British Grand Prix 2003 (spoilers)

[rage2]

Wow... anyone else as hardcore as me to catch the race live? What a great race, probably the most exciting race I've seen in 10 years. The crazy clown dude running on the track and nearly getting nailed was great. Which brought out the safety car, which saw the pit lanes packed like a CART or Nascar race (need more of that in F1), and the passing... Barachello made some great passes. Like he said, it's all or nothing, he had nothing to lose and came out tops!

I'll have to watch it tonight when it airs again.

[Cueman]

Just when you give up on F1, interesting stuff starts happening at long last. Going to have to start watching again, every race I've missed this season has been interesting enough it would have been worth watching.

I did, woke up at 6 to watch the race but it was all worthit.
It was great when Da Matta lead the race, but i dont get y he pitted 3 times...

Best race in a longggg time, lot of great passes by Barachello and a couple by DC!!!

[fast95pony]

I watched it this morning too. Best race this year !! Lots of passing and side by side duelling . Excellent stuff !!

[Redlyne_mr2]

Im watching it now..OMG what is that crazy leprachaun doing?

[ninjak84]

Best race ever.... I've been cheering for Barrichello all season!
I think he's the best driver on the circuit, no contest.

A wicked race though, I haven't missed a race all season, and I don't know how anyone can find it boring!!!

You've apparently missed the last couple years, where they generally could have given the first place trophy to Schumacher before the race even started and then let everyone else battle for second.

True, true

I like the new rulez, even with the F2003, Schumacher is still not owning everyone else like he did in the last few years!

[boi-alien]

i woke up to watch it as well

man what an awesome race! one of the best and most exciting races in a very very long time. i hadn't seen that much passing in a formula one race, i don't think EVER!

the pressure that barrichello kept putting on raikonnen was awesome caused him to make that big mistake. only thing is i wish i had taped it so i could watch the race again.

I've been watching for a long time now, and even back then I found it exciting.....
I guess it just depends what you're into.

That was an awsome race, but the talking heads going on about "who says there is now passing in effone" got a little tired, after all it was 1 race !


I think that guy on the straight was upset that the were out of Alexander Keith's Nova Scotia Ale.

"ahhh crapp ... look away.....look away... "

[92 Teg-B18A]

Yeah that was quite the race! Can't believe Kimi messed up and lost second though!!!

Rage2, what channel did you see it live on? When I checked the listings to tape it TSN was carrying the British Open and Speed was signed off? Unless the silly internet listings were wrong (as sometimes they are which is kinda weird). Ahh well taped the replay at 7

[fast95pony]

It was live on Speed..

[quickshifter]

Definatley one of the best races for passing yet alone lead changes ( 7 ) That frickin crazy kilty made everyone pit like Nascar for sure and stratagies were turned upside down and inside out. What the hell was with the smoke from the Jags? Anyhow I'm sure Damatta felt like "the king of the world" for a while though being in the lead. I'm a huge fan of Mclaren, so Kimi did very well I thought by the amount of pressure Barricello was laying on. I love watching both of them race because they either end up 1srt or 2nd of each other and I think there driving skills are very similar. Although he was checking his mirrors too much as Montoya snuck by for 2nd, and Coultard did very well especially since his previous race finishes.

Look forward to the next one.

The World Championship could be decided in Japan this year. Now that's exciting. That hasnt happened in years.

Yeah, it should be an exciting finish to the season for sure! Kimi just needs to settle down a bit (lost second place at this GP) and I'll bet he'll win it this year!

Go Kimi!!!
