i'm not bothered by you having schumi either, he's not gonna win much this season anyway :tongue:

Trust me to get one I've never bloody heard of :p

you never heard the expression the trulli train during a race before?

My Man Vettel has Pole!

Has the fastest car aswell........reliability will be an issue and tyre degredation.......schumi will win the race after pitting just before everyone else....

I am shocked at the Vettel final lap! He is really the best driver. If he had the best car, no one could mess with him, but he is still taking them to the cleaners.

At last, we will finally see, how inadequate Jenson Button really is, as Hamilton outclass him this season.

Looking forward to watching Michael ease into the season. He is gonna be a force to be reckon with, especially in his favorite circuits.

thank you i saw button was complaining about his car yet lewis has same car and actually had a brake related problem in yesterday mornings practise but still qualified higher on the grid than button speaks volumes to me
did anyone else see the bit when the commentators were discussing what jenson said about pressing the big blue button and 1 of them said its like being told in child like simple instructions :joker
my dad bless him is picking me up later so i dont miss the race before we go to his house for dinner was gonna be following on the radio
i saw on twitter this morning massa has had to have a engine replacement for something but i dunno what? they did say though it was just a precaution so wont earn him penalty as can still be used in free practise
i think its gonna be a good race

For anyone interested. :p Here's the live timing - http://www.formula1.com/live_timing/live_timing.html

You need to re-reg.

Wildcat don't be so ridiculous, Eoin offered to redo the draw ffs.

Quite happy getting Lewis. He's doing alright so far.

that is a boring ass race! these new rules arent making the race any more interesting. Everyone is taking it easy, and waiting for who runs out of tire first!
zzzzzzz!!!!

Same old thing about cars can't run close to each other.

Probs for Vettel.

It seems like the best strategy is to sit back and wait. Hamilton who is alone in 4th is now lapping faster than the 3 up front damaging each others tires.

I'm a bit behind...looks like Vettel could have big problems....loss of power :/

Massa (my man in the sweepstake second) !!!!!


Hamilton third great news.

Feel sorry for Vettel, but signs are good for him for this season so long as they can get the car consistently good.

Happy for Massa finishing 2nd, and well done Lewis!! :)

Hate Vettel :)

So its great.

Poor button :(

Poor Button my arse, he'll be shown up to be the poor driver he really is this season, mark my words.

Already blaming his car even though he and Lewis both had problems in practice, and Lewis went on to both qualify and perform better in the race.

16 points for me and Lewis :)

Good start for Ferrari - 1st and 2nd! God I hate Alonso though.

What's that you say?! :P

Schumacher done a great job today......needs to get used to being a driver again and getused to tyres......i reckon by race 4 he'll be battling properly again.....

great to see Ferrari back to the top though and lewis.....poor button outclassed by a 41 year old.......

That was woshful thinking on my behalf, it will take schumi a few races, possibly a year to get to grips with the new car.....will do table after dinner....

Lewis is a better driver though, not sure how to explain myself but hamilton is more likely to take a chance than button in overtaking.

Button drove well last season no doubt though.

Button had an advante of a loophole in the regulations last season with the double diffuser.....quite like with Mclaren this season, if you have a look on there car theres an odd bump on the front nose cone.....it pushes air around and gives them an aerodynamic advantage.....;) basically 4 tenths faster than other cars.....

Lewis did great anyone who finished ahead of vettel will be very happy.....great to see the lotus team have 2 cars finish.....

I get what you mean about lewis and button....

Lewis is a good driver and takes risks, wheras button hopes things come to him....

Button didnt just win because of that though, he drove very well first half of the season faster car or not.
The mclarens had that boost button which is unfair..

want to see another english champion.
