Nobody watching the Austrian F1? Just finished, I'd have watched except I was walking the streets of Frankfurt

Unfortunately not shown live here on FTA here until tonight!

I bit the bullet last night about 45 mins before the race and took a 2 week free subs to Foxtel so watched that race and will see the British GP before I cancel - well that's the plan.

Found an Irish pub here in Cologne. Thankfully they are showing qually. Unfortunately Hamilton on pole and Ric not even in the top 10

Just love Koln. Sad you are going to an Irish pub. Kolch rules not Guinness!

Got another 2wks trial on foxtel so watching the whole circus.
I was in London on tuesday so managed to attend the free show!

The Irish pub was showing the F1 though. In English. And they do serve Kolsch, 1 litre for 7€

They serve Kolsch from wooden carriers and mark your coaster with the quantity. We had 225 marks one night several years ago between....

At least RIC has picked up a place before the start of the race.

Can Dr catch hulkenberg?

Can Dr catch hulkenberg?

I am sure he will give it all he has. But he will need about a second a lap to do it.

 

[lakeman]

Nearly there,hopefully hulkenbergs tyres might fade

 

[JessicaTam]

Well the finish was worth the price of admission!

 

[lakeman]

I think Dr did more overtaking than the whole field in a normal gp.
Cant believe how the tyres degraded

Should 'doctor' be the new nickname for RIC? We have had a professor.

I saw the Prof's team mate (1981/82) Rene Arnoux earlier in the week on Fox. In those days could watch F1 on FTA. It seems such a long time ago when Renault and Alfa Romeo were dueling.

They were the good old days.
Remember one of Senna's first races at Monaco (Tollman?). I'm certain he would have won that wet race had it not been stopped.

To me, Daniel does come across a lot like Prost, he's consistent, cerebral and knows his craft. Across the garage though I fear there's a 19 year old that is simply "fast", has flair and finds gaps where they don't normally exist, just like Senna. Still, if Daniel can end up with four world titles like Prost then I am sure he would take that in an instant!

I think he'd settle for one right about now!

Wasn't Prost "The Professor"?
