So, after qualifying yesterday, today’s race looks like it could be a cracker – though it’s hard to believe anybody but the Red Bulls will be at the head of the pack come lap two.

Predictions? Ferraris in the top six, 1) Vettel, 2) Webber 3) Hamo 4) Button – bit of a safe prediction I know, but will be interesting to see how it all shakes out.

COME ON MCLAREN!!!!

want a macca victory. suspect a bull to win

lewis to get in front of fingerboy will get taken out by him in a stupid overtake

:I’m thinking tyres might come into play and Button will come out on top. Looks like out might be a good race though. 🙂

Vettel “couldn’t find the KERS button” – 😀

That’s their secret. The mini launch KERS thing they’ve got. They’ll be rapid off the line.

Have the clocks gone forward.?

I need coffee.

yes, and so do i.

Thought so it’s still dark outside. I think Vettel is going to storm this one. I would like to see the mercs in the running but the redbull is pretty quick.

Hoping for a Macca 1-2 but fearful for any reliability problems they may have!.

Also don’t think the RedBull’s start-only kers will be good for them – how will it handle restarts behind the safety car?

Looking at the sector times in quali, Vettel was only faster than Hammy in sector 3 – the rest of the track he might be an easy target (hopefully!).

*yawns* having pre race dump, wondering what biscuits to have, heart wants webber to win, head says vettle

Also don’t think the RedBull’s start-only kers will be good for them – how will it handle restarts behind the safety car?

surely they’ll be so far down the road then it won’t matter!

Is it too early for cake?

Pook, you were right, vettel is GONE 😀

never too early for cake

come on jensen!!!!!!!

Woke up late to see the race on lap 6 already. Was the start any good?

Was interesting, wouldn’t bother rewinding it though

That bloody ferrari is fast in a straight line!

bugger

They could make F1 more interesting by having women flash at the camera pans as each car passes. Young boys could play ‘spot the nationality’ whilst their Dads say ‘oh well done son’

(I’m bored)

mark, i don’t think you actually like F1.

bit optimistic rubinho!!!

Post-2008 no. Its all settled back to a routine.

Tenner schu retires for good within 3 races.

Optimistic Rubens!

oh dear lewis

Ha! Here that on the radio?

???

Nice to see Ferrari cheating already. Using Massas team orders to force Button to let both Ferrari’s through, or get Bottom a drive thru.

At least Massa knows he’s number 2 for his last year now.

??????????

Vettels race engineer sounded like Ali G

Pook what did I say yesterday? Vetl, Hamo, (but then I said P3 oz bloke, But)

Good work Petrov. And Hamo with a bust up car

Is it Vettel’s car or is the man just in the zone.?

Both 😀

Im not a violent person but why do i always have an inexplicable urge to smash that smug git Whitmarsh in the face with a brick?

Anyone else think hamilton looks like an amish dwarf with that stupid beard?

Ask Nicole Shitzslinger. She must find it ‘dashing’

Well, if Heidfeld puts in stellar performances like that in the next two races I can see Senna in that car pretty sharpish!!

IMO – a good start to the season, not great, but plenty of promise.

MotoGP is better.

(I didn’t see the obligatory comment by anyone else, wouldn’t want anyone disappointed.)

I’m looking forward to the start of the Indycar series this afternoon too – usually plenty of great close racing.

Its all good

(Especially if the Amish-Gnome wins)

Boring as usual! Moto GP & world Super Bikes way more exiting…

So KERS doesnt give us overtaking
the new DRS doesnt give us overtaking
when drivers commit to overtaking (J Button) they get penalised
Massa lets Alonso through and then goes backwards as usual….
Rubens once again shows us he’s a chump and never deserved equal status at Ferrari, and he crashes 90% of the time he tries to overtake
Vettel top of the field, mistake free drive, Lewis did well to come in second. Webber will start with the excuses, but he’s no where near the talent he thinks he has.
