It's almost here. I really hope this is Jenson Buttons year. I hate Vettle, and I really want Webber to kick his teammates butt.

[Knockout_Power]

I dont care who wins this year, its going to be a blast to watch... going to be a lot of suprise endings this time around

Cone on schumacher you still king you just need a car to match

I backed him for tomorrow at 16/1 I reckon he can steal it

I like Shumi so don't get me wrong but I heard he's having a tough time turning laps faster than his teammate. Crappy car or not if he can't beat his teammate its not the car, its the driver.

M.S on P4... questions answered, for now

[AD]

i am an Alonso fan. after yesterday's qualifying, it seems like another crappy season, and i wonder whether i should just cancel my Sports channel and save the money. ferrari is not even in the middle of the field, they are more like back-markers now. really really disappointing.

the only good news is that redbull seems to be struggling too. what a relief. the famous index finger will not be seen this wkend.

[AD]

anyone watched the race? quite exciting wasn't it!

[stocky121]

gutted sky has got most of the rights this year and bbc has got limited coverage.
**** you ecelstone

[AD]

so what was on bbc? delayed or just highlights?

[stocky121]

both it was deleyed and also highlights but it was extended highlights so it was nearly the full race. I have sky also but i just think the build up and commentary is just better on bbc

[AD]

i thought Sky snatched a couple of guys away from bbc after they won the tv rights. martin brundle?

i really liked gary anderson, who was at ESPN/Star (which is what i watch). but got snatched by bbc...

[MR-FQ320]

martin brundle worked for ITV whrn they had it,

I had to upgrade my SKy to HD, the penny pinching bar stewards.

Lewis was dissapointing, happy for Button, Im a McLaren fan.

looks like you're really going to enjoy this season. they are going to win it easily.

i think alonso lost his only chance in 2010. ferrari is becoming worse and worse each year.

[MR-FQ320]

yeah Ferrari are middle class, McLaren and \Red Bulls again this year, although I was suprised at how the RB could not stick to the track as well as previous seasons, Should be a bit of a test for Vettle then HA ha.

Not really. The 2 McLarens were walking away with the race until the safety car came out. Vettle and the RB team had a bit of luck to make the pass in the pits. But if that SC didn't come out Hambone would have been sitting 2nd on the podium.

vettel jumped hamilton and mark webber jumped alonso during the safety car period. pure luck in vettel's case, but webber would have no difficulty dealing with the slow red car on track in any case.

hope ferrari can buck up soon..

[DanB]

Schumacher qualified 3rd a tenth behind pole, I reckon he can nick it going into first corner and if he gets in front, he wont be easy to pass and Ross Brawn is legendary with pit stop strategy, he won alot of races at Ferrari with pit stops alone

I got him at 12/1 for the win and 4/1 for a podium last week, happy days

[MR-FQ320]

^^^^ ha, Stop dreamin, its McLaren 1-2.

[DanB]

^^^^ ha, Stop dreamin, its McLaren 1-2.

dont burst my bubble lol

[evander87]

+ rep

[AD]

What a fluke, but Alonso wins! And jumps to the top of the table! Unbelieveable!

[evander87]

Yeah I have to eat some crow after thinking McLaren one two. What the hell was up with their pits? The team didn't do stops like they cared at all.

At least Vettle was out of the points too.

[AD]

Did you read vettel's post race interview? He said the HRT that he hit was like a cucumber on the road! Hilarious.

Now, a long 3-wk break before the next race. Can't wait.

[DCI]

Have to say, I'll be watching the BBC from now on. The sky coverage is a bit boring to be honest and Damon hill is the worlds most boring man, he'd even make porn boring he has nothing interesting to say whatsoever.

[DanB]

Schumacher for the win tomorrow

You all thought I mental at start of the season but they quicker and quicker every race, rain is forecasted aswell which give him the upper hand, he was untouchable in the rain with ferrari

[AD]

But the mercs have been crap during the race distance for the past 2 races. You think they have fully fixed that problem?

[DanB]

They fvcked up something in schumacher pitstop, they never locked the wheelnut so he out

rosberg is going to run away with it though

[DanB]

The germans will prob execute that mechanic now

[MR-FQ320]

Rosberg was fast, Lewis 3rd for third time in a row

[DanB]

zeee germans have learned how to make a good car

it must be effecient effecient effecient, haha it was only a matter of time though, they have argueably far more technology for r/d available to them then most the other teams

you wont catch them for rest of year now

you heard it here first, im backing them now for constructors before the price is gone in a couple races

[MR-FQ320]

^^^zee germans are fast in a straight line and with it being the second longest straight of the season they were going to do well, but I think the constructors goes to McLaren although im going to take a look at the price of zee germans for a value bet.

[MR-FQ320]

^^^^^^best price 14-1 (UK)

[DanB]

yeah but i expect them to improve further, everybody is chasing their tails about their rear wing while they can forget that and focus on improvements

redbull still dont know which spec car to run and i just dislike hamilton and button haha

[DanB]

i got them at 12s with paddy power, ah well

[DanB]

betfair is giving just under 16s

EDIT

17.5 on their site

[DCI]

Ross Brawn has made a good car with a big ball of money from zzzeeee shermans.

[AD]

Now that they have a race-winning car, MS will run out of excuses for underperforming

[evander87]

I actually said out loud "this is a boring race" then Jenson Button when into the pits for a tire change that took forever. After that I was on the edge of my seat.

[stocky121]

i think its going to be a good season 3 races and 3 diffrent winners so far.

[AD]

who thinks the race at bahrain will be disrupted by riots?
