Correct me if I'm wrong, but in this thread it must be spelled, "tyres". :-)
Anyway, I was watching this race this morning, with Spanish commentary and the typically cryptic F1 graphics, so I was even more clueless about what was going on than I usually am. I couldn't even figure out where they were. I did guess, "Silverstone, maybe..." to myself, so yay me.
The commentators were having a good laugh about Vettel breaking, though. I understood that. [Reply]
Just about every Sunday morning I'll flip through the bullshit on TV and often land on F1 on one of my five Spanish language channels (blow me Comcast) and I'll play a little game called, "Where the hell are they this week?"
Well, it's just past halfway through and the place looks kind of exotic, the sun has set and they are night racing. That in and of itself is pretty awesome; never saw that before. So, I guess it's in the Far East. Singapore, maybe? I'm not gonna Google it for a while.
Spoiler!
Vettel has a big lead. Never saw THAT before, either:-)
Eh, I think I've got time differences all screwed up. It's probably Monday morning in the Far East. I also see Arabic writing on some signage. So, like, Bahrain or something. Final answer. [Reply]

Sucks. Schumi is who got me into F1. Hope he ends up being ok. [Reply]

Yeah Alonzo was the best driver in the best league in the world twice. He is the goods. Monza is a track that has little to no turns so it's not like it's too tough to tame indy for him. [Reply]

That was AMAZING. Don't think I've ever seen so much air under a car [even the famous Mercedes flip of a few years back that resulted in the undercarriage rule change]
Scarier even than the bassackwards landing on the safety cell wall was the landing flush on the cockpit protection triangle right after.
