Formula-1 News and Updates

I am sure this would be last race in Valencia as Bernie wants to accommodate some other venue....

Its a boring circuit and also crowd is also not turning up that much in the recent years .....

I think next year we might a race in France or Russia or in an additional venue in US...

Freaking shit. Schumi back on podium 😀 Wow wow wow. Too bad I had no hopes from his car so I didn't even record the race this time round. Feels awesome.
 
Being a Ferrari and Alonso fan, I am very happy that Alonso won the race; though aided by bad luck to Vettel and Grosjean. I hope that Maldonado will be penalized for his move onm Hamilton (I'm not a fan of Hamilton, but the move was very bad).I noticed a few things during the race, not related to F1 or race. It started raining heavily (in Mumbai) during the race and Tata Sky (TS) STB did not receive signals, on both Star Sports and ESPN HD. Star Sports got signals sometime, though with a lot of pixalation. So, I started laptop to get live feed from formula1.com. The feed there was almost a minute ahead of what we see on TV, particularly TS. I could see that Maldonado had overtaken Hamilton in the live feed and saw the accident on TV almost a minute later! Is this specific to TS or all cable/DTH providers? Ladt year, during cricket world cup, I had noticed that feed to HD channel was ahead of SD by 2-3 seconds. In case of F1 on TS, Star Sports SD is ahead of ESPN HD by 2-3 seconds.The live feed application of formula1.com is free for laptop and it costs $28.99 for iDevices!
 
It was Fantastica...

I didnt see the qualifying but came to know that Ferrari had a dismal qualifying session...I also missed the live race...Started to see the race by 10 PM yesterday without knowing the results...

What could i asked for...Alonso - Ferrari win, Alonso winning a race in front of his home crowd, Luck favored for all the podium finishers Alonso, Kimi and Schumi yesterday...

This is the first time Schumi is in podium after his retirement...hope many more it comes from you schumi...

It was a treat to watch the podium finishers yesterday in the podium as all the 3 of them are World Champions and also ex and current Ferrari drivers were at podium...

Maldonado hit with penalty for Hamilton clash

Never have we seen a driver work his way up the grid like today. Fernando, you did a real miracle. You deserve to be at the top. Great job!

You have missed the 1995 Belgian Grand Prix then. Schumi won it starting from the middle of the grid. I think he was on 15th or 16th
