- Qualifying race is on Saturday 21st June at 12:30pm on ITV1
- Live race is on Sunday 22nd June at 12:00 midday on ITV1
Info on Qualifying race (taken from radio times)
Live coverage as the drivers battle for favourable grid positions at Magny-Cours. The best Lewis Hamilton can hope for, following his pit lane shunt in Canada and subsequent ten-place penalty, is to start in 11th place. Introduced by Steve Rider, commentary from James Allen and Martin Brundle. The live race can be seen tomorrow (22nd) from 12 noon.
Info on live race (taken from radio times)
Heat and humidity are likley to affect the eighth race of the season from Magny-Cours (start time 1:00pm). Presented by Steve Rider, commentary is by James Allen and Martin Brundle.
Highlights at 11:45pm tonight.
Info on Lewis Hamilton's penalty
Due to his pit lane shunt in Canada, Lewis has a 10 place penalty on the grid. This means that whatever place he gets in qualifying, another 10 places will be added onto that.
For example, if he gets the fastest lap and is in 1st place he will have to start in 11th place. If he is second, he will start in 12th etc...
Experts recon, after the live race, Lewis will be very lucky to have reached 5th place.

Yup. Was a very good race. But it was scary when Lewis caught his rear tire on the barrier and it came off in the first lap. I was like peeing myself >.<' Had some really exciting crashes though  |

I had to work, I heard it was chaotic, could someone please tell me what happened? Kimi Raikkonen and Heikki Kovalainen FTW even if they didn't!! can't remember the order of things but Massa went straight where he was supposed to turn cos it was wet (and lost a place to Kubica) Kimi did the same but broke his front wing before, at the start he lost a place to Hamilton, then he had to take a drive through penalty, then he kind of messed up and drove into the back of a Force India, he had to change his front wing again but the poor Froce India was out Hamilton bumped into a barrier early on and punctured his right rear (turned out to be the best thing that could have happened to him) Culthard crashed and someone (Bourdairs ??) went straight into the back of him- both out Alonso had his ups and downs and also run into the side of Heidfield the biggest crash was Rosberg's poor Heikki got stuck on the grid at the start and had to start from the pits Piquet also crashed when he came out with dry tyres there was more i think... couple more people had to have their front wings changed in all of that the safety car was deployed twice 1. HAMILTON 2. KUBICA 3. MASSA 4. WEBBER 5. VETTEL 6. BARRICHELLO 7. NAKAJIMA 8. KOVALAINEN 9. RAIKKONEN 10. ALONSO |

There were loads of great crashes! ;D
They must have gone through about 25 - 30 front wings between the lot of them.
And at £10,000 each, it was an expensive race
But who cares, it's bloody exciting LOL

XD And yeah, he is coooool =3 Don't know what you mean when you say he could have done better though  I thought his driving was fabby! And especially the tactics his team used. Like when Lewis hit the barrier and his tire came off and the team took the chance to fill the car right up with petrol. That was very clever. Probably the thing that won Lewis the race. Aswell as he great driving obviously |

why buffoons, Salma?? i wouldnt call any of the drivers that! Yeah! I was just thinking that! Every single one of those drivers are amazingly talented! Those F1 cars are ridiculously hard to drive. With close to 800 bhp and the weight of next to nothing, they have way over 1000 bhp per ton (more than a bugatti veyron!), and are super fast and very hard to control. This is where I hold myself back from getting even more technical here but I could write on about this for aaages. And trust me, you'd fall asleep bacause I manage to make a very interesting subject very boring XD But anyway, those drivers are fabby! |
