Well done team GBR! A stunning lap from Robbie (1'16.927)
Lets hope they get their 1st win too!

well Done Robbie Kerr lets hope he can stay there.

any chance of a link to the full grid I cant seem to find it anywhere ?

marcus · 11 Feb 2006, 09:05 (Ref:1520202)

nevermind I found it

Crazy site that one

I criticised Robbie Kerr in the past, but I have to say well done Robbie on your Pole. Very good driving, just need that win from it now. Go Robbie.

I have posted this in the Indonesia Round thread, but he deserves praise this time.

Great job from Robbie Kerr!

Lets hope he can convert it into 1st win tommorow but I think it will be a lottery if its wet which is on the cards!

good - lets hope the grid gets messed up and let robbie get away with an easy 1st win. All he needs is that first one, then i'm sure the results will come flooding in

i'm sure robbie would like to win on his driving skills than win the race just because the rest of the field tangled on the start line which left him the only car in the race. that said GB needs some luck or act of god to win a race anyway.

Team GB have NO luck at all - but why didn't he get the call to come into the pits in time? i.e. he was already past the pitlane entrance?!??

play mate · 12 Feb 2006, 08:36 (Ref:1520766)

Gutted.

Robbie deserved that win so much, i just don't understand why he seems to have so much bad luck. He had obviously sorted the gremlins on his car from the sprint race... and well, I cant explain how gutted i feel for them!

No luck or bad decisions? Their strategy was terrible this race.

Ian Sowman · 12 Feb 2006, 08:54 (Ref:1520780)

Yes, the strategy did seem rather weather-dependent. And we all know the last thing you can depend on is the weather...

Kebab · 12 Feb 2006, 08:56 (Ref:1520783)

Well, either Robbie didn't hear/ignored the call or the team are crap (again - the air hose last race was a joke!)

Ian Sowman · 12 Feb 2006, 08:57 (Ref:1520784)

Either way, it isn't a matter of luck, then...

Kebab · 12 Feb 2006, 09:00 (Ref:1520786)

Not hearing the call would be bad luck...

Also, that bloke on TV said he may have been already past the pitlane entrance, so in that case it would have been bad luck too ... or the team being slow

The teams know when the safety car is put on standby so Team GB should have been ready to act. Missing pit calls happens in every championship all the way up to F1 so it could be a case of bad luck, but not pitting during the other safety car periods as they were holding out for rain was just sloppy as it sacrificed a solid points position.
