Yes, that was a bit odd. Other drivers were actually looking for wet patches because the tyres were wearing so quickly on the dry parts of the track and then they send him out on an old set!
Still, it could catch on as a great business model for Kwik Fit. "Right Mr. Smith, we've replaced all your tyres with some old, worn ones we took off another car."

You knew what I meant but for the terminally anally retentive, here's a RETCON:
During the period of the worst weather conditions in the race he was 6 seconds a lap faster.

Actually due to unexpectdly entering sleep mode during the second half of the race, I didn't see that bit so only had your description (below) on which to base my understanding.
"under identical conditions for all drivers he was 6 seconds a lap faster than anyone else"
I apologise for being idiotic enough not to realise the unstated time constraints that applied!
Yours,

Loved that race, but disagree to some point. It seemed to be more a team race then driver, not to take anything away from the home town guy. The teams decisions on tires and pits in combination with truly slick conditions played a huge part in who finished and didn't.
But, halfway thru the season...should be exciting to the finish.

Team decisions affected the outcome for a few of the drivers, at the worst weather conditions Hamilton was still 6 seconds a lap faster than his *nearest competitor* under equal conditions and faster than that against the rest of the field.

I'm not a big tennis fan however that was one exciting game.
Anyone else watch it?

Yes, only because they replaced my shows with it.

Whenever I hear that phrase it reminds me of a cranky old woman furiously smoking away in a housecoat and curlers somewhere in a trailer park in a small town.

I used to love watching tennis but just haven't watched it the last 5 years or so. I'm glad Venus finally got to beat Serena at Wimbeldon.

Hell yeah! I'm a big Nadal fan and I went from extasy to agony and back again many time throughout this final. It was great. Now I hope Nadal will master hard court too and we'll se the two battleing for the US Open title as well.

The Simpsons is NOT a kids show. My kids are not allowed to watch it.

Makes sense to me - kids love breasts waaay more than satire. Well, up to a certain age, at least.

Nope. My love of satire will never outweigh my love of breasts.

I'm glad that I managed to put your mind at rest that satire isn't at the top of my list.
OK - I've just heard one of the daftest lines in an advert drift in from the living room; this one for a sanitary towel.

I quote that at my wife when the "red tide" comes in once a month and she's cranky, she either laughs or hits me over the head with something, it's 50/50.

Tautology. It's a mathematical formula, Red Tide = Cranky.

When I was a kid I didn't like Simpsons because I was to small to get their jokes, so I didn't watched it. Tom&Jerry, Bugs, and all the other classics were much cooler to me then.

My favourite shows were tooken off just for the olympics. I am so mad. They should have a channel for this and stop changing the schedules of my shows for this crap.

What? Watching one bunch of drugged up athletes challenge another bunch of drugged up athletes doesn't float your boat? For shame...
