It was Glock, not Button. And I am not really fond of Hamilton, having the local media here hyping him up the day after the lucky win didn't help!

Will be interesting to see how Schumacher performs.

Lol I hate Alonso (spanish driver) so much, when I was watching races with friends, it was so boring at the start, everyone was cheering the same guy, there were no arguments, what's the point of watching a sport withourt arguments?. So I made myself a fan of Kimi Raikonnen. My friends have had a great time laghing at me after that sicne ALonso has beat him almost always

USF1!

We were approached very early about F1 at Thermal: F1? F1 would love to be back in the states since they are missing out on a big market. NASCAR is trending downward and they see this as an opportunity.

However, Bernie prefers to deal with COUNTRIES instead of private tracks. The annual sanction fee ranges from $10 MM to around $30 MM, plus he hogs the concessions, TV revenue so this is a big loser for a track owner.

On top of this designing to FIA-1 standards are extremely expensive.

Well the show has started, the drivers and teams have given a a first idea what they can do.
Tomorrow after the qualifying session we will know more.

[Fluffy]

lol, the spannish team was able to finnish a couple of laps, but they are 12 seconds behind!!, running the car for the first time during practice is not ideal

[hotShot]

At least they showed up and got a car running and they did not lose a wheel.

[Fluffy]

yeah almost, from what I've heard from spannish gurus many of theam almost cried when they saw the car appearing finally on the track. It might not be the best team, but hell it is our team!.

BTW they did almost lose the wheel, I guess you saw it

qualifying in a few minutes, its exciting!

[hotShot]

And they got the 2nd car running!

[hotShot]

Massa was about the same margin faster than Alonso, than Rosberg was faster than Schumacher.

[Fluffy]

lol, so funny.

Seeing Vettel on Pole will be kinda regular this season, the renault motor is the one that consumes the least ammount of fuel, hence, his car is the lightest of all from the grid on Q3.

Dissapointed to see Webber too far behind, I heard rummors that he has tried hard tyres to start with, wich can give him a good edge, specially having teammate in front of the followers group (after lap 12-14 when every soft tyres change to hard, he is suposed to become position 1).

[hotShot]

The sport pages here say that among the top 10 only Sutil (10th) picked the hard tires. So I think Webber is "only" slow.

[hotShot]

The race is over, if this is Formula 1 this season, I guess I'll lose any interest in it.

[Aberlour10]

Once I was a big fan of F1, nowdays my interest in live coverage is limited to 3 mins in the start-phase.

[Fluffy]

it seems 2 teams are on top, and 2 behind, overtaking is easier than previous seasons and there are different strategies, seems funnier than before althou I'd like someone else on top

ugh I hope not! poor Kubica!

[Fluffy]

Vettel suffered from some power loss at the end of the race. Probably a problem with a sparkplug or a cylinder, just the same as my lorry in the video below, I will have to send it to the mechanic cos it is going so slow now

This time there was more action, but I think we have to thank the rain for that.
It seems to me this seasons running gag that Vettel leads and is stopped by a technical defect.

[Fluffy]

reminds me of the year with raikonned in mclaren and alonso in renault.

Kimi didn't finnish any of the first 3 races, but he was obviously strong, in the end Alonso won . But Kimi won more races than him, Just getting second position all the time and first when Raikonen failed.

Wish Vettel has more luck.


Rain always makes races more exciting

[Fluffy]

Yeah yeah, vettel is the man , Alonso broke his second motor in 3 races, only 6 left

[gwnn]

what's with all the points???? am I the only one who has no idea what 5 points advantage etc means?

[Fluffy]

points are now about 2.5 times greater than previous season, except for the second place who has been demoted.

5 point difference is about 2 points previous season (aproximatelly difference from 5th to 7th).
