European Grand Prix

[Malky]

What an awesome ending to the Grand Prix today. I thought Raikkonen was going to make it to the end even with that wobbly tyre but when it exploded on the last lap

This season is certainly more lively than the usual stuff of the past. It's good to see the Red Bull Racing team doing so well too. If Coulthard hadn't had the drive through penalty he would have been on the podium That's amazing in the teams first season.

It is about time that other manufactuers were racing at the front of the grid. David Coulthard is an exceptional driver , i'm sure he is driving on a payment for points deal too.
I'm travelling to Silverstone on Friday as a guest of Team Mclaren to watch the Testing for the day.I'll hopefully see all the teams there as it is the last test at the circuit before the race.
Has the luck run out for the Prancing Horse and Mr Schumacher ? ?
I hope so then we might see some drivers moving around the teams and better racing for the next few seasons

How did you get on at the Silverstone testing Frosty? Do you get close to the cars with you being a guest and all?

And do you know anything about Scott Speed the new RBR driver?

The test was very busy for both the Mclaren Drivers (kimi and Juan pablo ). Kimi was testing a new Ilmor Mercedes engine (mark 5 ) which was boosted up in power.
The No.9 mclaren was visually the fastest car on the circuit all day ,1.5 secs a lap on the timing boards at the end .
The No. 10 car was testing mainly tyre compounds for Silverstone and Canada , untill it suffered a coolant leak . Juan Pablo then watched kimi. and complained about his shoulder a lot , he still signed autographs though unlike Kimi , he was very secretive all day( my eldest son managed to speak to him and get his cap signed-after a 1 hour wait outside the door of the transporter.
The new Red Bull test driver Scott speed was there ,as was D. C. , Who only just managed to go faster than him . He looks very confident ,
even in the rain which came down at 1500 ,but it was great to see Kimi pass Rubens at Stowe Corner on wet weather tyres.
The Mclaren cars are going to be flying in Canada and America , I just hope they have enough races left to close the gap to Alonso.
What do you think Malky ? Who is going to be No.1.this year.
The team allow you to get very close to the cars, as long as they know you and you do not get in the way or ask for autographs etc. my son has a website at www.harryroo.piczo.com. There is a section on the test inluding pictures taken by him.
Thanks for your reply , all the best Frosty

Yes, the McLarens will be fast but Alonso will be quick too I think.
I'm looking forward to the Montreal Grand Prix this weekend

Who is going to be No.1.this year.

Phew.... I would have to go with Alonso because of the 32 point lead but .................. you never know

Jeest wan o' these nonsense poems alluding to and hinting at the boring repititiveness of Formula 1 Grand Prix racing.........

Although, I must say, it seems a bit better this season

Nae silage cut yet Bubbly jock, sure I am a Rainbow Warrior, a conservationist, nothing to be cut till 1st July........to allow the birds time to hatch their eggs and chickens to get away and for general wildlife......not ideal or correct, best farming practise but they pay us well for it and I like helping the wildlife anyway.....I am sure Malky agrees with me on this one.......

Silage! birds! rainbow warriors on the Sport Cht Chat threed...DavyP will be going mental.....thinking of a way of moving it!!

[Malky]

I like helping the wildlife anyway.....I am sure Malky agrees with me on this one.......

Yeah, you gotta work the system
15th of July before I'm allowed to cut silage by the way.

But back on topic. I must admit that the last year or two of Formula 1 has been dreich with the red car out in front all the time. Some of the best sleeps I got were on a Sunday afternoon
But then fitba' does that for me too............

But yes this year F1 is a bit different. I think the new regulations are helping and I hope it continues.

Actually, rallying is my favourite motorsport

I'm the same Malky.....CPS 5 years ago RSS this year.......ALL silage straight into scheme...............many of my pals and neeburs dont approve an likely secretly mock.......but they are WRONG.....................

You will agree....tis the only way to keep a certain Mr Wright happy!!

Now I am away out running in this lovely June morning.... have already seen calving cows out the window.....all is well.

[4th gen Suthen']

Well, that is me back....4 miles out to Keprigan (clue for emdy that gives a begger who I really am) then back a different route to make 8.3 miles...faaaaaaaaantastic...great way to start the day.

But from when I first looked out at 5.15 to when I set out, the sun had dissapeared and the mist was right down to the back door not quite as musc fun but still great

Malky, I would be willing to bet my SFP that you got your LMC up to its M.A. X!! and quite right too..........
