Japanese GP thread
A race of many questions:
>Can Mercedes bounce back after their shitty Singapore performance?
>Is the Ferrari a top tier car now?
>Will Jenson Button announce his retirement?
>Do even the Japanese fans take Honda seriously any more?
>What stupid outfit will Hamilton wear?
And most importantly…
WHO'S NEXT?

Hamilton made 2 big mistakes on his first lap.
he would have gotten pole easily.

Okay this is going to sound stupid but what the fuck is ramen?
We have instant noodles here (in pretty much every shop including the weird german & asian ones) but not 'ramen'. Is it just a brand name in America?
>>23181
You know I love Romain and the fact he is an anagram of his wife but at the time it was surprising that someone who had had such a troubled year managed to beat the pair which had 6 nations cups and 10 F1 WCs between them and then Tom Kristensen who had won a nations cup came runner up twice and had won Le Mans 8 times.
It was based as hell and you could tell Hindhaugh who was commentating was properly annoyed that Mr Le Mans had been beaten by a single seater guy.

Also,
PROTIP
Geoblocking on the SkyF1 website is based on the website frontend, not the content server.
I use a program called "VSO Downloader" (cracked version from a torrent site), then go to the Sky site and refresh the video a few times (some times first go, annoying times tenth go) until VSO see's the video and starts downloading it.

To be fair it is pretty much Hindy and Goodwin who do the worst and for the most part it is Goodwin.
The problem is that RLM is at times pretty much Hindy and Goodwin.

It works for Emilia as well as she promised to go down the aisle in this Cheongsam (Chinese I know but close enough).
Though I've got to say that that was promised in 2008. I have my doubts her ample butt can still fit into a chinese dress made for a 15 year old.

Well she said she got it made as she was going to be a bridesmaid at her friend's wedding. She even requested the skirt to be made shorter so as to be sexier (her badly translated words not mine).
Though now that I check the articles they all seem to mention that she was going to get married after she got back from Beijing and was going to wear it.
She met Valtteri in 2010.
If true that means there is guy somewhere in the world who turned down a 16 year old Emilia.
I hope he has committed suicide by now.

You have to be prepared for all scenarios.
Imagine you are out shopping and unbeknownst to you Emilia and members of the Finnish olympic team are in your town to do overseas training and you spot them at the shops wearing skirts.
You are just going to let that opportunity pass by?

I don't even go to the shops on the weekends usually because there are people
I just ran out of paint primer and dropped in to get ice cream on the way back

>“The thing I think is a great shame – and it’s difficult to be bluntly honest, but I’ll do my best and pick my words – I think the present commentators to a point, do a great job, because you’ve got a mismatch of drivers who have never won a grand prix, to some drivers who have won a grand prix, but you haven’t got a James Hunt, who won a world championship. If you haven’t been there and done it, you don’t see through the same eyes.

That sounds like Ted.
Jenson said similar things in Bahrain when he went out early and watched some coverage.

do you think the timing of the race this time will make the acestream more unstable or less? because it goes to shit for normal euro schedule races

There's something I've learned from watching a few shuttle launches in person.
Put the camera down. It's always better to enjoy it while it lasts in person. Those amazing ass shots of Emilia in that teal bikini? Just imagine how good it would be to be there in person. Still, thanks to the dude who took those pics, they're seriously great

Acestream is hard to say because of it's peer to peer nature.
Normal streams should have less load on them though, thanks to lots of Euro's and bongs being too lazy to get up early.

the added peers are mostly leeches so fewer is better
for example it doesn't even use all of my upstream, I typically have something like 400 down and 20 up which you can see would be unsustainable over a swarm
I just don't know the geographical dispersion of acestream users; I suspect there might be a lot from north america which would mean the race will be even worse than usual
