Are you a new player? Never saw your name before.

[Jeff Shyu]

no, I'm not..

just interjecting while waiting for this slow day to be over.

is there a player-standing tally up so i can see how you guys are doing?

[Christine Grice]

Hey Jeff

Solo2.com

Bottom button on the left

[Jeff Shyu]

thanks christine..

how's the new place?

do you guys need a 27" tv?.. i've got one sitting in my room that i need to find a home for..

[Christine Grice]

I think the best part about the new place is the 5 min commute.

If you had asked about the TV 4 months ago, we probably would have said yes, but now we are covered

[Jeff Shyu]

even for the bedroom?.. serious, it's sitting on the floor.

conversely, aaron just told me micah may need one.

either way, i need the floor space back.

Those of you who set your dvr/vcr to record Practice 2 this morning might be shocked to find the first hour is Pinks. Speed sent the wrong info to most cable/satellite providers. The channel continues to suck more ever year since Fox bought it, with idiotic reality shows in stead of real racing. :barf:

How do you do that, Tom? Where in the keyword search on my DVR does it say "use Speedtv.com? }:) }:) I know how to search for Formula One, Formula 1, Grand Prix, etc. I even manually set my DVR to record at 5 AM on Speed channel but if the program guide in the machine from the satellite is wrong, there isn't much that us TIVO addicted guys can do. Something in front doesn't hurt unless it makes the DVR turn off too soon. Then I'm really pissed---

UUHHHHHH I don't have all that fancy equipment. I just use the old DVD-R and do it manually.

:ibrightdea: Keep It Simple.

[Larry Andrews]

Tough one to call this time.

Lewis the ham-n-egger
Felipe up the hotel tab
Heikki up a loogie

Bob I didn't have any "Pinks" on my recording. I have a "Season Pass" for "Formula One Racing" on my DIRECTV-TiVO DVR. I add 1hr extra padding to the recording. Now there are times when the Formula 1 Debrief starts 40 mins into the recording because of a pre-race show for NASCRAP but no such "Pinks".

Yes and the next race after this one will be the last one on FOX (thank goodness)!

[Giovanni Jaramillo]

Okay that was a weird practice (lots of offs, shunts, and misleading times).

I smell another 1-2 German punch...but this time it's the 3-pointed star German team:

1. Lewis Hamilton - Vodafone Mclaren Mercedes
2. Heikki Kovaleinen - Vodafone Mclaren Mercedes
3. Kimi Raikonnen - Scuderia Ferrari Marlboro

Yeah, you mean the one that isn't part of my satellite service from which I program what I want recorded? I'm not the only one who got screwed; three pages of posts on Speed's own forum.

BTW, F1 changed the time for practice 3 weeks ago; more than enough time for those hayseeds at Speed to send an update using their tin cans and string. Guess they must have fallen asleep by the cee-ment pond.

I have my Dish DVR setup to record all Formula One programs, but I set it manually to record what was listed as practice starting at 5 a.m. It was an hour of Pinks and the first half hour of practice, which I didn't bother with. So, what voodoo does DirecTV have that it would know that practice started at 6 a.m.? An up-to-date guide maybe? How else is the device going to figure out what's on?

Interesting quali.

[Jeff Shyu]

wow.. interesting race..

very exciting point standing..

[Bob Beamesderfer]

Rain always re-sorts the field. I would have picked differently if I'd known/checked the weather for today.

And just like quali, the results were just as unexpected.

RAIN...........the great equalizer!!

Someone put out an APB (All-Points Bulletin). Or better yet, someone call AAA I think Ferrari needs to be "towed" back to the garage or they lost their way to Silverstone because all I can see is a grocery getter and a Civic on the podium next to Mercedes!!!!!

Race Results
---------------
1. Lewis Hamilton - Mercedes
2. Nick Heidfeld - BMW
3. Rubens Barrichello - Honda

[Ethan West]

Go Nick! Its too bad the race didn't just end when he took first.
