He did have a longer credible period than Campbell though.

Also, Murphy can blame his car. Campbell can't blame anyone but himself.

 
oh yes for sure

cant argue with 4 bathurst wins

the month of may is a good one for motorsport

cant wait for the indy 500 and coca cola 600 double. not to mention monaco on the same weekend

anyone else watch the 500?

Spanish GP was a bore, then pain!!! Hamilton out on the penultimate lap.

well done to mark webber 
 
indy 500 practice sessions have started, dixon 2nd fastest
Downey262010-05-19 08:42:16

some good championship points up for grabs for whoever gets pole at indy. hopefully dixon can continue his good qualifying record at indy

dixon starting 6th for the 500

Hamilton wins , after Vettel and Webber hit, Vettel out but Webber recovered to 3rd.

Odd to see team mates going at it when 1 and 2, then the McLaren two do the same with Button passing Hamilton, but Hamilton passing back.

Post match interviews will be interesting.

Those who like Indy Car, the big one on this morning. Good luck to Dixon

geez what were team red bull doing, that looked very amateur indeed

well done to franchitti, dixon only 4th, a little dissapointing. but havnt seen the race so hard to say.

pretty horrific crash at the end with conway getting into the catch fence

Re-watched the Hamilton-Button duel, that was some nice driving. Was bit of a nervous time watching it live though.

Also, Dixon down to 5th, illegal pass on Andretti

Very surprised with the pace of the Ferraris, was expecting a lot more from them this year. Still enough time to catch the Red Bulls and Mclarens.

denny hamlin picked up his 5th win of the season and 5th in the last 10 races

hes setting nascar alight, so good to watch

Rosberg, maiden win c'mon!

Webber just had a crazy crash. He walked straight out of the car, but horrible looking crash. 

Red Bull really does give you wings! Glad Mark is okay

Sebastian Vettel rubbed it in for the Germans, beating both English drivers.

Krauts > Poms

Except Hamilton and Button are 1 and 2 on the drivers standings. And this was prior to the World Cup match-up.

Anyway, I reckon Mark Webber is mostly to blame. He just went too hard at Heiki, who had every right to defend track position. But there are plenty of other little things that led to this; Lotus being crap, FIA allowing these slow cars, Valencia track having little passing areas.

Good win for Vettel though, there were a heap of issues over safety car passing and speed that led to addition of adding on time and a drive through penalty.

"Not bad for a number two driver." - Mark Webber

This is devastating for Hartley and NZ if reports are true.

f**k thats a serious setback for him, poor guy

Will be very difficult if not impossible for Hartley to drive f1 now. What a shame for NZ sport as a kiwi f1 driver would have been huge for this country. He was oh so close too! It seems the decision was made by Red Bull bosses in Austria rather than Horner and the f1 team at MK.

Ferrari

How I saw it:

Ferraris Massa and Alonso are 1 and 2. Alonso gains on Massa, but Massa defends well, then posts some very quick laps and pulls away a little.

Alonso to pit on team radio "This is ridiculous"

Team Radio to Massa "Alonso is faster than you. Can you confirm you understand?"

Massa slows, Alonso passes.

Smedley (Massa's engineer) to Massa "Good lad. Just stick with it now, sorry."

Alonso goes on and wins.

Lewis Nooooooo!!!

Crikey...

http://www.stuff.co.nz/sport/motorsport/3982202/Kiwi-race-driver-survives-horror-crash

That's gotta hurt.

van der drift was very lucky indeed to survive that crash.
as was Elliottt sadler in the nascar race, he had a horror crash, hitting the wall head on at about 150mph, tore the engine out and destroyed the car

Sunday afternoon full of V8 Supercars at Phillip Island. Start of the enduro's. Can't wait. Real lottery this year with none of the main drivers being allowed to pair up so no Lowndes/Whincup combo for example. Could be a lottery.

"If someone had offered me the chance [at the start of the season] to be in the lead after Monza, I would have bitten their arm off for it," - Mark Webber.

Going to be an exciting end to the season, who is everyone tipping?

My pick is Webber, so long as Red Bull finally get off the fence and realise he's their best bet for the title. Otherwise Hamilton will piss in

Anyone else watching the Singapore GP?

For the third time

Nice win by jimmie johnson in the nascar this morning. hes into 2nd with 8 races to go 

heres hoping he can win his 5th title in a row, that would be something

Bathurst this Sunday. Another day of sitting in front of the TV all day, drinking beer, getting catered by my mates wife with food all day. Its going to be tough Go Holden!!!!

 
cant wait

already got the keg of VB sorted and the bbq is raring to go

with 7 races to go the NASCAR championship is the closest its been for years. really looking foward to seeing who will come out on top

bit late now but i'm a massive Murph/Holden fan.

That would have to have been one of the least incident packed races in recent history. Though saying that, Coulthards crash probably made up for everyone else. Lowndes/Skaife do it again after Phillip Island 500 win. 6th win for Skaife to go level with Larry Perkins. 3 behind The King.

oh i like thist post
