Default THE F1 NOW

Right I have blinkered myself from everything F1 untill 3pm this afternoon, then I am getting a couple of tinnies (admit it F1 is only riviting these days after a couple of beers ) and gonna be watching.

I'm putting my bets on Ferrari, but I think the Renults have a good chance today they seem to do well at Malaysia.

What you guys thinking?

And no one tell me what has happened

F1 sucks mate.

The only way to make it better is to lose the aerodynamic dependancies of the cars.

Less dependance on aero = cars can drive closer together = happier viewrs

oh

BRING BACK MURRAY!!!!

Care about F1... what did you think I was on about

As for not liking motorsport, I compete in motorsport, so I think I'm reasonably qualified to have an opinion.

How old are you - it might explain a few things

I used to be a huge F1 fan - been to the Birtish grand prix three times now (many years ago), and the simple fact is that the sport is boring. As a spectacle, it is entertaining, but no true motorsport enthusiast can say that processional motorsport is good viewing.

No other form of motosport in the world suffers as badly - why do you think there have been that many rule changes in the past 10 years.

It's true F1 is no where near as exciting to watch as touring car or moto gp.

Wasn't a bad race tho, I was up at 7am watching it.........lol

Well had a watch dispites someone giving the result away

But gotta say very surprised at the results! Seemed total role reversal with alonso streaming out ahead of the pack ell shumi style which amased me. The renults are definately thriving in the new rules.

Gutted about our boy button dropping out with an engine blow up not looking like a good start to the season.

Just can't understand why the ferraris have dropped off so much. The definately dont seem to be liking these rules, maybe it really was all the cars doing and not the drivers? Shumi even struggled to get past Webber

Nicely done Truilli, but I expected him quite high up and a very good show from Heidfeld

With a team like BAR Ł is not so important, of course they have their constraints, but they can easily afford to rebuild an engine.

Its building one reliably that the clincher.

This two race rule for engines is really showing who can and cant build an engine.
