2014 F1 thread.

Missed the first half hour or so but certainly worth getting out of bed for. Really enjoyed this race esp the last 15 or so laps.

Hope they don't drown Dan with all that champagne!!!

Just discovered this thread, It was a great race and i also discovered on Monday that Chanel 10 has an online replay service Formula 1 - Network Ten so I was able to stream it for a lazy public holiday afternoon.

Hadn't seen the online replay before but is generally also replayed on one in any event and always recorded on my PlayTV.

The race highlights was a decent edit apart from only showing the last part of the Riccardio-Rosberg overtake and not showing Vettel-Perez at all

Webber is doing a good job at Le mans, currently second one lap down.

And now the Porsche is in the lead.

JessicaTam, the stream online from Le Man tv is pretty good.

Audi catching Porsche at the moment, hoping Porsche can pick up the pace a little.

Audi is much quicker. Has spent 25 min more time in pits and caught that up on track

Edit - think Audi will win easilty

The Audi has two stops left while most expect the Porsche to do three, so its going to be tight.

Someone once said if Mark Webber didn't have bad luck, he would have no luck at all. Looks like race over for him.

A real shame for porsche but that's Le man....

Awesome news:

F1 champion Michael Schumacher has left hospital in Grenoble and is no longer in a coma, his family says.
The 45-year-old German will continue his rehabilitation at an undisclosed location, they said in a statement.
Schumacher was placed in a medically induced coma after suffering a severe head injury in a skiing accident in the French Alps on 29 December

Great news, I just hope he will have a decent quality of life post rehab.

 

[JessicaTam]

Great news indeed. I wonder how long he was out of the coma before they moved him? They have certainly managed to maintain his privacy. Which is a good thing IMHO.

Neurosurgeon Charlie Tao didn't sound too enthusiastic this morning discussing Michael.

I do understand there has to be a level of professional courtesy in any comments he made, but obviously "recovery" is still a long way off. Certainly all of us here hope for the best.
