pumpdoc 2 Report post Posted April 5, 2009 Ok this debacle of a race shortining never had to happen. Why did it? Well because Bernie decided that you Europeans whinge so damn much about having to get up before dawn to watch a race that he move the flyaway races to the late day with no chance of finishing a race if there is a delay. Just think folks we could have had a proper race if not for you pussy Europeans crying in your oatmeal about having to get up early. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
freaky2 1 Report post Posted April 5, 2009 Do you intend to fight with the not-pussy-Europeans front? Because after all, those of us who are here don't mind races being at 5, 6, 7am. It's the general public, which would never stick his nose in an F1 forum, who you should battle against. That and Bernie, obviously. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AleHop 0 Report post Posted April 5, 2009 It's not for the europeans, it's for Tamara Ecclestone and his boyfriend that they want to have a race for their 11 a.m. breakfast. Oh, actually they are Europeans. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nah, hey over in my territory there is only one race on during the day, Brazil all the others are either 11pm or 2am or 5 am yet you don't hear us whinge, If this race had been run at the standard 2pm local time there would've been a full race run.

Jenson_Rules 0 Report post Posted April 5, 2009 Hardly! Most F1 fans don't mind waking up early for the races, I never did. It's Bernie wanting to increase his viewing figures, that is the only reason! So if you want to blame someone, blame him! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just think folks we could have had a proper race if not for you pussy Europeans crying in your oatmeal about having to get up early. BECAUSE IT BOLLOCKING WELL WAS! Sorry, I just thought I'd respond in a similarly hormonal fasion. Well, if you and Andres can have monthly cycles, so can I Actually, I would prefer if all races were on early, it wold mean a bit of peace and quite in the pablo household for me to watch a race. As it was, they all got up late, so I managed to watch most of the pre-race bollocks in peace and then they came down and started causing chaos just before the race started. I wouldn't mind, but I even kept them up late so they wouldn't wake up early! Then I realised I miscalculated and the race started at 10am, not 9am Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
