    F1 2012

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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..

    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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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

    ^^^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.

    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.
