Doesn't look good for Massa...over 2secs behind his team mate.
It's only practice, and I think Massa beached his car in the damp so missed some of the faster conditions. But what are the odds on Massa being replaced by Kubica before the year's out.
Brundel, Croft, Davidson and Pinkham are good I've yet to hear Damon Hill say a great deal, is he just there for show?
My only criticism of the presenting line up is the token "eye candy" that Sky seem to feel they need to tack on to there presenting line ups.
However if Georgie Thompson turns out to have been a devoted follower of F1 for years and the new Sky broadcast deal is her opportunity to demostrate her breadth of knowledge then I'll beg forgiveness.
I'm not really interested in who gets to be WC
I want to see races won by racing not managed pole to flag events, I want to see changeable conditions, incidents, controversy
last year we had Montreal, Silverstone, Spa, Monza, Suzuka, Shanghai and more
More of the same, I don't care who wins

Some very archaic attitudes to women are deeply, deeply entrenched in F1...I can't be along in finding it cringeworthy.
Certainly some of the drivers' quips to female interviers don't come across well, would be nice if some female drivers had enough sponsorship support for race seats in F1, maybe we'd see a change in attitudes?

Yeah the pit board babes are [i]just[/i] about tolerable. The phalanx of female flesh that lines the path to the podium at most races is a step too far.
Still its all part of the "glamour" of F1

Just close your eyes for 2 minutes, I'll keep mine wide open 😀

I'd argue the other way round if ranking them but there you go.
For sure.....
As its Australian Danni and Kyle will be there being interveiwed with their norks hanging out.
Lost interest half way through last year,so unless it gets a bit more exciting this time I'll be giving it a miss........ 😕
Ah the corridor of clunge
Anybody up and watching?
Of Course!
Oh dear Kimi!
Good, thought I was on my own!
Alonso out now?
Sky go app fail, here 👿
If you can VPN to an Aussie server, you should be able to get it streaming here: http://tensport.com.au/motorsport-live-streaming.htm
Surprised they've not been fined for driving in the bike lane 😈
The Prancing Horse isn't prancing 🙂
watching on PC, listing to 5live, made the school boy mistake of putting the TV on to watch it on bbc1......ddddoooohhhh
Well that was exciting, Grosjean was a surprise
That'll do 🙂

I have no idea why I dislike Ferarri so much, but this morning was lovely!

I dislike them due to the fact they made F1 boring in the 80's/90's. Not their fault really, but it's why I dislike MS as well.
Good to see two Brits in British cars on pole. Hopefully they don't spank into each other on the first corner!
aghhhhhhh i want to watch, bloody bbc, they can come fish their license fee out of my an-s
Looks like Mercedes may be protested for infringing the regs 😆 Ross and Shitenacker up to their old tricks 😆

hmm, they were not great in the 80's or till the late 90's tbh!
well done to the mclarens - looks like they have built a very good car.

Shirley you mean 2000-2005? They were very entertaining in the 80s and (at least) early 90s, breaking down every 5 minutes 😉
Now, I like my post. But then, I like mashiehood's post too...
But which one is better? There's only one way to find out...

?
The 80's & 90's were (generally) dominated by Williams & McLaren
Before 2000 Ferrari hadnt won a championship since 1979, IIRC
Edit: far to slow
Indeed. Wrong decade but the reasoning still stands.
I think for me the schadenfreude surrounding Ferrari probably more stems from their apparent belief that F1 wouldn't exist (or at least be popular) anymore if it were not for them...

and i think there is an element of truth in that, Formula 1 and Ferrari co-exist, i think Formula 1 would be poorer without Ferrari and Ferrari would be hurt by not being in F1.
I'm rather excited about Grosjean, a fellow cyclist

When it was announced sky had the tv rights, i said to myself no way will i pay to watch a sport i love, but have found myself up early this morning and looking like a lost dog with no F1 to watch.....
Paying for Sky must be akin to announcing you love riding a road bike on here and feel really happy in lycra.....
i listened on the radio sat in bed reading the new STW mag - top stuff. i will NEVER go to sky.
What's the point of Georgie Thompson (who is clearly not comfortable about her bulging tum) and her sidekick?
Also, does anyone have the same urge as me to slap the bloke presenting with Brundle & Hill, whoever he is?
McLaren looking strong though, which is good to see - just watched it on Sky HD. Presenters aside, it seemed ok.
Go Grosjean! Where the hell did he come from? It'd be nice to see a Lotus doing well- even if it is a Renault (or whatever it is!). I'd give Kimi a couple of races to come up to speed, he might be a bit rusty. You never know he might even cause a first lap pile up 😀
I still want Button to win....
Can't say I missed DC, EJ or Jake Humphries and Georgie Thompson is better to look at than all of them put together, Damon Hill was a bit better today.
I get F1 with my sky package and dont even like F1. Cant wait for motoGp though
Loved it. Very impressed that a 43 yr old Schumacher can still compete at the highest level.
Fantastic if the Grosjean placing means an extra team in the mix.
Kimi must be kicking himself!
Although he is clearly a talented driver, some Finnish friends claim that he is seen as a bit of a thicko embarrassment in Finland.
I have a funny feeling Shumacher could be on the podium tomorrow, and Mclaren make it through turn 1 and let Button/Hamilton both go for the win.
Grosjean, looks like ha has settled since his last stint in 2009, and with all the attention on Kimi over the winter, he has just got on with it.
Had the run down on Qualifying this morning, who went to pick up our daughter, and had coffee and watched the last half an hour with her friend!

We have Rooney, Beckham, Terry et al. I'm not sure what the problem is!?
🙂
Fair point! 😆
there's only one winner in the looks stakes for this season, some of the car are so bloody ugly. It must be the worst looking ferrari ever.
