Sticky Senor?

:multi: FINALLY the 2005 season is here :multi: :D

and just one lil thingy ... mention the time zones ... cuz i got no idea when its 2 pm in melbourne ... it will prolly be like 8 am here :?

Let´s see if there will be more competition this year for Schumi... :D

I'm pretty sure you are 6hrs behind Melb, so yes at race start it will be 8AM :wink:
I can't wait for tomorrow morning, coverage starts at 6am and goes through till 5pm....and then the same on Sunday :D

yer boi, i watched some of the pratice, whats with red bull racing very impressive, alot diferent from the pratice session last year,

with the changes i find the cars are looking much more sexy.. not sure why! lol

webber "15 7 Mark Webber Williams-BMW 1:27.329 "

very disapointing!

and I don't any freaking idea of the time in melbourne, neither in asia.
I'll have to find the gmt time

I looove the time zone convertor at f1.com
I hope my computer isn't playing with me... I'm at a time zone of GMT-6:00, so I'm 17 hours from the race time.
I'll see the race at 9:00 pm on saturday night :D

first "action" photos from the BMW.Williams F1 team ... 8)

theodoros, from which webpage you got those pics?

edit:
and toronto beated me up with the qualifying....

god bless the rain!!!
and excellent place for MS :wink:. This sesion has now become the perfect thing to see the second sesion and race :mrgreen:

/\/\/\
well, hopefully Montoya will crash into Raikkonen while overtaking him

Excellent job by Karthikeyan. He was impressive in damp conditions. Schumi, Massa and Sato were caught out by a sudden change in weather for the worse.

I use a program called Sun Clock which has a map of the world and shows the times in as many places as you choose....here is a screenshot:

so by this I calculate you are 17hrs behind Melb :wink:
