Me too

I sent the an email about the problem. No reply yet and I'm not looking too much today. Hopefully they'll get back on track.

Superbru has answered and their first suggestion was for all of us to check our Spam mailbox. Of course, it's our email problem. To be fair, they said they would have their IT people check the system and I now see that I've got an F1 pick reminder this morning so I guess they found and fixed the problem.

Hmm, I thought, I answered this already tonight but can't see my reply here. I got my reminder today.

The Mexico GP is this weekend, in case Superbru has problems sending out reminders again.

I had mine (and apparently Dai Lewis - barsteward did also), but have missed The Champions League (not that it matters ).

Red BS and Crashappen look good in initial practice, but I feel Merc are holding back - engine preservation perhaps? We'll no doubt see in qualifying.

[PeteC]

Surprises tonight!

Surprises tonight!

Huge turnaround from the practice sessions and Q1, but something didn't seem right in the practice sessions IMHO - I firmly believe Merc were holding back. There are questions over the reliability of their power units, so maybe this had something to do with things. Anyway, hope LH can pull back some points in the Championship race.

What's happened to "Vital Spark" & "Parahandy"? Has there been a murder in paradise? Is Parahandy stuck on the veranda wireless.... or visa-versa As for "VS"?

Come on, we need to know......

Distinct possibility now that Red Bull could take the Championship, and the Constructors title.

This one goes to Pharvey, and with his enthusiasm week in and week out it's well deserved.

A quick trip down to Brazil now for next weekend. Good luck to all!

Sadly, the Mercs were outclassed by Crashappen and co today - a big difference in size of the air intakes between the Red Bull and Mercedes, the former being far larger. I wonder if that was an advantage at the Mexico City circuit (being at high altitude)?

Merc and LH need to do something at Brazil, or it's game over for both driver and constructor IMHO.

[PeteC]

No reminder from Superbru again, at least I didn't get one.


Brazil is the third and final Sprint Race type for the season.
