So the season starts this weekend in Australia!

Can't wait!

How about you guys? Ya think it's gonna be Hamilton's Year? How will Alonso rebound or Raikonen defend??

Robert Kubica is my boy!  ;D

That crash he had in what was it Canada? was spectacular.

I don't think this year alonso will battle for victory many times...and we'll see what Hamilton does with another team mate, my bet is on Raikkonen

It was a wicked crash. Glad he came out all right! :)

I'm thinking that Kimi may repeat too. I think that Lewis may suffer from the Sophomore jinx plus now all the McLaren pressure will be on him. Alonso has the skill and drive but I don't know that his equipment is up to the task.

Should be an interesting season.

without traction control this will be very interresting, we will see more cars beside the track....
go kimi go!!!

Honestly- I'd rather watch on TV than in person.
I've been to several F1 races and they are quite boring....about every few minutes it gets loud and then it goes away.
It's more fun with me to watch it with a crowd of people getting rowdy.

I didn't really follow it last year but I watched a bunch of races. To be REALLY honest, while I love racing and cars, I really just like to sit with a bowl of food and watch cars whiz around.

Hurray for F1 and jalapeno poppers!

forza KIMI

........................

IF anybody is in the Bay Area tonight there is going to be a Who cover band playing at some bar before the F1 race airs.

Here is a flyer. I'll be the chick with the shirley temples playing pin ball.

Kimi #1 then agree RK.
Not looking forward to any sort of a Lewis runaway season.

Fun lap to watch RK in 2nd.
That guys got guts.

Kimi got the anvil no doubt. :-[

BOURDAIS IS A KILLER  :o HE MUST CHANGE TEAM

I don't think so! Hahahahahahahahaha!  :D :D :D :D

Rock on Lewis! ;D

It was a heck of a race wasn't it?

chaotic clearly not representative of the potential of the teams, cars and drivers.
I did enjoy watching the drivers deal with the new Standard ECU.
Not jumpin on the LH bandwagon.
 

I think everyone is struggling with the new ECU rules. Kubica drove a good race until he broke. I don't think Lewis was as stellar as he has been but then again, he didn't need to be as there was no one challenging him.

Rock on Kimi..  :D

One of Kimi's bikes from American Car Show today:

Looks like you called it! ::)

Good race today... a little more calm than the last time. Nice to see Kubica on the podium.

kimi is the best
too sad for bourdais

One of the US commentators said that he wasn't "French" enough because of all the time he spent in the States.  ;D

only 4 year
could you find model from bourdais champ car here in usa
i dream about get his 4 macdonald race car

Toro Rosso
Vettel 2 Bourdais 0
A no-contest after Bourdais drove off the race track after failing to navigate a total of six corners.

fun read...

Massa was a big disapointment, he should of took a point from LH..
Fun to watch LH out driven by his team mate HK.
Now I'm an MW fan too. ;)

KR and RK nice. :)

Here's his 2005 car in England

thanks dude

Your Welcome!

i wil get the 2007 race car first
did you heard about franck montagny in champ-car
he had start to drive in us this year

ChampCar has not started yet. I don't follow it as much as I used to. I believe the 1st race is this wekend.

look after franck this a great driver

My girlfriend told me a couple of weeks ago that she's splashed the cash for us both to go to Monaco this year for the whole GP weekend...! Can't wait!
We've been to Silverstone a few times over the years.... it really is an awesome experience if you get the chance, but I kinda understand what 'McLovin' says about watching it on TV, I think Baseball is more interesting on TV than going to the game- although the one game I went to I did enjoy- I reckon it's down to all the extra information you get.
Saying that, I've heard the 'Kangaroo' coverage available at most of the GPs is supposed to be good.

.... just a short film from '05 with the lads.

Cool I would KILL to see the Monaco GP!! We've used something similar to Kangaroo at a NASCAR race... very cool!

you could come home in PARIS and we go together to see Monaco GP but  prefer going to SPA gp its my favourite track
a track for men

Race or no race during the weekend but sport remains in headlines :D

Ooo... SPA is another track I would love to see!!

The FIA is headed by a practising sadomasochist with Nazi tendencies. ???
 
Mosley was alleged to have taken part in a Nazi-style orgy with five prostitutes. The News of the World published video stills of a man that it claimed was Mosley, alleging that he was pretending to be a Nazi concentration camp commandant punishing girls dressed as camp inmates.

Isn't News of the World the British equivalent of The National Enquirer?

What channel(s) show F1 races live in USA?

The Speed Channel has them

Thanks. Speed Channel had even better commentary than we get with MTV3  :)

"Lovers of wheel to wheel action wouldn't have been watching anyway as Barcelona usually battles it out with Budapest and Magny Cours for dullest procession imaginable". ;D
'Heikki hit the wall at 26Gs'
It was a relief not to watch Lewis make a mess of it, again.
Indy racer SB seems to be in a habit of trying to make everyone else look good.
It would be more interesting to see cruising Kimi Raikkonen having to push it in more than just qualifing.

yep, the Barcelona circuit is boring to watch races, in fact it's even boring to drive (unless you have something like 300hp I guess)

So who made it out to Monaco last weekend? I'd love to hear about it! :)
