It's because we're that glad the working week has finally finished, we have to emphasize it.

You've really opened a can of worms now, pronunciations between us Brits and our USA cousins, potato/potatoe tomato/tomatoe it could go on forever :laugh:

A workmate of mine has just got back from Florida. On the first day, the Hotel manager took him to one side and said "you might want to ease off saying please so much buddy, it makes you sound like a tourist":ohmy:

I didn't realize you were in EU man :). The mothership of F1. This weekends' race will be one of the most exciting ones this year. Remember Kimi's pass on Schumacher on o'rouge ( I hope I spelled that right) last year?

Yep mate, UK born and bred :D I love it when the F1 roadshow comes to Europe, finally I can watch the races live instead of recording them on Sky+. Should be a cracker this weekend, especially if the weather's changeable. Plenty of passing from the Kimster, Hamilton and Alonso I think this weekend :thumbs:

The iceman's pass on shumi was UNREAL! I mean, that is the kind of racing that gets people into Formula 1! I remember that vividly. I was going nuts late at night when I was watching it live.

That took balls of steel and driving skillz we could not even imagine.

Your right about that making a fan. I think that's when I developed an utmost respect for Kimi. I knew little of him before that because of my, like, 10 year absence from following. :)

That pass was nuts! It's hard enough to go through eau rouge on your own and he passed the 7-time world champ. Anyway, I hope Grosjean doesn't hit anyone on the opening lap lol.

even after four visits to spa, eau-rouge amazed me every time by how incredibly steep it is.

You can feel the engines really working hard all the way up, almost like le-mans endurance motors on the mulsane, tyres skipping on every up shift.

it will be interesting to see if any of you guys remember it but I was on the bank in 2000 when hakkinen chased schumi for maybe 10 or 15 laps then they came up behind zonta in the middle of the track and went either side of him with hakkinen coming out in front.

You sir are very lucky to have gone 4 times to spa.

I remember that. Although I wasn't able to watch it live, my cousin who got me into F1 showed me a clip. It must really suck for Zonta.
