Rules on who gets the first or last pit garage.

Post

Have the rules changed here?

I believe that Red Bull did not have the first or last pit garage in Silverstone, but I thought that the World Champs got either the first or last pit garage?

The designers of silverstone had a fail moment. The fans want to see the top team pit stops so rb merc and macca were not in usual place.

What? So I'm supposed to wade through 32 pages to find an answer that I don't even know is there? And that's just one thread!

I would rather call it a mental illness. Those guys are the joke of the century. And hundreds of British racing drivers didn't realize it on the drawings when their club was put to shame by some rookies. :lol:
I wonder how Damon Hill and Derek Warwick feel about that.

Facepalm.

So when you have a question about something, your immediate thinking is "I know, I'll check the END of a thread. It's most likely to be at the end".

idiot.

I tend to click from the home page, which automatically takes me to the end. Then I read back a few pages, in this case it was actually me who answered the question.

Put your handbag away. I also wouldn't dismiss me as an idiot. From your rep, you're either trolling or just a complete and utter moron.

so why don't you copy your post over to this thread. Many people don't bother to sift through the --- storm that is a race thread. You obviously have the answer but feel the need to make 2 or 3 posts being an ass about it. A simple link to your other posts would have taken a few seconds.

Usually the plans for new tracks and buildings are done by Tilke's company. In Silverstone he wasn't involved at all but a different team of people did the job. So for a change some rather inexperienced guys effed up. It must be hard on the Tilke bashers.

I'm sure you might do this. But it is not a rational thing to do if you are looking for an answer to a question, as the question could have been addressed on any page in the thread. Or not at all!

It's like saying to a person who doesn't bother looking for a needle in a haystack because it would take a week: "you should have looked here, on the right rear corner, because that is where it was." Well, how the &^%$ were they to know that.

If you think your position here is rational, IQ has to be a factor I'm afraid!
