BTW - was it me of the grandstands looked empty??

i dono about the back end of the course; but you have to remember that they only sell tickets upto a cirtain point on the grandstands; and much past the north vista is pretty pointless to watch.

i have pictures of full grandstands BTW

i have to admit that the inside seating of the paddock was suprisingly empty; but you can only see the straight away there... but i dont know hwat it was like in 04, or 05

As for the crash...thanks to me being a bit dumb, I was trying to film the start and was looking through the viewfinder until I saw the puff of smoke from the first contact, then I looked at the circuit but kept trying to film freehand...the net result of which was that I didn't see Heidfeld's barrel-roll, nor did I manage to get it on film. BAH!

i had my brother film the start.... and it turns out he did get the accident on film... but it is a bit shakey

still, it was there

It will be highly unlikely for Ferrari to win the French GP. Renault and Mich has been doing well there consistently.

/\/\/\Maybe the Bridgestone thing is not just an Indy thing. Maybe they finally figured out the best formula...

thats bs, fast lap of the race was by Schumi i believe and i think Massa even came 2nd!!

could've sworn that Fisi had the fast lap late in the race... just not the consistancy of the F248's

LOL, and I was thinking the fastest lap and the highest topspeed were two different things

Unfortunately no statistics on topspeed on the race (yet?).

nickthaskater · 07-05-2006, 03:46 AM

Oh, well in terms of trap speeds during the race...

Fisichella - 335 kph
Alonso - 333 kph
M. Schumacher - 332 kph
Trulli - 332 kph
Villeneuve - 332 kph
Massa - 330 kph

so it was just the tyres or what???

nickthaskater · 07-05-2006, 05:17 AM

No clue. Maybe Renault felt they weren't going to have what they usually do through the twisties, so they trimmed the wing, and ended up shooting themselves in the foot? *shrug* All I know is that Alonso looked like shit through the infield section.
