Me too!
So far, I really miss the refuelling and all the strategy related to it.

Re: Open Wheel Racing 2010...He's baaack...He's gone...
Ok, I just saw it. Hamilton flew from Monaco to LA today to see his main squeeze dance. I totally forgot that he was with Nicole, and was doubting myself that it was Lewis.
But there he was with his brother, in the front row.
Talk about surreal.
Thanks to my wife choosing what to watch on TV tonight, the highlight of my evening is getting to see Hamilton in the crowd on Dancing with the Stars watching his girlfriend Nicole Scherzinger.

To be fair my wife tells me the have had an "on again, off again" relationship lately.

Probably off while he was out in Asia... Although, with the dust plume, he could come east to see her.
Still- his brother is with him in the audience... sureal.

It was surreal. Could Hamilton stand out any worse in that stark white jacket? From Monaco to Dancing with the Stars in less than 24 hours. Now that is definitely a change in scenery.

I just wonder how many people really KNOW who he is.
I bet most people think he's Nicole's boyfriend. And now I'm rooting for Nicole since she's Lewis Hamilton (former world drivers champion)'s girlfriend.
Good thing she's HAAUUT.

1 out of every 5000 viewers, maybe.
You're such a Lewis fanboy! Why don't you like a good Ferrari driver like Massa or Alonso??

Re: Open Wheel Racing 2010...He's baaack...He's gone...
My excuse is that I can't root for Ferrari being an Alfisti, since he walked away from my team.... But the reality is that I'm just tired of Ferrari. Especially the favoratism that the FIA has given them- like the $100M they got over the entire field, to ensure their position vs. FOTA. And the various biased track rulings....
Mrs Alfa loves Alonso, and is rooting for him this season, but she does not like Masa much- dates back to the race where Fernando put a move on Phillipe, and got a nice black doughnut on the side of his car. She really questioned whether it was a good idea to put two hot blooded latin drivers on an Italian team....
But I also do like Lewis a lot- he's a good, agressive driver- I remember reading about him way before he made it to F1 as being under contract with McLaren. Good stuff.

Re: Open Wheel Racing 2010...He's baaack...He's gone...
You need to come over to the <del>Dark</del> Red Side!!!
In all seriousness I don't like some of the F1 favoritism towards Ferrari. I wish they wouldn't do that.
I like Massa because he has been a good teammate for Schumi, Kimi, and now Alonso. He knows his place, he might not like it, but he knows it. Yet he still races hard and doesn't whine too much.
This thing I don't like about Hamilton, is his seeming incessant whining at times. And while I like his hard driving style on the racing track, he does some dumb stunts off it (pits) that I think put others in danger which I do not like.
Plus I have an affinity for underdogs and people who have some trials and really have to earn their due, neither of which Hamilton has had to endure in F1. Nothing personal with him on this one. It's not his fault he got the second best ride in F1 right off the bat. I guess my attitude on this is why I like guys like Sutil. Came up with a bad drive, stuck it out, and now he is getting rewarded for it.

Re: Open Wheel Racing 2010...He's baaack...He's gone...
Then you must be enjoying Webers season as much as I am. I can deal with seeing him win, for sure. Much like Button last season. If I see him win later this year (Monza), I would be happy.
As for Hamilton, I'm starting to think that they have selective choices in the pit radio. Compare him to Button- remember we never heard how he reacted when he was told that his race was junk- all we got was the post race interview. Hamilton didn't mention the brake issue in any post race interview at all.
And I can't imagine that Masa took it silently when Alonso passed him entering the pits in China- but we never heard a word of it. We did hear Weber complain about Hamilton, when Lewis was forced wide by Vettel.... but I'm sure we don't hear nearly all of what's said.

Re: Open Wheel Racing 2010...He's baaack...He's gone...
I enjoyed watching Button last season and am enjoying Weber this season. Both seem like good guys who have earned their current success.
Speed probably does do some selective radio broadcasting at Hamilton's and others expense. However, I do read much of the same things in news articles.
I don't like some of Vettel's antics either.

Re: Open Wheel Racing 2010...He's baaack...He's gone...
The car-pit audio does not come from speed- either the host broadcaster (France in Monaco, Japan in Japan) or the FIA Feed. We noted that watching the portable TV's while at SPA. so....

Re: Open Wheel Racing 2010...He's baaack...He's gone...
I didn't know that. I knew Speed was just broadcasting the FIA feed (like everyone else) with their own commentators but I thought they were selecting which radio transmissions to broadcast.

Re: Open Wheel Racing 2010...He's baaack...He's gone...
On that note- if you are at a race, the Kangaroo TV isn't cheap, but since you probably sank a few C notes on the race weekend, it's a nice add to enhance the weekend. You can choose which driver to watch, or the general feed that includes the selected radio conversations. It was cool to have, since you only get to see a small part of the track.

Re: Open Wheel Racing 2010...He's baaack...He's gone...
I'm enjoying Webber's season as well. I've always like rooting for Aussies for some reason.
Speaking of Aussies and slightly off topic, I wish I could find the Austrialian Super Car races in Speed consistantly. That is the best racing on tv, along with the British Touring Car Series, which I can't seem to find very often either. I get a chance to root for real Ford cars. Maybe I need to look into the DVR thing.....

I had forgotten that today is Pole Day at Indy!
So far no real surprised. TK just crashed. But besides that it looks like the big guns will be fighting for the pole.
And for my obligatory Danica comment.....Can she just go to NASCAR already? I am so sick of every time she is interviewed (which is too much) she has to whine about something. Other drivers, the car, the crew, etc. Ugh. And of course VS has to focus on her today even though she isn't (so far) even the top qualified woman!

Re: Open Wheel Racing 2010...He's baaack...He's gone...
Just watched the highlights of bump day. Interesting to see two drivers pull their qualified attempt (both were on the bubble) only to slow down- Paul Tracy didn't make the field. Also of note- Sarah Fisher qualified fastest of the women, but will start 3 rows behind them.
Heilo is the driver to beat, without a doubt. Tagliani and Rahal are the major underdogs to root for- for Tags- this is a one time deal, at least for Rahal, he's driven a car this year. What's impressive was that Tagliani was sitting on the pole for a LONG time, and they just got the setup right on the spot.
I wonder if Rahal/Letterman will finish the season with Graham if he does well?

While it would be great if this actually happens, one question- where's the money coming from? Including the hosting fee?
