you could've drove the QE2 into the gap that Maldonado left at the bus stop, Hamilton is going for Q3 so goes for the tight apex, Maladonado doesn't like it but it's too late Pastor son - remember, those Williams were already held up by the Lotus so he was hardly going to improve on his time. Pastor was eventually 16th, only 4 tenths behind Sutil but miles behind 15th - wasn't Lewis in the drop zone at that point? Would need to watch it again.
The more power you take from government ... the more free it gets is the phrase you are looking for I think. Giving people more power can only help give them freedom, to choose what they do, e.g. with their money. We have a choice of whether we give any money to Murdoch, we don't have a choice of whether we give it to subsidise Sky's F1 coverage, nor do we have a choice of paying the BBC. Closing down Sky/NewsCorp is easy - don't buy, read or watch anything from them!
Anyway, let's play a little game. According to Radio Le Mans, BBC get the pick of 3 races, then Sky with 3, and back to Sky 1 then BBC 1. Assuming a 20 race season with the 2012 calendar (dunno which version :shrug, what races will be shown by which broadcaster?
BBC - Monaco, Silverstone and Interlagos
Sky - Canada, USA and ?
The only thing stopping you from using content that you have on your computer, say from someone else's account, is the website - it should be quite simple, either create a MC licence for $1 or something, or just do "if(car_not_bought){open sim, but don't allow you to drive that car;}"
As for their forum, it's the biggest pile of shite ever. Apparently every time they edit a staff post, all of the staff posts then appear on the recent posts page... not to mention is shite search function, lack of moderation and general idiots in there.
He's American and used to crappy rules. Not only is having 1 car scoring instead of 2 a disadvantage, you then get a secondary kick in the bollocks by not having your other car score.
It really is just a cultural thing, a lot of the things are different in America compared to running on tracks in the rest of the world. From marshalling, flags in NASCAR, rescue/safety vehicles, snatch vehicles, drivers attitudes when their car is ****ed, closing pits, double file restarts, etc.
I mean in the rest of the world, if you run out of fuel, you pull off to the side and park it in as safe a place as you can, and the marshals will usually push you to safety. If your car is damaged, possibly leaking fluid and then on fire, you don't try and get back to the pits.
Remember what the SC is for - to deal with an incident that would be too dangerous to cope with while the track wasn't neutralised. Americans, perhaps with health & safety, don't seem to like dealing with things on a live track compared to others around the world. Maybe drivers don't obey local yellows(/blues...) enough? Look at the Nurburgring 24 hour race - they don't have a SC, only local yellows to deal with incidents like this, this, and this - you'd better obey or you'll be docked a lap! (2nd one from a driver's view)
Plus generally the recovery of cars are different - I can't ever imagine American marshals doing this with an Indycar! Nor do I really recall them doing live snatches with a tractor-style vehicle/JCB to get cars out of the gravel - which is strange because at some tracks they seem to have a lot of that, or for example at Road America, they seem to think it's a great idea to run a few 60mph caution laps around a 4 mile track when 1 corner under local yellows and a tractor/pickup under double waved yellows would be a better option
Maybe a lot of the tracks are built to rely on the teams in vehicles more than corner workers - perhaps a remnant from the oval side. Anyway, rant over
Need to get 3000 iRating for that Only one way to do it - run more races and finish decently (top half) - seriously, with only 30 odd starts, unless you're Simon Cattell's second account you need to run a lot more races to get anywhere close to 3k.
