I actually want Pedro to pick it up and finish behind Stoner but in front of Lorenzo ( as well as Simo ), so we can get the title over and done with then get back to some balls out stuff again from the riders.



But 10 seconds!! no thats too good

Well, its been boring practically all year... The only slightly exciting race was Qatar... And Sachsenring... May as well just get it over with so I don't have to deal with any more boredom and wait for next year. Its too bad F1s championship is even worse...



If Lorenzo just repeats 2009 on Sunday...

Actually, the Yellow means to proceed at speed but no passing.

Jums.



The yellow flag indicates a potential hazard ahead (when waved it means immediately ahead) and all riders at rider briefing are told to slow down should they see it due to the potential for risk. The sheer fact that at this level the riders do not slow is irrelevant to the discussion until such time as they .... up and get involved due to their ignorance.

And if the checkered doesn't mean the riders should slow down, then this guy below is a total .... up. Because he slowed down after the checkered flag, as you can see a rider passing him at a high rate of speed.

The chequered flag (we in Oz do like to spell different) does not mean that a rider must slow down nor is it an indication of any potential hazard ahead. The fact that most riders do take the chequered as an indication to slow down / back off is a consequence of 'home time' and their work is done for teh time being.



Having worked many meetings I have rarely seen a rider maintain full pace after the chequer for much more than a corner and generally that is done in close battles and not wanting to back off for safety reasons rather than arrogance or ignorance.

That I can't agree with ..... its been one of the most dramatic seasons of all time. And I agree on Sachsenring except I even think that Laguna was even better ...... the upshot al that I guess is ..... how one finds the year isprobably dependent on how things are going for your rider

Well now you qualified it, waving. Yes, slow down. Standing, no passing.

Again, now you qualified it. So then, Casey clearly slowed down after the checkered, was he "dicking" around?

A yellow flag held stationary has the same 'meaning' as a waved flag but means 'trouble ahead in next sector' (generally speaking).

Jums, I am not gonna get involved in your playing pedantics or trying to call others.



I have not said that Willarot was dicking around have I?



Such, I think therein lay my answer.

What happened?



'Watching' live timing only. Spies has only 3 laps; did he bite it?

Spies ..... very fast crash turn 3, walking but looked sore.



They must have given him an old Australian home remedy, known as a "Bex", cos he came back out and goes 4th!!
 
Peddles and J-Lo seem to have founds improved race pace.



15 minutes to go. Time to get serious.

Haystack and Dovi improve with presumed Q laps.



Flossi P15?! WTF?
 
Oh my god, a Repsol rider waving a fist at a slower rider on track.



Seriously, how dare he.

Stoner 1:30 flat. He ran a series of 30.6 laps in FP3, which is still faster than anyone's Q time so far. This is gonna be one Zzzz race at the front.
