I tend not to take too much notice of the times in practice, especially at the start of the season.  With so little testing, they'll be alot of shake downs and sand bagging going on.  :y

Either that, or I'm talking complete rubbish because I'm hoping Mr Button comes good this year, and a Red Bull 1-2 is not what I want to be seeing!!  ::) ;D

F1 is always interesting, always. Even when its boring, relatively. :)

It could of course be more interesting. Early days. :)

I see the Kimi quote of the week has started.

Do you miss Michile Schumacher?  ...turns, looks, smiles, sniggers, "no....?" bemused smile, turns and walks off with slight head shake amongst bemused on lookers. ;D

Totally agree Chris, I always thoroughly enjoy watching it, even when the races are described a 'boring'

You should have heard SWMBO's reaction when she asked if I had any plans for this weekend, and replied 'Yep, it's the first race of the new F1 season!'

Not impressed...  ::) ;D

It is, IMO, mind boggling, how quick they are.  I love it. Also means summers coming and motor sport comes out of hibernation.


I always think sky+/recording f1 is a solution to a more productive weekend. But I always forget that the media ALWAYS spoil the result before I get to watch it. :(

Turn on the tv ...or radio(by starting the car), the result will be on the news before I have a chance to turn over. AAAAAAH ;D ::)

I always Sky+ the race so that I can watch it when it suits me, and also skip through the bloody adverts.  I have the same problem as you with someone spoiling the result.  Until I watched the whole race, I refuse to have the radio on at home or in the car.  And I refuse to answer the phone to my mother, as she simply cannot keep her mouth shut!  >:( ::)

Better to travel in hope than arrive in despair. I suspect he still won't be top performing dog in the team this year.. ;D ;D ;D ;D

I fear you may be right mate, but I can but hope.  ::)

At the end of the day, if this season is as good as last year, I'll be hooked all the way to Brazil!  :y

Red Bull have been seriously sandbagging in winter testing.Signs at the moment are that Adrian Newey is going to win the title again.
I doubt Mclaren will be in the hunt this year. Alonso will probably be the fly in the Red Bull ointment if anyone can be.
If the Lotus is a bit quicker - relatively - Kimi could well  cause a shock or two.I certainly hope so. As ever,time will tell.

According to my mum I've been watching since I was 3 and will put off kicking the bucket if there is a race that weekend  ;)

Agreed - and when it is it's 15 mins of highlights
Motors TV Uk does make up for it though. Sure it's produced in someone's garage (not Twiggy's though)

Agreed
Alonso and Kimi are the best "all round" drivers out there and our only good hope of annoying Newey's car's. Although the McLarens and Mercedes should be good car's Button and Hamilton do have their "bad luck" and gremlins
