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

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.

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!

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.

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.

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. Wink

KR and RK nice. Smiley
